Dive into this review of the flood of information, sometimes conflicting, around nutrition and physical activity. Each participant will take responsibility for a dynamic investigation of a popular element for each category. You will become our team expert in that category as we learn effective, research validated techniques for sharing the information in ways that effect behavioral outcomes. You will discover elements of Motivational Interviewing, the behavioral coaching technique developed by William Miller.
