“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing,” said Abraham Lincoln in a letter to Isham Reavis dated Nov. 5, 1855.
Health and well-being hold high importance for many people, and the approach of the holiday season and the following new year often leaves them wondering about what changes, or resolutions, they might want to implement to improve their lives – and how to make them.
In the latest episode of The UC Irvine Podcast, we’re leaning on the wisdom of a pair of people who’ve committed their careers to providing guidance on all those topics: Matthew Landry, assistant professor of population health and disease prevention in UC Irvine’s Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health, and Theresa Nutt, administrative director of education at UC Irvine’s Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute.
Landry’s research interests include identifying the optimal diet for chronic disease prevention, and Nutt is a registered and holistic nurse who has also been a health and wellness coach since 2003. In this podcast, they team up to discuss why it’s hard to stick to our diets during the holidays and share tips on how to avoid overindulging. In addition, they’ll address prioritizing activities that benefit physical fitness and how to reframe thoughts around resolutions to encourage better success.
