Her ultimate research goal is to understand, promote and instill a healthy lifestyle for people during every stage of life.

Of  French descent, Dr. Hausenblas has spent time in southern France and has repeatedly noticed some striking differences in the French lifestyle to that of most of the Western world; the French take time for life, friends and family - often gathered around a ‘dining table’ with a fine glass of red wine. Many meals end with a ‘constitutional stroll,’ and, in fact, exercise clubs and gyms are practically unheard of, yet the French are among the healthiest people - suffering little from heart disease and symptoms commonly associated with their fat-rich diet. Her goal is to bring the best of France to the American public and help them to improve their health by supporting the lifestyle improvements of increased social support, a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
