Welcome to the Dr. Gundry podcast. The weekly podcast where Dr. G gives you the tools you need to boost your health and live your healthiest life.

Haven't made any New Year's resolutions yet? Perhaps you don't even know where to start.

Or maybe the idea of making resolutions makes you break out in a sweat because you're afraid you'll fail and disappoint yourself. I get it, but not to worry.

Because like I always say, it's never too late to start reclaiming your well-being.

So even though we're well into January, it's not too late to put a plan in action that will give you maximum results that you're going to love with minimal effort.

Today I'm going to share simple tools to make real lasting changes. I'll also reveal the worst resolutions to make and the best ones.

With simple lifestyle tweaks for the healthiest most fulfilled and exciting life. No matter what time of year it is, this information will empower you to start making what you want to happen today. We'll be right back.

There are really a few more tips for really making those goals stick.

Plan ahead. Making a list New Year's Day because you have to isn't the best way to make lasting change.

Instead, start today and give yourself a week in January too. It's always better to have a well thought out plan than to just throw something together.

Especially when it comes to your health. Don't make a list. Make a plan.

Sure, it's great fun to say I'm going to lose 30 pounds or I'm going to run a marathon or I'm going to learn to cook. But without a plan, that's all just talk.

So set those goals. But then break down what you'll need to get there and make those smaller steps part of your resolution.

That way you feel accomplished for checking off little things and you've got an easy to follow guide to reaching your goals.

So instead of run a marathon, start with by running shoes or run or just walk a mile. Then maybe five miles. Then maybe find a training plan.

You'll feel accomplished each time you have something you can cross off the list and it'll keep you going. Track your progress.

If you measure it, you can change it. It's true of weight loss, of learning to play an instrument and even of fitness.

For every big goal you've got this year, come up with measurable, trackable ways to reach them, whether it's 1.5 pounds loss or holding a plank for a minute and track your progress.

Tracking will also help you identify sticking points so you can adjust your efforts and change things up if you need to.

Write it down and put it where you can see it.

Having your resolution listed on a page in a notebook or a note on your phone is a good start, but that only goes so far.

Try posting your resolution and your plan for meeting it on your refrigerator, front door, somewhere you'll see it every day.
