Building high-functioning, happy and healthy organizations starts with giving people the tools and resources they need to be great at anything. That’s why ADURO designs Human Performance experiences that empower individuals to create positive habits and help organizations create a culture of well-being.
Revive — our 16-week diabetes prevention program — helps achieve both of those goals.
More than 115 million Americans have either diabetes or prediabetes, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures show. That leads to an estimated $245 billion each year in medical spending, lost productivity and lost wages. Up to 70% of those with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes without intervention, and most don’t even realize they are at risk.
The best way to stop this trend? Group-based intensive lifestyle-change programs facilitated by health coaches, according to data from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Research Group. That’s where Revive comes in.
Creating transformational change
Revive focuses on education, diet and physical activity to help participants prevent diabetes. Through designated coaches, health content, group sessions, peer support, intrinsic motivation and recognition, the program gives employees the tools, resources and motivation to make transformational changes to their lives.
The impact is undeniable. More than 700 participants have been accepted into Revive to date, and on average, those who complete the program lose almost 14 pounds and nearly 2 inches off their waist size. The majority reached the program’s 5% weight-loss goal — and one of our very enthusiastic participants lost 31% of their body weight. That’s 65 pounds in 16 weeks!
“I am feeling so much better. It may sound silly, but I am starting to feel like a sporty girl again. I like this feeling of more confidence physically and I do not want it to go away!”

Although most Revive participants achieve significant weight loss, it is more than a weight-loss program. Revive also has been shown to reduce other risk factors and even reverse prediabetes and metabolic syndrome in some participants.
The financial effects are just as impressive: Successful Revive participants save an average of $2,100 on annual medical costs.
A comprehensive program
Over the course of 16 weeks, Revive participants receive personalized coaching and take part in webinars such as “Fat-Burning vs. Sugar-Burning,” “Resilience,” “Dining Out” and “Habits and Behaviors.” Although the program is tailored for people with pre-diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome, its overall goal is to improve overall health by promoting a return to a more natural lifestyle.
And when Revive ends, the support for participants continues — unlimited post-program coaching is available to help them reach their health goals.
"I signed up for the Revive program through ADURO as part of our benefits program. I just completed the 16-week program and it was terrific! I lost 26.1 pounds, and learned so much about nutrition that I didn’t know before.”

It’s exciting to see the positive transformations that Revive participants achieve, but perhaps even more important is the fact that these changes are sustainable. Revive is an important step on the road to improved Human Performance — as well as a stronger culture of well-being.
