Getting in shape fast sounds too good to be true, because it is. Rapid weight-loss endeavors such as fad or exclusionary diets, GLP-1 medication, or most trends seen on social media may give you results for now, but you will most likely gain that weight right back as soon as you stop the medication, diet, or trend. If you truly want to lead a healthy, happy, physically-functional life, you need to create behavior changes that will actually last a lifetime. Dr. Rhea sits down with fellow colleague and researcher, Dr. Ryan Porter, to discuss the importance of behavior change prior to any long-term health success can happen.Dr. Porter holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Brigham Young University - Idaho and a master’s in Health and Human Movement from Utah State University. He completed his doctorate in exercise science at the University of South Carolina and post-doctoral training at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville. His research interests are in the areas of adaptation of lipoprotein subfractions in response to exercise and lifestyle behavior change (physical activity and healthy eating) and their effects on community health in terms of biological markers, physiological outcomes and behavior change.Resources mentioned in this episode:Exercise is Medicine Greenville
