Research Lab: Lifestyle Redesign for Chronic Conditions
Year of Entry: 2022
My research interests revolve around the intersection of obesity, physical activity, eating habits, and the influence of challenging circumstances shaped by social structures and institutional norms. I am particularly driven to investigate how individuals from marginalized communities navigate these circumstances, exploring their capacity to engage in physical activity and maintain healthy eating habits. While my primary focus is on promoting a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and proper nutrition, I also acknowledge the broader range of activities that contribute to health management and prevention, particularly among individuals with chronic conditions.
Through the study of health-related occupations, their intersections, and connections, my aspiration is to make a meaningful impact and promote positive change.
One day, I hope to develop effective interventions and strategies that improve health outcomes for individuals facing various challenges, working towards achieving greater health equity. Additionally, I am deeply committed to addressing health equity concerns and ensuring the practical applicability of research findings and interventions in real-world settings. It is essential to me that research goes beyond theoretical knowledge and actively contributes to enhancing the lives of individuals affected by social circumstances.
