Dr. Supriya Rao and Dr. Naresh Gunaratnam interview Dr. Michelle Segar, a behavior-change scientist at the University of Michigan whose research focuses on helping people adopt and sustain healthy behaviors over the long term.
Dr. Segar discusses why traditional health advice so often fails to produce lasting change and how immediate rewards like stress relief, improved mood, and daily energy are more powerful motivators than distant outcomes like weight loss or disease prevention. She also offers clinicians practical guidance for conversations with patients who say they do not enjoy exercise or don’t have the time.
Join Dr. Gunaratnam, Dr. Rao, and Dr. Segar as they explore how reframing the way we think about healthy behavior can make lasting change possible and sustainable.
