Five Steps a Day with Dr. Len Lopez: Small Daily Habits for Body, Mind & Spirit |

Sheila Dunbar welcomes Dr. Len Lopez, a nutritionist, strength and conditioning coach, and chiropractic sports physician with 25+ years of experience, to discuss balance and his simple accountability tool, Five Steps a Day. Dr. Len explains the STEPS acronym—Sleep, Think, Eat, Physical, Spirit—and how daily check-ins and visual tracking can help people build consistent habits without trying to overhaul everything at once. They cover moving from vicious cycles to virtuous cycles, the importance of mindset and faith for resilience, and practical starting points like small improvements in meals and short walks. Dr. Len also shares perspectives on HIIT training, positive self-talk, digestion and absorption, and where listeners can download the Five Steps a Day app or calendar at 5stepsaday.com.   00:00 Finding Balance Today 01:20 Stuck in Life Cycles 01:51 Podcast Welcome Intro 02:21 Meet Dr Len Lopez 03:57 Why Five Steps Exists 05:36 Body Mind Spirit Link 07:19 STEPS Acronym Explained 08:40 Sleep and Dream Better 13:35 Spiritual Muscles Matter 15:42 Accountability Feedback Loop 19:46 From Vicious to Virtuous 21:43 Feeding the Right Wolf 23:50 Choosing Focus and Timing 26:04 Change Habits Now 27:52 Faith And Resilience 30:00 Rewiring Negative Thoughts 33:17 Start With Small Steps 35:33 Tracking Progress Visually 37:00 Lightning Round Fun 38:36 Train Smart After 35 42:19 Digestion And Absorption 46:27 Gratitude And Closing   🔔 **Subscribe** to Sheila's Take for more inspiring interviews and discussions!
