Episode 133: Daily Behaviors: The Twenty-Three Hours Nobody Is Talking About

In this episode, I break down Pillar Eight of the Vitality Nation framework — Daily Behaviors — covering the active couch potato effect, the step count research, the biology of morning sunlight exposure and circadian entrainment, workout consistency as the primary training variable, the story of my client, Sarah, whose plateau was solved not by more training but by changing her daily behavioral environment, outdoor time and nature exposure research, and a four-block daily behavior blueprint.
