An interview with Dr. Kristin Szuhany, Assistant Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.But we do know that exercise can help us improve our mood in the moment, right? So if we're kind of paying attention to it, then we can notice that we feel better, we feel less stressed or anxious, we feel more energized, and that satisfies that little rat in our brain, and can help motivate people to exercise today, but also tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and then get all those great physical benefits down the road as well.Dr. Kristin SzuhanyConnecting movement and mental healthThe immediate rewards of exerciseOvercoming barriers to exercise for people with mental health conditionsMaking movement enjoyableBarriers and facilitators to mental health providers prescribing physical activityBarriers and facilitators to patients following through on physical activityMessaging the immediate health benefits of movementCross-sector collaboration to make physical activity a standard of carehttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

An interview with Dr. Rebecca Puhl, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Connecticut.  [S]ince I started in this field, which was 25 years ago, we have seen significant progress with awareness and education and strategies to reduce weight stigma. But, you know, progress is slow, and what we are ultimately trying to do here is to shift societal attitudes that are strongly ingrained in our culture about body weight, and to eliminate a form of social stigma.Dr. Rebecca PuhlProgress in addressing weight stigmaWeight stigma in healthcare settingsWeight stigma in health & fitness settingsVisual images of people with diverse body sizesReducing weight stigmaFactors that reinforce weight stigmaConstructive responsibility frameworkMotivation for studying weight stigmaCall to actionhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMorehttps://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html

An interview with Kathleen Ferguson, Founder of Coach360. That is really the problem that Coach360 is aiming to address, is how do we keep health and fitness professionals working and doing what they do best, which is being that guide on millions of consumers' health and fitness journey.

An interview with Dr. Heather McKee, health behavior change consultant. And that's where I get a little bit frustrated with the tech industry, because at the moment, it feels like a lot of it is focused on tracking metrics and outcomes, and we know that information doesn't equal implementation, and data on its own does not drive behavior, and what matters most is what that data means to the person. And so we need to kind of make that shift from just measurement to meaning.Dr. Heather McKeeSupporting people with consistent healthy behaviorsThe secret sauce for health behavior changeWhat the fitness industry gets right and wrong about health behavior changeShifting from measurement to meaning in keeping people movingMaking data actionableBarriers and facilitators to motivationFuture of the health & fitness sectorhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

An interview with Ken Griffin, CEO of AUSactive.It's not often that the healthcare system actually has someone putting up its hand and going, hey, we've got not just a solution, but we've actually got a sustainable population-wide solution. And that we can bring to the table here, because there are very few levers that the health system can pull in a heavily regulated, highly costly environment that is constrained by so many different things, whether it's workforce, whether it's funding, whether it's regulatory structures. There are so many things that hold the health system back, and we're here, but we're in its blind spot, literally, we're just out of view.Ken GriffinAn outsider’s perspective on the health & fitness industryUnderstanding the language of healthcarePresenting the industry value proposition to consumers and healthcareBuilding trust and confidence through accreditationInnovating in healthcare and fitness integration https://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

An interview with Dr. Michelle Segar, Behavioral Scientist and Health Coach.And then what happens is that when people don't do their full plan and they choose not to do the something instead of nothing, they feel like failures, and oftentimes it only takes one miss to go, Ah, I'm done. I'm just, I'm not athletic enough, I'm not disciplined enough. And it absolutely derails the whole, the whole plan and routine. And that's the opposite of what we need to create a more physically active society.Dr. Michelle SegarDefining all-or-nothing thinkingPrevalence of all-or-nothing thinking in the fitness industryPublic health impact of all-or-nothing thinkingRigid criteria as the foundation of all-or-nothing thinkingReal-world impact of all-or-nothing thinkingTargeting “unsuccessful intenders”Explaining Quitter’s Day https://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

An interview with Julia Hotz, journalist and author.What I think I was trying to do with the book is show, not tell.  And show the art therapist who's been doing this for 50 years, to show the doctor who's really passionate about taking his patients out in nature, who's been doing this for a decade.  You're all doing social prescribing.  If you are engaging in some kind of work that is connecting your patients, your clients, the community you serve, to other opportunities in that community as a way to improve their health, I think that's social prescribing.Julia HotzDefining social prescribingConnecting people to community-based activities that improve their healthSocial prescribing incentivesThe role of trust in social prescribingOvercoming barriers to uptake and adherenceAddressing health needs and wantsSocial Prescribing USACall to action for World Social Prescribing Day https://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore 

An interview with Alantheus Thompson, Founder and CEO, Groe Solutions.So the members benefit from having that layer of accountability if they are working with a trainer. And if not just more broadly, the gyms, being able to know what they're doing and when they are going to get a new piece of equipment that aligns with them, or they're going to implement a new training program instead of getting them bombarded with a marketing campaign that doesn't apply to them, you can get really specific, and you're more likely to get aligned to the people that you care about.Alantheus ThompsonGroe Solutions origin storyAddressing club operator pain pointsValue for club operators, fitness professionals and membersBoosting member retention with adherence, accountability and communityGroe Solutions’ ultimate visionUsing verified activity to expand accessibilityTracking adherence and progression dataReturn on investment for fitness programmingEntrepreneurship in the fitness industrySolving the member retention problemSupporting behavior change Increasing accessibility with technologyhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore 

An interview with Devin Lebrun and Katrina Maniec, Global Breath Network.And so we're looking to combine with the exercise as medicine movement, add breath to the conversation, because we know how much it impacts someone's ability to exercise, to get off the couch if they're leading a sedentary life, to get back to moving if something in midlife kind of shut them down or closed them out.Devin LebrunMy goal is to bring, is to have breath work or breath training be paid for by insurance companies.
