41 | Why Healthy Habits Don't Stick & How to Make Them

Ever wonder why those healthy habits you try to adopt just don't seem to last? Jiordana Saade, a certified holistic nutritionist, dives into this very issue in Episode 41 of 'Head-To-Heal'. Drawing from her extensive background in behavioural neuropsychology and hypnosis, Jiordana unpacks the neuroscience behind our behaviours and shares practical tips to help you finally make those good habits stick.

In this episode, Jiordana explains that our brains are naturally wired to seek pleasure, which often leads us to abandon our well-intentioned routines. Instead of setting ourselves up for failure with lofty goals, she suggests starting small and rewarding ourselves for each step we take. This approach helps rewire our brains to associate positive feelings with our new habits. Jiordana also touches on the pitfalls of perfectionism and high-achieving tendencies. These traits can be major barriers to maintaining healthy habits.

By identifying and challenging our limiting beliefs, we can create a more supportive mental environment for change. And let's not forget the power of community—having a supportive group can keep us accountable and motivated. If you're tired of starting over and want to learn how to make lasting changes, this episode is packed with valuable insights and strategies. Tune in to discover how you can rewire your brain for a healthier, happier life.
