#176 | Why “Find Your Why” Isn’t Working For Better Autoimmune Health Habits—And The Science-Backed Exercise To Try Instead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the reason your “why” isn’t working…is because you’re asking the wrong kind of why?
You do want to feel better, have more energy, and make healthier choices—but when it’s 6:00 AM and the alarm goes off (or it’s 5:30 PM and you’re exhausted), the usual “because I should” or “for my health” why often isn’t strong enough to pull you through. This episode shows you how to uncover a why that actually creates desire, not just guilt or willpower—so the hard thing feels easier to do today, not someday.
- Learn why common “whys” (like “for my health” or “for my family”) often fail in the exact moments you need them most
- Use the “Why x5” exercise to dig past surface-level motivation and find the reason that truly compels you to follow through
- Build real momentum by identifying the why that makes uncomfortable habit change feel worth it—especially with autoimmune health goal
Press play to do the simple “Why x5” coaching exercise and walk away with a motivating, personal why you can actually rely on when it counts.

This podcast explores health and wellness through the lens of autoimmune disease—multiple sclerosis (MS) and others—diving into how challenges like fatigue, brain fog, flares, and other symptoms related to the nervous system, inflammation, and mitochondria can be supported by healthy habits in food, movement, sleep, and rest, while fostering consistency, effective self-care, and a resilient mindset. If you’ve read the bestseller Atomic Habits by James Clear and still don’t have the healthy habits you want, this show is for you. Adjacent to functional medicine, holistic health, the AIP diet, and the Wahls Protocol, the podcast offers guidance from a health and wellness coach to help those navigating chronic illness feel better and thrive.
