Understanding the science behind nutrition, physical activity, and other health behaviors in one thing. Actually changing these behaviors, for ourselves or our patients, is quite another. In this special episode of the Gaining Health podcast, we want to recognize and celebrate Mental Health awareness month with an episode dedicated to behavioral health. Host Karli Burridge interviews Linda Carlson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Motivational Manager at Revolution Physical Therapy and Weight Loss. They discuss common challenges and strategies for helping patients with complex behavior change and building new habits. Linda is a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and is the Motivational Manager at Revolution Physical Therapy and Weight Loss.She graduated with a bachelor’s in social work from the University of Southern Mississippi, did her internship with Forrest County Public Health Department as an Epidemiology Social Worker and received her Master’s in Social Work from NYU's Clinical Social Work program with a focus on public health policy.She has been working with Revolution since 2019 as an individual therapist focused on habit building and behavior change to assist people with their health and wellness goals.Check out Revolution Physical Therapy and Weight Loss Support the showThe Gaining Health Podcast will release a new episode every Wednesday, alternating between interviews with experts and "What's Up Wednesday" scientific updates.For a roadmap for developing an obesity program, editable forms and templates, patient education materials, and more, check out Gaining Health If you are loving this podcast, please consider supporting us on Patreon
