Recreational Dive (a one-time charge of $400 to $550 per person)

James is a 54-year-old diabetic patient who suffers from type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, erectile dysfunction, neuropathy, and low back pain.  James takes 7 prescription medications (as well as supplements in which his physician is unaware of).  He longs for the days when he was a high school football star who exemplified vigor, strength and speed.  Now he worries that he won’t be able to walk his daughter down the aisle when she gets married next year.  He and his wife use to travel a lot, but between a stressful job and uncontrolled pain he frets having to do a lot of walking during vacays.  His doctor tells him he has to increase his activity or he would be a candidate for a heart attack.
