Why do most transformation efforts fail, even when people are deeply committed? In this thought-provoking episode of The Leadership Project, Michael Lopez, transformation coach and author of Change, unpacks the science behind why change is so hard and what we've been getting wrong all along. With over 20 years of experience helping organizations navigate complex change, Lopez challenges the conventional, rational-only approach and introduces six brain-based strategies to make change stick, both personally and systemically.Rather than focusing on willpower or generic frameworks, Lopez dives into the biology of transformation. He explains how the brain and body respond to change as a perceived threat, which often sabotages even our best intentions. Using real-world examples, including a remarkable case where a failing nuclear plant climbed from the bottom 10 percent to top 10 percent performance in just a year, he reveals how aligning change efforts with our neurobiology unlocks lasting results. His framework begins with understanding what's really going on, fostering individual ownership, and building a movement rather than enforcing compliance.The episode also flips popular beliefs on stress and failure. Lopez makes a compelling case that stress, when properly framed, is not the enemy but a key ingredient for growth. He unpacks how challenge strengthens the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, the part of the brain that helps us overcome difficulty. From building new habits to transforming entire teams, you'll walk away with a practical, science-backed blueprint to navigate change effectively and sustainably. Whether you're leading others or leading yourself, this is a must-listen.

Have you ever wanted to just start over, to hit control, alt, delete on your life and start from scratch? A few years ago, my wife Mel and I asked ourselves a terrifying question: What if we let it all go and started over? The answer sent us down an unexpected path, one that taught us a lot about freedom, burnout, and the science of change. In this episode, I unpack our story, explore the psychology behind the Fresh Start Effect, and reveal why the timing of change might matter more than the tools.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Are you a serial snacker? Is there ALWAYS room for dessert? Do you find yourself feeling hungry throughout the day, despite just eating? Or maybe you notice reaching for a bag of chips whenever you're feeling stressed? Did you know that there are actually different types of hunger that can shape our eating habits? Spoiler: You're NOT broken!Welcome to Salad with a Side of Fries, the podcast where we dig into the surprising truths about how we eat and why. Today, host and health coach Jenn Trepeck is tackling a topic that's far more complex than it seems: hunger. We're going to explore the fascinating world of hedonic hunger, the kind driven by pure pleasure, and how it can often override our natural homeostatic hunger, that biological signal that tells us we actually need fuel. We'll also explore how processed foods significantly impact our hunger signals and strategies for managing each type. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about your cravings and your plate, because by the end of this episode, you'll have a whole new understanding of what it means to truly be hungry. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Hedonic hunger, driven by dopamine, can override the biological drive of homeostatic hunger(06:48) Hunger is not a moral failing, and how to identify homeostatic hunger(12:01) Cravings versus hunger, and studies show high nutrient density diets reduce hunger pains and cravings(16:58) Is it hunger, or is it restriction, and hedonic hunger involves eating for pleasure, triggered by ultra-processed foods or stress(22:47) Controlling hedonic hunger(27:35) Emotional hunger is eating to cope with emotions, and recognizing emotional eating is key to managing it(33:50) Conditioned hunger is defined as a learned response to stimuli or situations(37:55) Hidden hunger is defined as cellular micronutrient deficiency, often from processed foods(43:00) Toxic hunger is defined as discomfort from processed food toxins(47:34) Nutrient-dense, whole foods emphasized as key to balancing all hunger typesKEY TAKEAWAYS:Hunger is multifaceted and often extends beyond the need for energy. There are several types of hunger—hedonic, emotional, conditioned, hidden, and toxic—that are distinct from basic physiological (homeostatic) hunger. This indicates that a complex interplay of pleasure can drive eating, emotions, learned responses, and even cellular deficiencies or toxic exposures, rather than just an empty stomach.Understanding the various drivers of hunger is crucial for managing eating behaviors effectively. Recognizing whether hunger is due to a biological need, an emotional state, a learned trigger, or even a cellular deficiency allows individuals to address the root cause more effectively. For example, emotional eating requires different strategies than homeostatic hunger.Food quality has a significant impact on hunger and overall well-being. Eating Nutrient-dense foods can reduce true hunger pains and cravings, while processed foods contribute to "hidden" and "toxic" hunger due to nutrient deficiencies and the presence of toxins. This underscores the importance of whole, unprocessed foods not just for satiety, but also for preventing various forms of discomfort and health issues often mistaken for hunger.QUOTES: (07:13) "The body only has so many ways to communicate with us." - Jenn Trepeck(14:21) “Eating nutrient-dense foods minimizes hunger pains." - Jenn Trepeck(21:06) “Hedonic hunger is when people get into that shame and blame and beat themselves up.” - Jenn Trepeck(31:12) “One of the best questions my therapist ever asked me was, where am I not being fed?" - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: HungerThe Bulls-Eye of Change

How victim, villain, and helpless stories sabotage our most important conversations.The hardest conversations aren't just about what you say to the other person. According to Joseph Grenny, critical conversations begin with the stories that you tell yourself.As a leading expert on business performance and communication, and a New York Times bestselling co-author of Crucial Conversations, Grenny explains that navigating high-stakes communication starts by examining the internal narratives we bring into these situations. “You and I use three consistent types of stories in these moments that don't serve us well,” he says: Victim stories (emphasizing our innocence), villain stories (demonizing the other person), and helpless stories (justifying our poor responses). "Those three kinds of stories are what amp up our emotions and justify us in our unhealthy responses," he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Grenny joins Matt Abrahams to share practical strategies for mastering difficult conversations through what he calls "TLC" — truth, love, and competence. From recognizing your motives during conflict to accepting your role in creating it, he offers tools for staying focused on what you really want rather than getting hijacked by short-term emotional impulses.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium Episode Reference Links:Joseph GrennyJoseph's Book: Crucial Conversations  Ep.105 Radical Candor: The Communication Shift That Can Transform Your CareerEp.148 Conviction and Compassion: How to Have Hard Conversations  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:16) - Influence & Why It Matters (04:15) - Truth & Love: The Foundation of Accountability (06:35) - Showing You Care & Respect Others (08:19) - Recognizing Motives in High-Stakes Moment (14:13) - Managing Emotions in Crucial Conversations (20:08) - The Final Three Questions (25:24) - Conclusion    ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

EP. 213: In this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I'm joined by one of the world's leading experts on peptides and cellular medicine, Dr. William Seeds. Dr. Seeds is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with over 25 years of experience and the founder of the Seeds Scientific Research and Performance Institute. He's also hosting the upcoming Peptide World Congress this June 2025 in Las Vegas, where I'm honored to be speaking on the main stage! Together, we dive into a conversation that goes far beyond the basics of GLP-1s. We explore how these peptides can support not just weight loss, but also behavior change, neuroplasticity, and metabolic function. Dr. Seeds shares fresh insights into how GLP-1s affect the brain, why they must be paired with strength training, and the dangers of overreliance or overdosing.  Topics Discussed:  What are the benefits of GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss? How do GLP-1s like Ozempic affect neuroplasticity and behavior change? Why is strength training essential when using GLP-1 peptides for fat loss? Can you customize GLP-1 dosing based on patient sensitivity and metabolism? What are the risks of overusing or overdosing GLP-1 medications like Ozempic?

In today's episode, Chris McMahon joins us! He shares his journey from being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 10 to coaching hundreds of clients through sustainable behavior change - while raising a family and working toward becoming a registered dietitian.This conversation digs into the truth about blood sugar, why no one is actually addicted to cookies, and how to stop chasing extremes and start building the messy, human middle. We also unpack the emotional side of food, the limits of macros alone, and how to finally build consistency by making space for being a real, imperfect person.What's really behind that “I know what to do, I'm just not doing it” feeling? What if you're not broken—just stuck in old coping patterns? What stories are you still carrying about your body? What if you stopped trying to be a robot—and let yourself be a human? And what if the real win is showing up when it's not convenient?If you've ever felt like you were failing just because you're not perfect, this episode is for you.“You never are the finished product. You're a work in progress the entire time until your last breath here on Earth. The only way you fuck any of this up is if you just quit.”- Chris McMahon“You are the one who gets to choose what you do.You just have to look and actually schedule it.”- Chris McMahonThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Chris's personal journey with type 1 diabetes and how it shaped his coaching philosophyWhy insulin spikes are normal - and not something to fear or obsess overHow stress, not just sugar, can cause blood sugar to riseWhat real food addiction looks like (and why it's not about cookies)The emotional layer behind bingeing, overeating, and numbing through foodWhy mindset, values, and emotional safety matter more than perfect calorie trackingWhy not every coach is good at every thing (and why it should be that way)The one piece of homework Chris assigns to almost every client - and why it worksConnect with Chris McMahon:Chris McMahon on InstagramChris McMahon Website - Lose Fat.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, we explore the evolving landscape of wellness strategies, focusing on how pharmaceutical supports can be integrated into a holistic approach to health for midlife wellness. We discuss the importance of maintaining fundamental wellness practices while considering medical interventions as complementary tools rather than replacements. Key Points from this Episode: Understanding the role of pharmaceutical supports, including hormone therapy, weight management medications, and prescribed supplements in modern wellness The critical importance of maintaining fundamental health practices like hydration, sleep, nutrition, mindset, and movement Why taking an integrated approach (combining medical interventions with basic wellness practices) leads to better outcomes This episode emphasizes that while modern medical interventions can be valuable tools in our wellness journey, they work best when built upon a strong foundation of basic health practices. The message is clear: it's not about choosing between medical supports and fundamentals – it's about thoughtfully combining both for optimal results.

This week, Coach Stefanie is stepping in to share game-changing tips on Behavior Change & Habit Formation! From building awareness to using simple tricks like visual cues and identity shifts, she's breaking down how to create habits that actually stick.

“Bad habits are like a comfortable bed—easy to get into, but hard to get out of.” ~Jewish ProverbIntention, Data, and the Ingredients for Lasting Habit DevelopmentWe love science. We trust scientists.Why?Because they use data.They run experiments. They form hypotheses and make plans. They test, track, and refine.Here's the question most people never ask:If you love science so much, where's your behavioral data?Where's the record of your actions?Where's the feedback loop driving your growth?That's what this episode is about.ShareHabit development requires more than repetition.It requires intention. And intention needs a PLAN.This is where most habit models fall flat.The Habit Loop is descriptive, not prescriptive.It explains what happens once a habit exists, but not how to build one intentionally.That's where P.A.R.R. comes in—a proven, habit-building system aligned with the scientific method itself:Plan – Form your hypothesis: the habit, your MSC (Minimum Success Criteria), and target days.Act – Run the experiment: do the behavior as planned.Record – Track your results using 1s and 0s, and jot down notes.Reassess – Analyze your results: targets vs. actuals.If you're 85% or better, raise the bar for the next four-week tracking period.If not, revise and stay consistent.That's how you develop habit strength and automaticity.Unfortunately, the famed “Habit Loop” — cue, routine, reward — is not the answer.ShareHabit and Skill Development Require 3 Ingredients:There are three fundamental requirements to build a good habit or skill:Knowledge: You need to know what to do and why it matters.Capacity (Not skill): The late, great Stephen Covey taught that habit formation requires knowledge, skill, and desire—understandably so. However, upon closer examination, a key distinction emerges:Both intentional habits and skills, once fully formed, reside in the same part of the brain—the limbic structure.When something becomes automatic, it's no longer a “skill in development”—it's a capacity expressed repeatedly. That's why skill cannot be a prerequisite for habit formation. It's basic capacity that matters. Not skill.Desire: The most important. With genuine desire, knowledge, and capacity, will be found—or created. This is a public episode.

She shares ways we can address self-doubt and limiting thoughts that can prevent us from growing in our lives.Karen has seen how women who, once they found the courage to speak up for themselves, experienced significant improvements in their health and well-being. This newfound confidence also helps them recognize how different aspects of their lives, such as work, relationships, and consistently putting themselves last, contribute to their medical challenges.

You know what to do. You've read the books, journaled the insights, maybe even coached others through the same thing. But when it comes to your own life, something still isn't shifting.We're diving into the psychology of the knowing–doing gap, that frustrating space between insight and action, and unpacking why even the most emotionally intelligent among us get stuck.Rooted in behavioural theory, trauma-informed coaching, and real-life experience, we explore the invisible forces blocking change, even when we're desperate. You'll hear about internal conditioning, emotional safety, nervous system responses, and the quiet ways our culture rewards burnout and self-abandonment.This isn't about pushing harder.It's about creating inner and outer infrastructure that finally supports the life you already know you want.We'll cover:The surprising origins of the knowing–doing gap (and why it's not your fault)Why self-awareness is necessary – but not enough – for behaviour changeThe role of emotional resistance, cognitive dissonance, and nervous system protection in keeping you stuckFour powerful barriers that block action and how to gently dissolve themWhy change disrupts social dynamics, and how to hold your ground when others push backSomatic and practical tools to help you pause, realign, and take brave, value-aligned actionWhy midlife (or any life crossroads) is often the beginning of true freedomThis episode is for you if:You're deeply self-aware but still repeating patterns that exhaust or resent youYou crave rest, clarity, boundaries—or visibility—but can't seem to follow throughYou've been told you're “so strong” for too long, and you're ready to be realYou want to understand not just why you're stuck, but how to move forward

“People say, ‘Life is for living — not for tracking.'You can — and should — do both.TRACK what matters.”Want better results? Start thinking like a scientist.Not with lab coats and equations—just two basic question:“What did I try? Did it work?”That's the core message and method behind The Habit Factor's habit development framework, P.A.R.R.»That's also the heart of intentional behavior change.We said it before:Behavior change requires behavior change.Silly? Maybe.Stupid? Perhaps.Accurate? Absolutely.You are the scientist. Your behavior is the experiment.Change. Collect data. Reassess & Interate.Plan. Act. Record. & Reassess. = PARRWhat behavioral data are you collecting?P.A.R.R. applies the scientific method to your life.It's not a theory. It's a method. And it works.Share

Kelly connects with Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz to discuss her new book “Mindmasters: The Data-Driven Science of Predicting and Changing Human Behavior.” “We are fighting for attention. We want to be seen.”  “Behavioral residues are the by-product of our lives.”  “Each of us comes in many different versions.”

I'm not waiting for some feeling to strike me before I tackle what needs to be done, and neither should you. Real change, the kind that sticks, starts with action–whether you feel like it or not. I'll be sharing some of my own struggles and the practical steps I've taken to break free from this motivation trap. For me, it became about more than just my own goals; it was about showing up as the dad my kids deserve. That intention, that commitment to them, became the real kickstarter. In this episode, I'm diving into: Why this whole idea of 'finding motivation' before starting is complete BS. The powerful realization I had: taking action actually creates the motivation you're waiting for. The simple, actionable strategies I use to get moving, even on those days when I feel like I'm dragging myself through mud. How focusing on the 'why' – especially the 'why' behind being a great dad – can be the ultimate fuel for consistent action. The incredible momentum you build in your life, and for your family, by taking those small, consistent steps, even when you don't feel like it. Look, I've seen the research, and it backs this up. Behavioral science shows that just doing something, anything, can shift your mindset and create that positive feedback loop. And as dads, we know our actions set the tone. When we show up, even when it's hard, our kids see that. So, if you're ready to stop waiting for a feeling and start taking control, this episode is for you. Let's ditch the motivation myth together and start building a life of action, one small step at a time. www.thedadedge.com/friday203 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance

What if you could rewrite the code of your personality—on command? Not just cope with anxiety, overthinking, or social exhaustion… but delete the traits holding you back and install better ones? This episode challenges everything you've been told about identity. Dave dives deep into the science of personality change to reveal why your habits, moods, triggers, and even sense of self aren't fixed—they're fluid. And more importantly: they're up for grabs. Joining him is award-winning journalist from The Atlantic, Olga Khazan, author of Me, But Better, who spent years hacking her own mind—transforming high neuroticism, social avoidance, and chronic self-criticism into calm, confidence, and connection. Her personal experiment in identity rewiring became a roadmap for anyone who wants to feel different… and live differently. You'll uncover the hidden mechanisms behind neuroticism, reactivity, and emotional spirals—and how to override them with real-time upgrades.
