Stay at the Top 16. Science based strategies to form and break habits with Dr. Gina Cleo
We’ve all experienced trying to start a new routine, only to be derailed by old habits. Habits can be both a powerful tool for starting new behaviours as well as a limiting behaviour that holds us back. And no one knows that better than Dr Gina Cleo
As a trained dietitian, Gina noticed that her clients struggled to maintain their progress over time, much like those elusive New Year's resolutions.
Driven by the desire to find lasting solutions, Dr. Gina Cleo pressed pause on her clinic and completed a Ph.D. at Bond University. It was there that she uncovered the transformative power of habit change and its potential to impact every facet of life.
