>The program focuses on mastering five key brain challenges:
  • Learning to highly value behaviors that promote wellness while devaluing behaviors that lead to poor health.
  • Enriching one's life to tame the need for immediate gratification.
  • Enhancing resiliency to threats and chronic stressors.
  • Training one's addiction circuits that respond to drugs as well as "comfort foods" to make healthful behaviors habitual.
