What if the secret to lasting wellbeing isn't discipline, guilt, or fear—but pleasure? In this episode of Musings on Wellbeing, host Charlie Bresler explores how joy, purpose, and connection can be more powerful motivators for healthy behavior than the traditional messages of restriction and willpower. 

Joining the conversation is Dr. Sarah Matyko, Vice President of Well Being Strategy at Premise Health and Sonic Boom Wellness. With deep expertise in workplace wellness and behavior change, Dr. Matyko sheds light on how societal structures shape our health habits—poorly— and how we can shift our focus toward what truly matters. 

In this episode, you'll discover key insights into the science of wellbeing, including the power of strength training as we age, the role of social connection in longevity, and how we can learn to find joy in behaviors we now regard as burdens.

Take the first step toward redefining your approach to well-being. Don't forget to subscribe to Musings on Wellbeing for more insightful discussions, share this episode with friends who could use a fresh perspective on health, and leave a review to let us know what resonated with you!
