Beyond Willpower: The Science Behind Behavior Change | Nourish MD Podcast S03-E01

In this episode, Meg Tancredi, MS, RD talks with psychologist and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Dr. Kristen Kvamme about what truly drives lasting behavior change. They explore why willpower isn’t the answer, how all‑or‑nothing thinking gets in the way, and why small, consistent actions create the biggest results. You’ll hear about the role of tracking, shifting negative self‑talk, and building identity‑based habits that stick. Dr. Kvamme specializes in helping people create realistic routines around nutrition, movement, and self‑care using evidence‑based psychology and incremental change, with an emphasis on consistency over perfection and habits that fit real life.
