We live persistently unhealthy
We eat and drink too much unhealthy food. We move too little. We smoke daily, drink alcohol excessively, and regularly use drugs.
Due to a persistently unhealthy lifestyle our metabolism derails until it gets sick, resulting in lifestyle
diseases.
What drives us to such a persistently unhealthy lifestyle?
Our destructive driver dopamine
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in our brain that stimulates needs such as:
- the need to eat and snack more
- the strong need for more smoking and more alcohol
- the radical need for more drugs
Dopamine, the molecule of more.
Preventing lifestyle diseases

Lifestyle screening
With the lifestyle screening you assess how well you adhere to the daily dos and don'ts.
During the annual screening consultation, you also do a lifestyle screening with your coach, which you assess together.

At the end of a lifestyle screening the Smart Living app offers poorly scoring daily don'ts for a 30-day challenge.
You can then choose one challenge to practice for 30 days for a good score.
Bodymarker screening

Every three years, the Smart Living app invites you to have blood drawn in the hospital laboratory for a biomarkers screening.
