So how did we start?

Well a group of medical specialists got together and formed a small boutique primary health care company called greenprescription .

The goal was to reduce the incidence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.

The number of people with chronic lifestyle diseases is increasing. People are increasingly overweight, obese, and diabetic, and some risk factors, such as poor nutrition, insufficient physical activity, high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure continue at alarmingly high rates.

A common link was weight loss. If we could convince the public to loose weight and achieve their desired goal weight then the incidence of these diseases would diminish.

But now one wants to loose weight the hard way, through reduced intake and more exercise.

So we had to motivate you. How best than through a weight loss rewards program which helps the environment and also makes commercial sense.

And so Trees4Kilos was born.

We partnered with several local regional nurseries who specialise in the cultivation of local native sapling trees.
These are trees that you will be able to plant in your garden and watch them grow to help keep you motivated to maintain that lifestyle change which you have achieved.

Greenprescription’s board is currently chaired by Dr Marcel Knesl. Dr Knesl is a practicing Radiation Oncologist, a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists. His other qualifications include a Dip. Sport Medicine and Dip. Australian Institute of Company Directors.
