The Nutrition Couch

Why It Feels Hard: The Psychology Behind Healthy Habits


Listen Later

Do you find yourself saying, "This is hard" when it comes to healthy eating or staying consistent with your goals?

In this empowering episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Susie Burrell and Leanne Ward dive into the uncomfortable truths behind why change feels difficult—and what to do about it.

They break down:

  • Why "hard" often just means "emotionally uncomfortable"
  • How to reframe your mindset to stop self-sabotaging progress
  • The top five foods they wish all clients would eat more often
  • A brilliant high-protein, budget-friendly lunch find in Woolworths
  • Everything you need to know about protein powders: who needs them, how to use them, and why they’re not just for gym junkies

This episode is your wake-up call and reset in one. If you've hit a plateau or feel stuck in a cycle of "trying but not doing," this conversation will help you shift gears, reframe your mindset, and take action that actually sticks.
