Bob Nease, chief scientist at Express Scripts, wants to promote home delivery of prescription drugs by mail -- a process proven to lower error rates, increase cost savings, and improve medication adherence. But, if switching to home delivery is beneficial to most employees, why don’t more of them do it? Harvard Business School professor John Beshears describes how using choice architecture, or nudging people, can guide employees to making wiser decisions while still respecting their autonomy.

If you remember from last week we are hashing out the idea of connecting motivation to transformation. What is a lasting motivator for people to hit and surpass their goals? With Howard’s guidance we explore different options for higher level motivations, how they work, what they look like in practice, and how we can connect with them and use them.

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Howard Jacobson, PhD. Howard is a health educator, author, and broadcaster from Pittsboro, North Carolina. He is the host of the Plant Yourself Podcast and founder of TribeWell.us. He is a contributing author to Proteinaholic, by Garth Davis, MD, and Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition, by T. Colin Campbell. Howard coaches, consults, and speaks on health and fitness for individuals, families, organizations, and communities. Today we try to hash out the idea of connecting motivation to transformation. That is, being healthy isn’t enough of a motivator for most people to actually reach their goals and stay with it long term. With Howard’s guidance we explore different options for higher level motivations, how they work, what they look like in practice, and how we can connect with them and use them. Josh LaJaunie comes up a lot in this podcast as he is a big inspiration for Howard’s thoughts on motivation. In this episode, we mentioned that Josh would be coming on the show soon, but we decided to get him on before we aired this show so you would have a background story to refer to. So if you have not yet listened to 105 with Josh LaJaunie, you should consider going back and having a listen to that first. This episode with Howard Jacobson will be a two part podcast as the conversation was just too good to cut short. In this episode we discuss: Vegan vs plant-based Writing with Dr T. Colin Campbell and Dr Garth Davis Motivation The influence of Josh LaJaunie Waiting for tragedy Wanting to do things vs choosing to do them Behavioral economics Pain & pleasure – cost/benefit Pain threshold and instant gratification Links to things we mentioned: Howard Jacobson’s , , Losing 200lbs & Becoming An Athlete with Josh LaJaunie – Plantpower vs Plantbased – Proteinaholic with Garth Davis – Our Transition To A Plant-Based Lifestyle – by John Robbins by Bob Nease by Peter Bregman by Marc Schoen and Kristin Loberg by Robert Fritz by Garth Davis M.D. and Howard Jacobson by T.
