The holiday season is one of the most special times of the year, ALLOWING FOR good times with family and friends, with lots of delicious food. HOWEVER, FOR THOSE WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT OR LIVING WITH OBESITY, THERE'S A NEED TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL IN STICKING TO THEIR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES, AND IN MANY CASES, ANTI-OBESITY DRUG SCHEDULES.

Weight-Management Expert, DR. ANTHONY AURIEMMA joins us now with, ONE OF HIS PATIENTS, FAITH, TO EXPLAIN WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A GOOD PLAN IN PLACE SO YOU CAN ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS, WITHOUT MISSING OUT ON THE FUN.

It's no secret that Americans value their family time. A recent Pew Research report revealed that 73% of people ranked spending time with their families as "one of the most important things" in life. A close second priority for 74% of those surveyed: "being physically active."

What if, this holiday season, you gave the family a fun way to spend time together WHILE being physically active? That's the question being posed by former professional dancer and hit cookbook author Dean Sheremet in this upcoming interview opportunity that combines suggestions for healthy family fun with a holiday gift idea that everyone can feel good about.

The science is clear: Dancing is really, really good for you, no matter where you fall in the family tree. With health benefits ranging from better agility and coordination to enhanced cardiovascular health and reduced risk of osteoporosis, dance is an efficient and effective workout. It's known to improve mood, boost brain power and may even reduce dementia risk – and most of the time it doesn't even feel like exercise!

A father himself, Dean is a huge fan of maximizing family time off the sofa, and he's ready to share some tips with your audience about how to incorporate dance fitness into your family's routine this season and throughout the New Year. Book your interview now to inspire your viewers to level up their family time with a discussion about:

• Setting a good example: Dancing and playing together starts when everyone is off the couch
• Is it a workout or is it a game? How Just Dance 2025 checks all the boxes
