Incremental Achievements Yield Significant Behavioral Change

At Healthrageous, we've built our philosophy around this very concept. We won’t promise overnight transformations, we're here to guide patients on a journey of incremental change, one that leads to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Consider life as a book of chapters, a game with four quarters, a meal with many courses. It's not about who takes the lead in the Kentucky Derby, but who crosses the finish line. Similarly, the journey to health isn't about drastic changes but about integrating small, beneficial habits into daily life

At 29, I ran a marathon in under three hours.  To achieve that milestone, I started with smaller goals.  I was at the U of Washington in a graduate program for health policy.  The Burke Gilman Trail was right near my apartment.  First two miles, then five.  By the time the Seattle Marathon rolled around, I was pounding the pavement for 120 miles a week.  I still average 10 miles a day of movement, over forty years later.  Incremental change can create lasting effects.

Researchers at San Diego’s International Airport found that simply placing signs encouraging “use the stairs” doubled the number of people climbing stairs over riding escalators. This wasn't about shaming escalator riders, but rather, it was about nudging people to reengage with their values and goals – to exercise more, to stay active.

This is the essence of Healthrageous. Our intuitive digital messaging—part of our comprehensive meal kits and app experience—serves as a personalized nudge towards healthier habits. Whether it's a reminder to drink more water, get to bed earlier, or move your body, we're more than meal kits. Our aspiration is to lead a guided journey toward better health.

But let's be clear, we're not just about nudges. We're about celebrating victories, no matter how small. Met your goal of using the stairs instead of the elevator? Fantastic! Now, let's set a new goal. This cycle of setting, meeting, and resetting goals is the heartbeat of achieving healthy goals. And that’s the heartbeat of Healthrageous. It's how we help you live an inspired and rewarding life, one small change at a time.

So, why should health plans care about all this? Simple: healthier members mean higher satisfaction, lower costs, and an incremental movement toward the goal. Healthrageous isn't just a product; it's a partnership, a commitment to helping your members live their best lives.
