Show Topic: Environmental Influences on Habits
Romy Nelson is a registered dietetic technician and personal trainer, and this show is about helping people find their path to health and fitness. She specializes in corporate wellness programs to help businesses keep their employees healthy, which helps improves workplace morale and productivity.
In this episode, Romy and Michael talk about a 2007 study that say that the odds of becoming overweight increase when your friends start becoming overweight, and some of the reasons that might influence that pattern.
Romy also reveals how she incorporates socializing with her friends and working out at the gym, and how surrounding yourself with people who reflect the lifestyle you want to live will help support and encourage the changes you want to make.
They also talk about portion control, caloric density, dieting vs lifestyle changes, grilling during the hot Arizona summer months, and more.
