As of 2019, the top three causes of death in Guam are ischemic heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. These diseases are considered non-communicable (NCDs). It’s worth noting that NCDs are largely caused by unhealthy behaviors, such as poor diet, tobacco use, and lack of physical activity. With a proper lifestyle and the right attitude toward health, the risk factors of NCDs can be reduced. With the vision of integrating the Functional Medicine approach to healthcare, TGF’s Prevention and Education program encourages Guamanians to take charge of their health and focus on disease prevention rather than a late-stage reaction.
