111. When Creating New Healthy Habits Feels Impossible (Habit Change For Weight Loss, Longevity, and Wellness)

Ever feel like your new habits are stuck in “I’ll start Monday” mode? In this episode, Dr. Lisa shares a story about her client’s husband, and her own six-month delay in starting a shuffle dance class, to explore why habit change feels so hard. You’ll learn how perfectionism, time expectations, and lack of reward can stall progress, and how to use the Tiny Habits method by Dr. BJ Fogg to finally build momentum. Whether your goal is daily exercise, better sleep, or cooking more at home, this episode gives you practical tools to make new behaviors so small and satisfying, they become automatic. Plus, you’ll hear how something as simple as writing a word on a calendar can be just the reward your brain needs to keep going.Thanks for listening!
