What do you do when you know what to do for your health — but the habits just don’t stick?

In this Friday 5 episode, VJ explores why healthy routines so often fall away, especially when you’re living with autoimmunity, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or chronic symptoms. Rather than blaming willpower or motivation, this episode reframes habit failure as a sign of mismatch between the body, the nervous system, and unrealistic expectations.

You’ll learn why habits need to be built for who you are now — not who you used to be — and how shrinking habits, designing for hard days, and reducing nervous system load can make consistency feel achievable again.

This episode is practical, compassionate, and grounded in what VJ sees every day in clinic — with simple, realistic strategies you can start using immediately.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, discouraged, or “behind” in your health journey, this episode will help you build habits that actually last — without burning yourself out in the process.
