Ingrained: The Science of Habits, Health, and Personal Development
Ingrained: The Science of Habits, Health, and Personal Development is a podcast about how small, repeated behaviors shape who you become—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Hosted by Bronson Wilks, an entrepreneur, consultant, and father who actively applies these principles in his own life, the show explores the science of habit formation, behavior change, and human development. Episodes draw from neuroscience, human biology, psychology, and longevity research, while grounding those insights in real-world routines, family life, work, and personal growth.
Each episode breaks down how habits influence energy, focus, health, performance, relationships, and long-term wellbeing—turning complex research into practical strategies you can apply immediately, even with a busy life.
Whether you’re focused on self-improvement, personal development, health optimization, or building a sustainable lifestyle that supports growth and balance, Ingrained bridges behavior and biology so your habits work for you, not against you.

In this episode, Habits, Relationships, and the Biology of Connection, we explore how daily relational habits shape your brain chemistry, nervous system regulation, and long-term health. Drawing on the research of John Gottman, Sue Johnson, and John Bowlby, we break down the science behind attachment, oxytocin, dopamine, cortisol, and the communication patterns that predict relationship success—or failure.
You’ll learn why contempt is the strongest predictor of divorce, how micro-habits like daily appreciation and physical touch regulate stress hormones, and why connection is one of the most powerful predictors of longevity and emotional well-being.
If you care about improving your marriage, deepening emotional intimacy, strengthening attachment security, or understanding the neuroscience of relationships, this episode gives you practical, science-backed tools to build connection that lasts.
Because the quality of your relationships doesn’t just shape your happiness—it shapes your biology.
