What if the way you age isn't determined primarily by your genes, your diet, or even how much you exercise—but by how intelligently you manage your thoughts, emotions, and everyday habits? Many of us make well-intentioned health plans that never quite stick—despite knowing what we should be doing. This episode explores why behavior change is so difficult, how unconscious programming shapes daily habits, and what science reveals about making lasting change without burnout or deprivation. Today's guest brings a powerful framework—Lifestyle Intelligence—to help us align how we think, feel, and live as we age. Lloyd Glauberman is a clinical psychologist, researcher, and pioneer in behavioral wellness. He is the founder of the Lifestyle Intelligence App, a science-based digital platform designed to align daily habits in eating, movement, sleep, and mindset. With more than 40 years in private practice, he is also the creator of Hypno-Peripheral Processing (HPP), a clinically validated audio method used by over 125,000 people worldwide. At 78, Lloyd brings both scientific expertise and lived experience to what it truly means to age with clarity, resilience, and vitality.
