Happiness Comes Before Your Health Plan
Marv lays the foundation for the show’s focus this year. Instead of starting with diets, gym memberships, or sugar detoxes, he kicks things off with mindset and happiness, drawing from a research-based article on the seven secrets to happiness.
You’ll hear how tiny, everyday choices—checking in with a friend, taking a short walk outside, pausing to enjoy a quiet meal, or volunteering in a way that matters to you—slowly “upgrade” your happiness sources. The episode wraps with a powerful reminder: if your life feels miserable, your health plan doesn’t stand a chance, so your job is to find one way to be happy on purpose and let your health grow from there.
=== Takeaways
