Manage episode 448906686 series 3609757
What if the secret to transforming your health isn’t about discipline but understanding how your brain is wired? In this episode of Extend with Dr. Shah, I dive into the fascinating science of habit formation and uncover why routines like regular exercise and structured eating are the real keys to long-term health and longevity.
As a physician, I break down how habits automate your actions, helping you conserve mental energy and sustain healthy changes without relying on willpower alone. Drawing inspiration from experts like Charles Duhigg, James Clear, and Malcolm Gladwell, I explore the habit loop—cue, routine, and reward—and how to redesign your environment to reinforce positive behaviors and so much more.
