Summary

In this episode of the Chasing Health Podcast, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen talk about five things that might be keeping you stuck in your health journey—even if you don’t realize it. They explain how thinking you have to be perfect is hurting you more than helping. They also talk about why it’s so important to trust yourself, let go of old habits, and stop chasing quick fixes. Instead of looking for hacks, they share why focusing on basic habits like sleep, steps, and food tracking will take you much further. The episode is full of real client stories and tips that can help you finally get unstuck and make progress that lasts.
