We're going to talk about what it would look like if we tried to build healthier habits based on what works for actual humans according to decades of research. Starting with our listener, whom we're calling Emily. As a college volleyball player, Emily used to spend six to seven hours at the gym every day. She now has a 13 year old step son and a new baby.
It's only March and we're already starting to veer off track with our resolutions for the year. Don't worry! 90% of people fail to reach their goals each year, which means there's got to be a better way. On this episode of How To!, a listener named Emily is feeling discouraged by her eating habits and lack of exercise. Maya, a behavioral scientist, helps Emily (and the rest of us!) form better habits so we can set ourselves up for success.
