Podcast Episode 079: W.I.S.E. Choices: Weight Improvement, Satisfaction & Energy – Dr. James O. Hill

“We are pretty good at losing weight, but not so great at keeping it off. Weight loss maintenance requires sustained behavior change – but how do we achieve that? Transformative weight management is the key to sustainable behavior change and it’s the biggest game changer I’ve seen in 35 years of working in this field. When you align the life you want to live with your life purpose and values, you have a very powerful internal motivation – not to stay on a diet, but to keep living a healthier lifestyle – Dr. Jim Hill”
