HABITS OF HEALTHY SURROUNDINGS

The people, places, and things you surround yourself with can enhance or diminish the success of your other Habits of Health.

Our system teaches you how to build a “health bubble” that will help you take control of your personal environment and create conditions that support long-term health. This will be particularly important in helping you establish support systems that work best for you, whether that’s a friend, a group of friends, a coach, or a whole community of people.
