Willpower Is Overrated: What Actually Creates Lasting Change | Ben Wilson

Most people already know they should exercise more, eat better, and take better care of themselves.So why is lasting change so difficult?In this episode, Ben Wilson, personal trainer, behaviour change expert, and author, takes us beyond the usual “eat less and move more” conversation. With more than 20 years of experience helping people transform their health, Ben explains the psychology behind habits, motivation, emotional eating, weight regain, and sustainable behaviour change.We explore why willpower isn't always the answer, why many diets work temporarily but fail long-term, and what people can do differently when they find themselves constantly starting over.This is a conversation about health—but also about psychology, identity, consistency, and what it really takes to change.Connect With Ben:Website: https://benwilsonuk.com
