Let’s be real, “New year, new you” quick fixes don’t work. True health starts at the cellular level: your hormones, your unique body composition, and your personal health profile. As we step into a new year, unmarked by the habits or tendencies of last year, we’re all eager to start on the right foot. We want to eat well, rest deeply, connect with those we love, chase big dreams, and find balance. Last year, we introduced Philosophy MD’s Longevity Medicine Program with all of these facets in mind; improving your global health and well being for a life that’s vital and fulfilling. 

What science reveals about the resolutions we actually keep

Willpower isn’t the key to keeping our 2026 resolutions; success lies more in the strategies we employ, and the tools we use. Our Longevity Program is built with a deep understanding of how true change is implemented and what our bodies need.

Framing your goals begins by understanding your body’s cues and taking actionable steps

A landmark study found that approach-oriented goals lead to 59% success rates, compared to just 47% for avoidance-oriented goals. For example: people who say “I’m going to take a 15-minute walk every day” dramatically outperform those who say “I need to lose weight.” Studies like this show that approach-oriented goals give you something to move toward, while avoidance goals are shaped around what you don’t want (sleepless nights, hormonal imbalance, unhealthy weight gain, a lack of energy). Our Longevity Program helps you identify what your body actually needs to thrive and what core components you might be missing; whether that’s optimizing hormones, addressing risk factors, or building physical strength; to set goals that are unique and meaningful to you. 

Support systems and professional guidance could be the key you need to unlock Longevity

When this same study tracked these 1,000 people over a year, they revealed that those who received structured support were significantly more successful than those who didn’t have a mentor, medical professional, or friend helping support, guide their journey, or keep them accountable. In the end, 55% of people with professional guidance maintained their resolutions, compared to a single-digit success rate for most of the self-directed resolvers. With Philosophy MD’s Longevity Medicine Programs, support takes on many forms depending on your needs and goals. It may include your regular physician follow-ups, a personalized instructional roadmap, focussed consultations, or social accountability through mentors, family, or committed friends. Every one of these elements proves crucial to making and keeping healthy goals.
