Gemma Chater leads fight against Diabetes

Diabetes currently affects 246 million people worldwide and is expected to affect 380 million by 2025.  More than 2.4 million Canadians have some form of diabetes.  Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of global death by disease.  Globally, every ten seconds a person dies from diabetes-related causes.  According to the International Diabetes Federation, each year 3.8 million deaths are attributable to diabetes. An even greater number die from cardiovascular disease made worse by diabetes-related lipid disorders and hypertension.  Type 2 diabetes was once a disease that occurred primarily, if not exclusively, in adults. Today, however, the disease is increasingly appearing in adolescents and even in children.

For Gemma Chater, a Canadian Registered Holistic Nutritionist, the statistics on diabetics gets more personal as Gemma Chater lost two of her grandmothers to Type II diabetes.  This has sparked her keen interest in this subject to the extent that Gemma Chater is making the fight against diabetes her career and business.  

Today, Gemma Chater, owner of Bodhi-Mind-Spirit Nutritional Consulting Services is leading nutritional workshops to educate Canadians on diet and nutrition as a way to fight against diabetes.  Gemma Chater graduated from Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.  She also received training from the University of Victoria in leadership coaching for people with chronic illnesses and Type II diabetes.

She has had a lifelong interest in the connection of the body, mind and spirit.  Health and health issues have always fascinated her.  She believes that through knowledge and the power of spirit a person can overcome great odds.  Her workshops are set in beautiful settings in British Columbia, Canada,offering guests an opportunity to learn, cook and explore in a community environment. Her workshop retreats are specifically designed to help individuals learn life-changing behaviors and skills so they can understand and effectively manage your condition.
