Master the Force of Habit: Breakthrough Methods from NIH That Accelerate New Habits in Just 6 Days
This session is a recorded presentation from ACLM’s LM2024 Annual Conference, featuring leading experts and timely, clinically relevant content in lifestyle medicine.
There’s tremendous interest in translating clinically validated research into lasting healthy habits for lifestyle medicine and for good reason: According to the Centers for Disease Control, 97% of Americans have yet to master the four critical healthy habits which constitute a “healthy lifestyle”, causing 80% of chronic conditions. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has called this “the fundamental core of our healthcare crisis is our inability to master our own behavior.” The resulting individual and societal impacts are devastating. The incremental annual healthcare cost for a patient with Metabolic Syndrome, for example, whose resolution is highly dependent on creating lasting healthy habits, can be at least $3,000 each year. Considering roughly 40% of Americans currently suffer from M.S., the resultant healthcare utilization cost/burden for just the M.S. population in the U.S. is a staggering $408 BILLION each year!
Based on brand new, pre-publication clinical trial results funded by the NIH's first ever research grant in the field of habit coaching, this session shares exciting, new clinically validated techniques for creating daily healthy habits that remain automatic even after a year. Clinically developed and validated by licensed, certified, and published clinical psychologists and scientists from Harvard, Stanford Medical School, Yale, University of Washington, and TriHealth, these methods have been clinically proven to create new habits in as few as just 6 days and resolve 50% more cases of metabolic syndrome than traditional health coaching. Ultimately, increasing patient engagement in healthy habits drives ROI and the bottom-line for your lifestyle medicine initiatives. The McKinsey Global Research Institute’s independent research (2019) determined the ROI of these habit-formation methods to be 180%, compared to the average -50% for typical wellness programs (RAND, 2013). Empowering patients to create lasting healthy habits translates into unparalleled healthcare cost savings for patients, employers, providers, and payers alike.
