224: Red Flags Of Weight Loss Research with Jon Robison

This week on the show, Chris chats with Jon Robison.



Dr Jon Robison holds a doctorate in health education/exercise physiology and a master of science in human nutrition from Michigan State University. He specializes in health promotion and human behaviour, with a particular interest in why people do what they do and don’t do what they don’t do. His presentations and workshops promote shifting health promotion away from its traditional, biomedical, control-oriented focus. Jon has also served as co-editor of the journal Health At Every Size.



We talk about Jon's article on the 8 red flags of weight loss research. We talk about complexity, wicked problems, the social determinants of health, intrinsic motivation, and intrinsic coaching. And we chat about some of the things he is doing over at his company Salveo Partners – from writing books to doing trainings.
