The popular program, which delivers straightforward, science-backed tactics for improving health and wellbeing, has undergone a refresh for 2026—one that makes incorporating healthy lifestyle changes simpler, more sustainable, and more fun than ever.
By weaving together small, everyday actions—like taking the stairs, drinking more water, unplugging from screens, or adding new fruits and vegetables into your diet—small shifts have been shown to build better health outcomes. Each month, Pennington Biomedical’s Small Shifts campaign introduces a simple, unintimidating habit proven to help participants take charge of their health. When you join the free program, you’ll get monthly emails that guide you through building each small shift into your routine. These attainable action items are paired with fun community challenges and hands-on engagement, shaping a holistic community-wide shift in health and well-being. Everyone who signs up receives a free health journal packed with helpful resources, a habit tracker, a meal planner, tasty recipes, and has chances to win a variety of prizes to help you on your journey! Follow Pennington Biomedical’s social media channels to join interactive challenges, discover informative articles, and to share your Small Shifts experiences with others. Everyone who tags Pennington Biomedical on social media sharing their monthly Small Shift will have bonus chances to win monthly giveaway prizes, too!
