The roller coaster of healthy habits is exhausting. You're either completely on track with your workouts, meal prep, and sleep schedule, or you're completely off: avoiding the scale, eating whatever's easiest, and telling yourself you'll deal with it later.   Most high achievers experience this pendulum swing because our brains are wired to chase immediate rewards. When work blows up or life gets messy, we default to what gives us the fastest payoff - answering emails at 10 p.m. instead of going to bed, or finishing projects instead of heading to the gym.   The good news is that breaking this cycle doesn't mean preventing every slip or creating stricter rules. Tune in this week to learn why you find yourself stuck in the on-again, off-again cycle with your healthy habits, how both extremes of the pendulum offer temporary comfort but keep you stuck, and tools that will keep you from abandoning yourself.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/170

Loneliness isn't just in your head… it impacts your body, mood, longevity and emotional health.

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryHave you ever done everything "right" for your health only to discover your body had different plans? That's exactly what happened when my blood pressure climbed to concerning levels despite years of regular exercise, healthy eating, and stress management techniques.In this deeply personal episode, I open up about facing the reality of my genetic predisposition to high blood pressure—a condition that has affected my two younger siblings for over a decade. Despite my best efforts to maintain an active lifestyle and make conscientious food choices, my readings have crept into the 130s, 140s, and even 150s, placing me firmly in Level 2 hypertension territory.The wellness industry often perpetuates the myth that we can exercise, eat, or meditate our way out of any health condition. While lifestyle certainly matters and can delay or reduce many issues, sometimes our genetics tap us on the shoulder and demand attention. This realization doesn't mean surrendering to illness—it means developing a more nuanced understanding of health that includes awareness, monitoring, and sometimes medical intervention alongside personal responsibility.I share my current approach, including increased plant-based eating, eliminating alcohol (yes, even my beloved wine), and investing in tools like an automatic blood pressure monitor. More importantly, I discuss the mental shift from trying to control everything to focusing on what I can influence while accepting what I cannot. This perspective has been surprisingly liberating.If you're facing similar health challenges or have family tendencies you're hoping to avoid, this episode offers encouragement to embrace awareness over avoidance. Remember that acknowledging vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the foundation of genuine strength. Subscribe to Why Not?

Have you ever tried to force yourself into a habit that looks great on Instagram but feels miserable in real life?  Maybe you've told yourself you “should” be a runner, or that meal prepping every Sunday is the only way to lose weight, but deep down, you dread it every single time. That's what we're unpacking in today's episode: the difference between actually wanting a habit vs. just wanting to want it. Because when you chase “should” habits, you end up wasting your time, energy, and confidence just to fall off later. But when you start building habits you truly want? That's when weight loss gets easier, more enjoyable, and actually sticks. If you've ever felt like you're broken because you “can't stick to healthy habits,” this episode will show you the truth: you're just chasing the wrong habits. And once you let go of the “shoulds” and start focusing on what you actually want, weight loss feels doable... maybe even FUN.
