In spite of this finding, however, almost half (41%) of survey participants admitted to allowing their healthy self-care habits to dissipate in the last year. 

These numbers point to a growing need among consumers for products and services that meet their self-care needs and make healthy habit creation simpler and more effective. Long-term wellbeing depends on continuity of self-care instead of temporary fixes, making the community that direct selling can provide a powerful benefit for consumers looking for support and accountability. 

“We are living in a world where the quest for optimal health and wellbeing is often a difficult, solitary and overwhelming journey for most people,” said Dan Chard, Medifast Chairman and CEO. “Lack of time coupled with an abundance of information and products that promise quick fixes adds to the challenges of getting healthy. These findings reaffirm consumers’ desire to achieve optimal health and wellbeing and highlight their need for simple yet effective approaches that allow them to create daily habits–from incorporating more movement to getting quality sleep.”
