What Weight Watchers Can Teach Us About Health

I recently spoke with Workforce about what Weight Watchers can teach us about health and what employers need to learn in order to change employees' health behaviors.

“Behavior change is the biggest opportunity that we have, but also the biggest challenge. It’s such a juicy target, but people aren’t so easy to cajole. But I believe that, just because it’s hard, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t keep trying.”

We also chatted about visualizing health data, Flip the Clinic (more on that soon), Iodine, and my role as Entrepreneur in Residence at RWJF. 

Thanks to Workforce's Rita Pyrillis for the in-depth profile.
