Not sure where to start with your health?
The most effective first step, as I discuss here, is to identify the single habit acting as your biggest performance anchor and remove that brake before adding more tips and hacks.
This clip explores the “brake vs accelerator” approach to health, why a singular focus outperforms scattered efforts, and how to choose the one area that’s genuinely holding you back.
As a nutritionist and health communicator, I’m exploring with my guest how to pinpoint your biggest thorn in the side - whether that’s body composition, mental health, sleep, eating practices, or even micronutrient habits - and make that your priority.
We discuss coaching insights from elite athletes and everyday people, the value of setting six-week, six-month, yearly and decade-long goals, and when it makes sense to overhaul lifestyle as one action-focused goal rather than chasing outcomes.
The conversation also touches on immediate vs delayed gratification and why removing anchors reduces wear and tear before you ever need the accelerator.
