Resolutions, 75-Hard, Making Lasting Change | ETP#178

In this episode, we’re kicking off the New Year with some reflections, personal updates, and a deep dive into the 75 Hard challenge. We talk about how identity plays a huge role in making real, lasting changes and how peripheral elements like your environment shape your behavior.

We shift into the challenges of sticking to your word—especially when family, friends, and social events come into play. Ultra-processed foods, managing your surroundings, and even the less thought about psychological stuff like the sunk cost bias all make an appearance. We cover the positives of  a high-energy lifestyle, why moving around after meals matters, and how to handle social situations without losing ground on your health goals.
