Episode notes
Health Is A System, Not One Variable
- Health is a complex system with multiple interdependent parts, not just exercise alone.
- You must find which part is limiting progress because improving one area may be ineffective if the crux remains.
Find And Fix The Crux
- Every system has a bottleneck or crux that limits overall performance.
- Identify and improve that single limiting factor to generate the biggest change across the system.
Start With Emotional Clarity
- Start by eliciting an emotional, specific reason for change using deep, open questions.
- Agree on the single crux together and apply a minimum effective dose experiment to build skill slowly.
