USU researchers explore psychology of healthy living

When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, we often think first about diet and exercise. But a researcher at Utah State University is looking at the psychological aspects of healthy living and exploring the mental barriers that keep people from living the way they want.

Richards is recruiting volunteers to take part in a group study aimed at helping young people make healthy lifestyle choices. Here’s part of our conversation.
