Do you struggle with your willpower and the all-or-nothing cycle?

Are you tired of being promised overnight results?

Are you confused about what works best to build lifelong healthy habits? 

In Episode 25 I interview the incredible Dr Heather McKee who is a habit coach and health behaviour change specialist who supports people to build healthy habits that last a lifetime. We live in a society that perpetuates these ideals of unsustainable overnight transformations and quick fixes, which can leave ordinary people feeling like they're failing. As Dr McKee explains, living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be cruel or punishing. In this brilliant conversation,  Heather shares the specific techniques you can implement to find healthy lifelong habits that that you actually enjoy. 

In this episode we cover:

- Why your environment is far more influential than willpower or discipline

- How to identify your habit “triggers” and quit the binge-restrict cycle

- Why your values are fundamental to creating lasting habits and joy

- Why you should stop restricting and start replacing

- Finding the wisdom behind your cravings and compulsions

- The reason why diets and body shaming do NOT create long-term well-being

- The relationship between self-kindness and behaviour change

- How to create long-term, nourishment through your choices

- The key techniques for making healthy changes
