Could lasting health really be as simple as tweaking a few daily habits? Join me in my first solo of the Extend by Dr. Shah podcast as we explore how subtle shifts in your routine can lead to profound health transformations. I believe that only 20% of what we do leads to 80% of the results we see. So what actually falls into that 20%? What do we actually need to be prioritizing?   In this episode, I answer these questions. I also break down the science of habit formation, focusing on how understanding the habit loop—cue, routine, and reward—can unlock the secret to lifelong wellness. Drawing from James Clear’s Atomic Habits, we explore practical strategies like habit stacking, and why building sustainable habits is the key to long-term success + more.   I also discuss:   (02:28) Building a Habit Formation (05:22) How Consistency Can Impact Your Health (06:41) Why Atomic Habits Work (08:51) How Environment Can Have a Profound Effect on your Success (10:30) Mastering Habits   To learn more about Dr. Darshan Shah: Website: https://www.drshah.com/ Clinic: https://www.next-health.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darshanshahmd/

He highlights the dangers of ultra-processed foods and champions muscle mass's role in longevity through resistance training. Dive into personalized nutrition, early disease detection, and detoxification strategies to minimize harmful toxins. With a focus on small changes leading to significant health benefits, Hyman inspires listeners to take charge of their well-being!
