Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast with Aaron Holt, functional nutritionist.

I work with clients on the seacoast of New Hampshire and virtually all over the world through both private consultations and online nutrition programs.

I'm here with my co-host, Kyle Mayerana,

registered dietician of Route Down Nutrition based in Asheville, North Carolina. We are both

board-certified, integrative, and functional nutritionists. This means we dive deep with people

to get to the root cause of their health issues. In this podcast, we will address all things health, food, and nutrition, discussing our research,

clinical experience, and life experience.

Hey guys, welcome back to the show. It's Aaron here and I've got a guest with me. Today we're

going to be talking about habits. I've been thinking a lot about habits and it was kind of tipped off by one of my clients.

She a few months ago came to me and was having a lot of health problems, has an autoimmune

disorder, a bunch of things going on, fatigue, skin stuff, and through working together, we kind of unlocked one of the secrets

to her success, dieterally anyway. And I mean, she was killing it. I mean, she was sending me

screenshots of herself, like running races. She was feeling so good, so much energy. And then

the holidays at it. And she felt a little bit like they derailed all of her progress.

So in a recent appointment, she expressed concern, like, how do I do this for the rest of my life?

Like, do I have to live like this forever? Because it feels really hard right now.

And I was like, listen, you're just in the building habit phase right now.

That's it, right?

And I think we all have to collectively acknowledge that building new habits can be really hard.
