What if you could easily and joyfully resolve the in-the-moment conflicts that often derail your eating and exercise goals? Much of what we’re taught about creating change in eating and exercise is simplistic, outdated, and for many of us, misguided. In this provocative, science-driven webinar, sustainable-behavior-change researcher and health coach Michelle Segar, Ph.D., MPH, MS, explains why popular conventions, like habit formation, can’t work for most people when it comes to changing complex healthy behaviors. Instead, Michelle contends that many of us need to rethink our behavior change strategies. You will learn how to turn outdated behavior changes on its head to reveal a flexible, fun, and brain-based approach to creating changes in eating, exercise, and self-care that finally have the potential to stick.
