Breaking Bad Habits

Breaking Bad Habits

We all have habits we’d like to banish, and often we believe our success or failure comes down to discipline and willpower. But discipline and willpower don’t tell the whole story, and that’s because the brain doesn’t make changes easily.

Breaking a bad habit CAN be done, and today’s show is here to help.

Today’s content is specifically framed around a listener’s question re: buying on impulse, but please know the suggestions offered are rooted in neuroscience and can be applied to any (and every!) habit you’d like to break.

Here’s a preview:

[4:30] How to use the Feedback Loop to ask yourself the right whys

[15:00] The importance of removing and/or inserting visual cues when breaking a bad habit

[27:00] Reign in your expectations! Here’s why it takes lots of time to rewire your brain

[33:00] Everything you need to know about compulsive shopping disorder

Nature As Medicine

Are we treating the symptoms of modern life while simultaneously ignoring our habitat?

The average American now spends 93% of their life indoors. But humans evolved for millennia alongside the natural world, and research suggests that our indoor lifestyle is disrupting our sleep, focus and long-term health.

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive workout gear to get your health back on track. On today’s show, Dr. John La Puma argues that all you need is a 17-minute dose of nature, every single day.

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] Modern medicine tends to prioritize intervention over prevention. But why?

[7:30] We’re taught to fear the outdoors, but indoor living can be directly harmful in ways we’re only beginning to understand

[11:30] Why it’s time to view “screen time” as “ultra-processed time”

[16:00] Exactly how a daily dose of morning sunlight resets insulin sensitivity, hunger timing, and prefrontal cortex function

[30:00] Outside exercise is better for you than inside exercise, so take your movement outdoors!
