Executive Director Ted Duncan

At 50 I retired from teaching in the computer industry. Now, at 66 I realize that fat and stress will kill or disable me before my time. I took on the responsibility of Executive Director of the Melrose Way to force a change in my eating habits and lifestyle. You will find me sitting in on many activities. I intend to change my life and make a difference in the lives of others.

I lean to new age beliefs, read science fiction, prefer classical music, old masters paintings and conversations in out of the way coffee houses. I am easily flustered, plan lots of free time, think sports are a fine substitute for war, don't mind if you get to the top of the mountain before me and believe puppies are love. After being single for over 20 years, I remarried in 2006. Smart move.

My mantra is that "I am healthy, wealthy, wise, powerful and happy."

• I realize that I can improve my health. I intend to:
• Eat naturally.
• Reduce stress.
• Change my belief system about food to minimize the chance of backsliding.
  
  If this is your goal I urge you to come enjoy the Melrose Way.

“Do the week long Melrose Way program. The instructors are amazingly knowledgable. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We could have taken a week’s vacation and spent much more money on hotel and food. But we would not have learned what we now know. Thank you, Melrose Way. You have changed our lives.”
