Setting Healthy Goals for 2022: A Conversation

Gainful Registered Dietitian Mary Albus had the pleasure of speaking to Osteopathic Senior Dr. Jaclyn Tolentino of Parsley Health on setting healthy and achievable goals in 2022.

Setting goals the beginning of the year is certainly not unheard of, but learning how to sustain that path towards achieving those goals is a common struggle. Practicing patience, setting realistic expectations for ourselves, and finding consistency in your routine will better set you on that path towards progress and achievement. Watch this short segment to learn more.

Dr. Jaclyn and Mary point out that setting a number of goals outside of scale weight creates a more well-rounded view of your health, and initiates a perspective shift. Not reaching your weight loss goal or running into a weight plateau can be discouraging. In these moments, it's crucial to take a step back and reassess your goals that are outside of the numbers on the scale. 

Setting goals for yourself such as staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, or managing stress levels will play a huge role in your overall wellness. Another important factor to consider in your health journey is your hormones. Hormones are a vital part of every function of the body, so maintaining proper hormone balance can be a big contributor to achieving your overall health goals. Learn more about addressing hormone health.

We learned from Dr. Jaclyn and Mary that changes take place over time, and it's important to look at the larger picture when it comes to achieving your health goals. Ready to start your Gainful journey?
