from The Dr. Chad Larson Podcast · host Chad Larson

Most people believe their health problems come down to willpower.They think they need more motivation, more willpower, or a stronger mindset to stay consistent with healthy habits.But in reality, the problem is often something else entirely.Your environment.Your kitchen, your schedule, your sleep habits, and your daily routines quietly shape your behavior every single day. And when those environments are designed poorly, your metabolism ends up fighting an uphill battle.In this episode, we explore why environmental design is one of the most powerful drivers of metabolic health, and why relying on willpower alone almost always fails.Human behavior tends to follow the path of least resistance.
