Ever find yourself struggling to stick to healthy habits despite knowing their benefits?

In this episode, I uncover the secrets to making healthier choices with less effort by focusing on the concept of reducing friction. Listen in as I explore the small obstacles that make sticking to health plans challenging and share practical strategies to remove these barriers. 

I'll discuss the motivational triad and how our brains are wired to seek immediate pleasure, making habit formation difficult. By addressing our internal dialogue and the simple reasons behind our resistance—like convenience, time constraints, and discomfort—we can create a smoother path to achieving our health goals.

I also tackle common hurdles in maintaining healthy habits such as staying hydrated and meal prepping. Learn how keeping water accessible and using partial prep techniques can simplify cooking and make healthy eating more manageable. 

Additionally, discover how making healthy snacks more visible and accessible can significantly improve your eating habits. I'll share personal anecdotes and introduce cognitive behavioral tools like the think-feel-act cycle to help you recognize and challenge your thoughts, reducing resistance to healthy habits. 

Join me for an episode filled with insights and practical tips to help you overcome obstacles and achieve health success with ease.
