8-Life Changing Lessons From Atomic Habits
Small habits can have a powerful impact on our lives – the challenge is that we don’t see the impact from these habits real-time, we only see the results of our habits after a while. This delay in positive change can mean most of us become discouraged. However, it's important that we focus on our current trajectory, rather than our current results. In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from the #1 New York Times bestseller book, Atomic Habits.

Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard psychiatrist and author of Brain Energy, has developed the first comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness. Surprisingly, new research reveals that mental health disorders are metabolic, and this paradigm shift in our understanding will finally point the way to treatments that can change lives. In this episode, we discuss why mental health is mistreated, how metabolic disorders have influenced the rise in mental health disorders, and how a diet can put a chronic brain disorder into remission off medication.
