166. Optimize Your Day with Lifestyle Intelligence | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman

Most of us know the basics: eat well, move your body, get enough sleep. So why is it still so hard to live a healthy lifestyle?   Dr. Andrew Fix is joined by Dr. Lloyd Glauberman, a psychotherapist with more than 40 years of experience, to talk about why common sense habits have become so difficult to maintain. They explore the idea of “lifestyle intelligence,” a concept rooted in the natural instincts we’re born with, like knowing when we’re hungry or tired, and how those instincts get overwritten by cultural norms, screens, and stress.   Why do we have more information about health than ever, yet obesity rates keep climbing? Why is stress management something we constantly talk about but rarely prioritize? This episode takes a clear-eyed look at how small, daily decisions shape long-term health and why behavior change often feels so hard to sustain.   Dr. Glauberman also shares how his work blends psychology and technology to help people stay on track, starting with a few minutes a day. If you’ve ever felt stuck between knowing what to do and actually doing it, this conversation will hit home.   Quotes “Instead of self-esteem, what we really have is selfie-esteem. We have this artificial entity we’ve created that we sell to the public on screen. That’s us now.” (10:35 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman) “Everybody on some level understands what’s important… It’s getting them to do these things. So my job is to present information in ways that it is more likely to be understood, stored, and utilized. Because if it’s not utilized, it doesn’t matter.” (30:03 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman) “You know what one of the most difficult parts we’ve never spoken a lot to when it comes to people losing weight? …is when they’re successful.” (33:18 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman) “The whole idea is you’ve got to get people used to this. There, getting there is part one, staying there is part two.” (34:02 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman) “The process of becoming ill or dysfunctional is so slow, so silent... All of that sensory information that will eventually lead to chronic disease is invisible.” (47:12 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman) “Life is about what you do most of the time, not all the time.” (52:55 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman)   Links http://lifestyleintelligence.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lloyd-glauberman   SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:
