Why is sustainable lifestyle change so difficult—and why do so many of us start in the wrong place? In this powerful and practical conversation, host Dr. John Barnes sits down with Jonathan Boulware, a Lifestyle Behavior Change specialist, to discover why the real foundation for lasting lifestyle behavioral change does NOT start with diet and exercise!

Jonathan explains why the journey begins in the mind, not the kitchen or the gym. In this episode you will learn:

• How to develop a “Why” powerful enough to use as your weapon against adversity.
• Why belief is the cornerstone of transformation—and how to rebuild it after years of negative self-talk.
• Developing “Counter-measures” to overcome triggers that normally derail your progress.
• How to cultivate self-compassion and forgiveness as critical tools for progress.
• What “emotional pounds” are and how to shed them for good.
• How to identify and tap into your unique “superpowers” to build the confidence you need for success in weight loss and lifestyle behavior change!

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has tried to “start over” one too many times and is ready to build the mindset and momentum for long lasting Life Possible!
