Today, I completed training with Lifestyle Connect as part of my voluntary role as a Health Champion with Telford & Wrekin Council, and I wanted to share a brief overview of what I learned. The training focused on a concept called Making Every Contact Count (MECC), which aims to raise awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and encouraging others to make positive changes, but only if they want to. MECC is about having short, natural conversations about health and well-being in everyday life. The training taught us a simple structure called Ask, Advise, and Assist (AAA) to guide these conversations. In terms of advising, we were encouraged to share key facts, information, and the support available for those who want to make healthy lifestyle changes. For example, we discussed topics such as healthy eating, physical activity, quitting smoking, alcohol consumption, and mental well-being. The training emphasised the importance of not forcing or telling people what to do, but instead offering advice or assistance if they ask for it. As we know, people have to want to make changes for themselves, so instead of being forceful, it's about offering support and helping them make their own decisions and take their own steps towards positive change and a healthy lifestyle. Telford offers a wide range of support and services that can be accessed through the Healthy Lifestyles Hub on the council website. I found the training to be incredibly valuable, and the key takeaway for me is to at least make people aware of the support, even if we don't take any further action. They might one day, but at least if they do, they will know they aren't alone and support is available.

Thanks for sharing Henry Whicheloe. it is great to see focused partners work across the growing ecosystem like Humanity, especially as the data science and clinical evidence develops further around the longevity topic. Today we see many focused tools, like specialized age calculators, that are really helping in many ways including enabling individuals to understand their data and use it to support behavioral change. The toughest part of change is often ourselves and it is nice to be able to access the guidance with the right philosophy, coach, plan and tools to help make the personal decisions and take action. A key aim should be to help peole and communities better understand their data, which unlocks personalized medicine and behavioral shifts along a journey towards well being. This should include nurturing awareness about the impact created for self, community and system.
