The Whole Wheel — Twelve Steps of Lifestyle Medicine

The Problem

"Most of us have one part of life well covered and have quietly let the rest go. A wheel with one flat spot rolls badly however high the total. This course is not about doing more of everything; it is about finding the one step that is holding the others back, and taking that one."

The right fit

Designed for For working adults taking stock of how they actually live, and anyone who has tried to change a health habit before and wants a method.

Twelve steps of lifestyle medicine, from a framework built by physicians Beth Frates, Michelle Tollefson and Amy Comander: physical activity, attitude, variety, investigation, nutrition, goals, stress resilience, time-outs, energy, purpose, sleep and social support. You begin by taking the Wheel, sixty statements across all twelve steps, and read its shape rather than its total. Then you work the step that came back thinnest, one at a time, and end by taking the Wheel again and choosing the step you carry forward.
