Welcome to the new year! We’re glad you’re here and taking control of your health. There are resources for you to take the right steps all over the place.

This year we’re rolling out our 28-day challenge focused around your wellness journey. We’re ready to help you embrace a lifestyle of mindful choices, nourishing your mind and body. United wants to assist you in making realistic goals, prioritizing self-care, and cultivating positive habits.

These daily challenges include learning how to track progress, power up breakfast, boost fiber intake, and more. In addition, you will find activities, articles, quizzes, and a variety of other content to give you the tools you need for success.

“This 28-Day Challenge is all about giving guests an opportunity to get their 2024 wellness journey started on the right foot,” said Taylor Sutton, registered dietitian for The United Family. “When guests sign up, they can participate in daily challenges that help introduce and reinforce positive lifestyle habits. Each challenge they complete rewards them with entries for our grand prize of $500!”

Throughout the challenge, we’ll be on our social media channels with tips to help you focus your efforts on your health goals. While we have a plethora of things on our minds, we want to know what’s going through yours as well.

In the 28-day challenge, there is something new to focus on every day from grabbing your water bottle a few more times to cooking a new recipe to learning more about protein! We’ve got something for everyone and we think you might find a goal in here if you don’t already have one.

“So many of us have the desire to use the new year as a catalyst for positive change in our lives,” Sutton said. “And we know that knowing where or how to start can be difficult. We hope this 28-Day Challenge will connect guests with tools to start their wellness journey or help keep them on track with what they’ve already started.”
