Hey friend - my name is Kyle Buchanan and although I talk nutrition and health for a living nowadays - whether through talks, videos, or as a resident contributor on Canada's "The Morning Show", it was NOT that long ago that I was an anxious, drunken, closeted, self-doubty wreck. Being a grown up is tough, and messy - where we’re confident one day and anxiety-ridden the next. I don't like faking it. I DO however, like getting it all out in the open, laughing about it, and then exploring a few tools that can help us feel better if (and only if) we are in the mood. So whether it’s solo episodes or honest conversations with spectacular guests -this show is the blend of revelations, self-help, knowledge and gay magic that NO one asked for, but everyone needs. And I'm so glad you're here.

Self-Sabotage, Setbacks & Starting Again: The Psychology of Change with Jaclyn Pritchard
If you've ever wanted to make a change but just couldn't . . . .today's episode is for you.
We're talking with Jaclyn Pritchard — a Registered Dietitian and Behaviour Change Expert at Cleveland Clinic Canada — to unpack behaviour change.
Whether it’s your nutrition, your workouts, or just feeling stuck in a loop of “starting over,” this episode dives into what’s really going on in your brain, why motivation alone isn’t enough, and how to work with your habits instead of constantly fighting them.
Jaclyn’s approach is compassionate, realistic, and full of strategies that actually work — even if you’ve tried and failed before.
We’re Covering:
- Why knowing what to do isn't the same as being able to do it
- What the “trans-theoretical model of change” is and how it can help you
- The surprising role your unconscious mind plays in daily decisions
- Why “falling off track” is actually part of the process
- How to rewire your brain with simple tools like habit tracking, repetition, and self-talk
- Nighttime snacking, environmental triggers, and what to do instead
- How to find (and keep sight of) your “why”
- Jaclyn’s feelgood thing
If you’ve ever felt like you were the problem, like change just doesn’t stick for you, or like self-compassion just isn’t in your DNA—this one will reframe the way you see it all.
