36: The Tortoise (Vs. The Hare) Approach To Habit Change 🐢

🎯 What if the reason your health goals haven’t stuck isn’t a lack of discipline - but the pace you’ve been using? 🐢 In this episode, we explore why the slow, steady “tortoise” approach to health leads to more sustainable healing than all-or-nothing overhauls. We unpack how urgency, perfectionism, and intensity can actually backfire biologically - keeping the nervous system stuck in stress mode and making habits harder to maintain. 🐇 Drawing from functional medicine, nervous system science, and Gretchen Rubin’s book Better Than Before, this episode offers practical, compassionate habit-building strategies that work with your body, your personality, and your current season of life. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and want health that actually lasts, this episode is for you.
