Dr. Mauricio Acevedo and Wife Visit St. Maarten to Promote Health Education and Lifestyle Change

St. Maarten – July 2025 – SXM Padel Club, with the generous support of the St. Maarten Timeshare Association, Oyster Bay Beach Resort, Nagico, and Simpson Bay Resort, is proud to welcome renowned metabolic health expert Dr. Mauricio Acevedo and his wife to St. Maarten for a series of community-focused health talks.

These informative sessions, modeled in a dynamic TED Talk-style format, are being held in collaboration with the Diabetes Foundation of St. Maarten, whose dedicated volunteers have been offering free blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol testing to participants.

So far, Dr. Acevedo has spoken to a group of over 90 senior citizens, as well as employees of Simpson Bay Resort and Oyster Bay Beach Resort, with more sessions planned throughout the week. His engaging talks aim to educate, inspire, and empower individuals to adopt healthier eating habits, with the goal of reversing or managing diabetes, high blood pressure, and other chronic conditions linked to poor nutrition and obesity.

This Friday at 6:00 PM, the SXM Padel Club will host an open community chat with Dr. Acevedo at its Belair facility, inviting the public to join the conversation and take a proactive step towards better health.

As part of their ongoing support, Oyster Bay Beach Resort is hosting Dr. Acevedo during his stay and has also made a contribution to the Diabetes Foundation of St. Maarten in recognition of their impactful volunteer work. Hopefully, this will also encourage other organizations to donate towards the Foundation so they can continue their amazing—and unfortunately, badly needed—community work.

Ricardo Perez, General Manager of Oyster Bay Beach Resort and a patient of Dr. Acevedo through his telemedicine platform, shared:

"As someone who has personally experienced remarkable health improvements by changing my eating habits, I can attest to the power of Dr. Acevedo’s guidance. His teachings are transformative."

Dr. Acevedo expressed his gratitude, saying:

"I am humbled to have been invited to this beautiful island and to be given the opportunity to share knowledge that I hope will improve and transform lives. I am already looking forward to many future visits."

This initiative marks the beginning of what is hoped to become a long-term collaboration between Dr. Acevedo, local organizations, and the people of St. Maarten in the ongoing fight against preventable chronic disease through education and lifestyle change.

WARNING PADEL TENNIS CAN BE ADDICTIVE 

PADEL TENNIS addiction can happen to anyone from any walk of life. Your playing goes from a fun, harmless diversion to an obsession with serious positive health consequences. Padel tennis can affect your relationships, interfere with work, and lead to more time on the court.  You may even do things you never thought you would, like playing multiple times on the same day or invite total strangers to play.  You may even show up to SXM PADEL Club for no apparent reason.  You may even find yourself waking up at 5 am for a 6am match/lesson or playing up late hours of the night.

If you recognize any of these symptoms or know somebody with signs of Padel Tennis addiction (aka Padelitis Forte)  we can help you at SXM Padel Club.  If you don’t know what we are talking about you for sure you are missing out.
