We all know that to be healthy, we should eat well, exercise more, manage our stress, and get better sleep, but most of us don’t know how to achieve these goals. The solution lies in the concept of behavior change, which yields positive outcomes that directly impact our health and can prevent chronic conditions. Lauren Turner speaks with Christine May ahead of the new year to share the latest research into how we view personal health goals from weight management to mental wellness and stress reduction, what barriers may be stopping us from being able to achieve them, and how behavior change can help.
