The magic and mastery of building healthy habits with Dr Gina Cleo

Renowned habit experts, Dr. Gina Cleo, joins us to explore the profound impact of habits on our lives. Discover the science behind habits, practical strategies for fostering positive behaviours, and overcoming challenges for lasting change. 

Dr. Cleo's personal journey as a dietician led her to uncover the importance of habits in sustaining positive changes, particularly in weight loss and health maintenance. Habits are deeply rooted in our brains as efficient solutions to our needs, which can sometimes hinder our choices.

We unpack the science of habit change, and Dr. Cleo introduces the 'habit loop' which drives our actions and recognising it can help shift unhealthy habits to beneficial ones.

By understanding the distinction between habits and routines, listeners gain insights into reshaping behaviours. Dr. Cleo answers common questions about habit-building duration, emphasising the importance of starting small, consistency, and persistence.

Practical tips abound, including mindful exploration of habits' triggers and rewards, aligning change with personal values, and the "five-second rule" for prompt action.

Empower yourself with the science of habit change, as Dr. Gina Cleo's expertise illuminates the path to health and happiness through intentional behaviours.
