What if the reason you struggle to stay consistent has nothing to do with willpower?

In this empowering conversation, Soul Shift welcomes Dr. Amy Behimer, pharmacist, board-certified health and wellness coach, and host of the Autoimmune Health Secrets podcast. After receiving multiple autoimmune diagnoses, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Amy became determined to create a life that was healthier after diagnosis than before it.

Together, Amy, Ali, Mindy, and Christine explore why so many people know what they should do to improve their health but struggle to follow through consistently. Amy shares the science behind habit formation, the role of the nervous system in creating sustainable change, and why tiny actions often create the biggest transformations.

Dr. Amy Behimer is a PharmD and board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC) who helps people with autoimmune disease build habits that actually stick.

Combining her clinical expertise as a pharmacist with practical coaching tools and lived experience, Amy helps people create sustainable habits that improve energy, reduce overwhelm, and support long-term health. She is the host of the Autoimmune Health Secrets podcast and creator of CLUB Habit Hub.

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't require perfection. Through small, intentional shifts, self-compassion, and consistent practice, it is possible to build trust with your body, create habits that actually stick, and move from overwhelm into sustainable wellness.
