Wouldn’t you like to end 2018 healthier and in better shape than you started the year? Sure, we all would. We know we need to eat right and exercise, and we often start a new year with plans to do just that. Too often, however, those aspirations quickly fade away. It doesn’t matter how good your wellness plan is if you don’t stick to it. Julian Maddox, Phoebe Wellness Account Executive has some advice to help you see real results.
