Local Atlanta Pastor/Nutritionist Helps 100 Participants Lose Over 1500 Pounds in 40 Days; Partners with American Heart Association®/Empowerment To Serve at ‘The 40 Day Turn Up’

  ATLANTA, GA - 08/11/2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

Local Pastor/Nutritionist Dr. Joseph L.  Williams partners with the American Heart Association®/Empowered To Serve™ for  “The 40 Day Turn Up” Saturday, August 12, 2017.

No stranger to the fight for health and wellness, more than five years ago Williams, the Pastor of Salem Bible Church, one of Atlanta’s “mega ministries”, started the quest for the holistic wellness of the mind, body, and spirit with his process of “The Journey”. A certified Nutritionist and Ayurvedic Practitioner, he led thousands across the country through the program and has since created a new diet specific effort in partnership with American Heart Association®/Empowered To Serve™ called “The 40 Day Turn Up”.  

“Our efforts to reduce obesity, lower hypertension, and empower people to adapt to sustainable healthy lifestyles was a great success that exceeded our expectations,” states Williams. “100 people lost more than 1500 pounds in 40 days. We are thankful to the American Heart Association® and Empowered To Serve™ for working with us as we address an issue that transcends race, age, and gender—the war against heart disease”.

“The 40 Day Turn Up” debuted in March 2017 and proved to exceed the expectations of Williams and his partners with the initial group losing over 1100 pounds thus calling for a second session that filled quickly.  Graduates lost over 1500 pounds collectively. 

Saturday, August 12, 2017, will kick off the third and final session of the year.  Participants will gather to begin their journey to a new lifestyle of nutrition.  There are a few remaining seats available for Atlanta area participants.
