Wondr Health is a 100% digital weight management program that focuses on lifestyle behavior changes to meet the needs of our employees, especially those with on-the-go lifestyles and a 24/7 work environment. This program can be done anytime, anywhere.
Participants are guided through weekly lessons and encouraged to practice skills to increase physical activity, eat mindfully, manage weight, reduce stress, get more sleep, increase energy, and more. Watch lessons at the convenience of your computer, tablet or smartphone.
In addition to the weekly lessons, you will have access to tools to track your progress and find inspiration. Stay connected through WondrLinkTM, the online community where participants connect to share ideas, successes, and encouragement.
