Segment 4:

A 2018 survey conducted by NPR and The Marist Poll concluded that 44 percent of American adults will make a New Year's resolution. Many of those resolutions are health and fitness related. But studies also indicate that a significant number of those resolutions fail within four to six weeks. We talk to Dr. Josie Bidwell of our own Southern Remedy about how to make and maintain realistic resolutions.
