Episode 12
Why is it so hard to stay consistent with healthy habits—even when we know what’s good for us? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating science of habit formation and uncover the mechanisms that drive our daily behaviours and habits.
In this episode:
- The three stages of the habit loop (repetition → cue → reward) and how to use it to your advantage for behaviour change.
- Why willpower alone doesn’t work—and what to rely on instead.
- How small, consistent changes can rewire your brain for long-term success.
- The science-backed tactics that make new habits stick and old ones fade.
Whether your goal is to eat healthier, exercise more, sleep better, or simply feel more energized, this episode gives you the tools to move from intention to lasting action.
If you’ve ever set a goal and struggled to follow through, this conversation will help you understand why—and more importantly, how to finally make your health goals stick.
