This new year, look beyond diet and exercise and add health goals to your resolution list. AMA member physicians share health-related resolutions to add.
Dec 17, 2025
For many people, New Year’s resolutions start and end with the usual suspects: eat better, exercise more, lose weight. But some of the most powerful changes you can make for your health rarely show up on that Jan. 1 checklist.
From addressing your hearing and vision to improving sleep, social connection and even how you use technology, there are health habits that can shape your well-being just as much as a new gym routine. They may not come with step counters or before-and-after photos, but they can affect how you feel, think and function.
The loudest wellness trends on the internet—answered with science.
Here is a list from the AMA’s What Doctors Want Patients to Know™ series—which gives physicians a platform to share what they want patients to understand about today’s health care headlines and how to take charge of their health through preventive care—on some health areas patients should focus on for their New Year’s resolutions.
The list features advice from physicians at organizations that are part of the AMA Health System Member Program, which provides enterprise solutions to equip leadership, physicians and care teams with resources to help drive the future of medicine.
AMA membership offers unique access to savings and resources tailored to enrich the personal and professional lives of physicians, residents and medical students.
Rounding out your list with more familiar goals still matters too. Healthy eating and regular physical activity remain cornerstones of preventing chronic disease and feeling your best. The key is to think of your resolutions as a whole-health checklist, one that includes nutrition and movement, but also sleep, mental health, relationships and all the other “quiet” habits that can make the new year genuinely healthier, not just busier.

Additionally, with so many fad diets, it can be hard to navigate what to eat and what to avoid. But it is important to take steps to include healthy eating in your day-to-day life. Three physicians—including an internist from Geisinger—offer advice on healthful eating.
While healthy eating and physical activity remain fundamental pillars in weight management, there are instances when additional support becomes necessary, such as anti-obesity medications. Two obesity medicine physicians share more about GLP-1 agonists for type 2 diabetes and weight management.
