Throughout our STRIVE 2 Survive wellness program and many of our blog posts, you will find us discussing the importance of having a support system -aka- ‘a buddy’! Dr. Dan’s dog’s name is Buddy…and is literally his running and biking buddy. I rely on my family and close friends to keep me motivated to stay on track with my wellness goals. Your buddy could be your pet, spouse, friend, co-worker, sister/brother, etc. Whoever it is, ask for their support in your wellness efforts! Those that have a support system are often times more successful with their goals.
