This is a Glassbox Media Podcast.

Welcome to the Self-Helpful Podcast.

I'm Kevin Miller and I partner with our biggest publishers and agencies to bring you the most up-to-date experts and personalities

in personal growth, development and improvement, so you can be in the know and growing into your fullest capacity.

I'm Kevin Miller. In this episode, we're talking about how to make effective lasting change in our lives,

but with a special focus on eating and exercise in all areas of life where we seek to develop new habits and get new results.

There is now new information that areas of diet and exercise specifically don't work like the others

and are the areas we most fail because life happens.

So this new information is brought to us by Dr. Michelle Seeger, who I have with us today.

Michelle takes our cultural concept of habits to task, really, and we're going to talk about her groundbreaking decision-making framework

and the science behind it to give hope to the millions of what she calls and labels herself as,

unhabitors who are frustrated with their failure to keep up all the good habits they intend to engage with

and we're going to discuss the behavior change solution designed for them, and I should say us as you'll hear.

We are just enamored with creating habits in our lives that will give us the success we want,

but what you're about to find out as a normal framework and, again, perspective just is not working for a lot of us.

And there's a solution that's why I've got Michelle on the show.

She's an award-winning and national institute of health funded, sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan

and a lifestyle coach, and for nearly three decades, she's pioneered methods to create sustainable, healthy behavior change.

It's being used to boost patient health, employee wellbeing, even gym membership retention.

And I'm pulling info in this talk from her new book, The Joy Choice.

How to finally achieve lasting changes in eating and exercise, but I'm going to say it goes far beyond that.

You can find Michelle, I wrote just the book wherever you get books.
