You're not “undisciplined” you're just bad at design.I'm Angela Shurina, and today I'm sharing 3 science-backed strategies for breaking hard-to-quit habits by design, not by disciplining your way through temptations.If you've ever promised yourself you'd stop something small but stubborn (like my own coconut milk in coffee routine) and then watched autopilot win again, this is your reset button.We dig into why routine disruption is so powerful, and why your environment beats your best intentions sooner than later. You'll learn how to redesign what's around you so the habit you want to quit becomes inconvenient, harder to access, and easier to forget. Think environment design, friction, and better defaults rather than more motivation.Then we break down the habit loop from behavioral science: cue, routine, reward. Instead of “trying to break the habit,” we look for the specific part of the loop you can interrupt, replace, or remove. Finally, we use a Ulysses contract style pre-commitment to stop relying on in-the-moment willpower and start building accountability that makes the right choice the path of least resistance.

What does the research actually say about how to achieve your goals — and why does willpower alone so reliably fail?Let's break it down with seven evidence-based frameworks from psychology and behavioral science, each paired with a concrete action step you can use this week.

675. Is BMI actually a "myth," or are you just using your muscle mass as an excuse to skip cardio? This week, in an episode that ran first in April 2024, host Kevin Don tackles the controversial debate surrounding the Body Mass Index (BMI). While athletes and powerlifters often dismiss BMI as irrelevant to the muscular, Kevin explains why it remains a vital screening tool—provided you have the "missing piece" of the puzzle: waist circumference.

Get Dr. Vonda's latest insights on strength, bone health, longevity, and aging with power delivered straight to your inbox. Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity   I've spent years focusing on your external mobility, but I've become obsessed with the world living inside you. We used to think of the gut as just a digestion tube; now we know it's a thriving ecosystem and a metabolic pharmacy that dictates your weight, mood, and longevity. If you're doing "everything right" but still struggling with energy, the issue isn't your willpower, it's your microbiome.   In this episode, I sit down with researcher Dr. Karen Corbin to decode the gut's "black box." We're moving beyond basic digestion to explore how fiber triggers the same satiety hormones as modern weight-loss injections. Stop viewing food as mere calories and start seeing it as fuel for your internal garden. It's time to stop fighting your biology and start partnering with your bacteria to design a resilient future from the inside out. What we cover: - How your gut bacteria produce Butyrate, a "magic" compound that heals the gut and lowers inflammation. - The science of how fiber and resistant starch signal your brain to feel full and satisfied. - Why ultra-processed foods are "too easy" for our bodies to digest, leading to metabolic disaster. - Why "industrial milling" is the hidden enemy of metabolic health, turning even "healthy" grains into rapid glucose spikes by making them too easy to digest. - Why your choices at dinner determine your blood sugar response to breakfast the next morning, proving that your microbiome works on a 12-to-24-hour cycle. - Understanding that because every person's "internal garden" is unique, the same "healthy" food can cause a sugar spike in one person while keeping another perfectly stable. - Exploring the deep connection between the health of your microbiome and the energy-producing engines in your cells that drive your vitality.   About Dr Karen Corbin: Dr. Karen Corbin is a PhD researcher and keynote speaker at the forefront of precision nutrition with Advent Health. She has dedicated her career to decoding the "black box" of the microbiome, revealing how our internal pharmacy dictates metabolic health and longevity.   Connect with Dr Karen Corbin: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/karen-corbin-phd-rd-75229111 Website: https://www.geeksthatspeak.com/ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:46 Meet Your Microbes: The Colon as a Metabolism 'Show' 05:58 How the Microbiome 'Talks' to You: SCFAs, Bloodstream & the Vagus Nerve 09:28 Feed the Good Guys: Fiber, Mucus Barrier & 'Leaky Gut' Explained 14:23 Aging, Exercise, Antibiotics & Hormones: What Changes in Perimenopause 18:27 Prebiotics vs Probiotics vs Synbiotics: Yogurt, Capsules & What Actually Helps 22:24 Can You Test Your Microbiome?

What if your pursuit of happiness is the very thing making you miserable? It sounds counterintuitive, right? We live in a world obsessed with happiness. But chasing happiness is a trap. On today's episode, I'm breaking down why the pursuit of happiness often backfires and what you can do instead to build a life that feels truly fulfilling. Some of the things I talk about are: Why treating happiness like a goal sets you up for disappointment The science behind the "happiness trap" and how it makes you lonelier How hedonic adaptation keeps you chasing the next thing Why embracing all your emotions—even the uncomfortable ones—leads to a richer life Four things you can do to stop chasing happiness and start living meaningfully Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we dive into seven evidence-backed principles that transform your physiology to build a faster marathon. We explore how high mileage functions as a "neuromuscular rewiring" tool to turn your legs into mechanical springs, increasing tendon stiffness and lowering oxygen cost. You will learn how to master metabolic flexibility to burn fat at higher speeds, the latest research on the 90-gram carbohydrate fueling revolution, and why high-load strength training is essential for biomechanical efficiency. We also provide updates and expert insights on the benefits of "super shoes," the critical role of deep sleep in recovery, and the performance-optimizing power of the 80/20 polarized training model to keep you informed on the latest in running and competitive sports.Why You Should Listen:Our guest this episode: MarathonJournal.com

What if the most important work you do this year has nothing to do with fixing, achieving, or proving and everything to do with how you relate to yourself? In today's episode, I'm bringing us back to the heart of the work. Amid all the noise, trends, and viral advice, I'm sharing the grounded, science-backed truth about what actually builds real self-love and self-worth. If 2026 has started off feeling heavy, overwhelming, or like you're already behind, this episode will help you reset your foundation and reconnect to what truly matters.Inside the Episode:Why real self-worth is built through trust with yourself, not achievements, productivity, or external validationThe five core practices that create emotional safety, self-confidence, and secure relationshipsHow healing your self-worth naturally leads to healthier boundaries, assertive communication, and deeper connectionIf this episode resonates, and you know you're ready to stop doing this work alone, I want to personally invite you to apply to the Empowered.Secure.Loved. Program. This is where we go deep—healing self-worth, attachment patterns, and the relationship you have with yourself so you can finally experience secure, fulfilling love.✨ We are officially closing applications by Monday, January 12.

Ever felt that electric energy ripple through a crowd at a concert, sports game, or peaceful protest? That's not just your imagination—it's collective effervescence, and it's something we're deeply wired for as humans. In this episode, we'll dive into the fascinating science behind why gathering together matters for our mental health, especially in our increasingly isolated modern world. French sociologist Émile Durkheim coined this term over 100 years ago, nearly a century before we could take all of our gatherings online. Even then, Durkheim noticed that folks were missing some of these necessary experiences in their lives. The good news is there are lots of diverse ways to experience more collective effervescence (e.g., concerts, grief groups, sports events, game nights, book clubs, weddings, funerals, and fitness classes). We'll talk more about how to incorporate these experiences into your daily life and some of the obstacles that might pop up.

No one tells you that after weaning, your hormones can crash so hard it feels like you're drowning in your own body. One week post-breastfeeding, I hit a wall of exhaustion and sadness I never saw coming until I discovered it's a real, biological phenomenon called post-weaning hormonal withdrawal.In this episode, I share my personal journey through the emotional and physical rollercoaster of weaning, unpack the science behind why these symptoms hit so hard, and reveal the actionable steps, supplements, and mindset shifts that helped me finally find relief. If you're a mom (or know one) preparing to drop those last feeds, this is the reality check and survival guide nobody talks about.You'll leave this episode feeling validated, informed, and ready to navigate weaning with clarity and confidence—no more shame, fear, or confusion about the wild ride your hormones take.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if everything Big Pharma told you about testosterone was a lie designed to hook you for life? In this explosive episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with fitness beast Chris Kruger on why TRT is a scam that shrinks your gonads, accelerates aging, and crushes fertility—while natural hacks can DOUBLE your T-levels without a single jab.    Chris breaks it down: Why TRT is basically "testicle replacement therapy" that ages you faster and kills your fertility. Instead, live the "High Testosterone Life" with his CORE FOUR formula — Beast. Feast. Fast. Sleep. From doubling your T-levels without shots to why "eat less, move more" is total BS – this convo is packed with game-changing insights. Brad even calls in his concierge doc, Dr. David Boyd, for a LIVE debate: TRT vs. Natural – who wins? Plus, real talk on aging, fertility, and why most guys are tanking their hormones without knowing it. If you're over 30, feeling low-energy, or skeptical of elite-pushed drugs—this is your wake-up call to truth and peak performance. Brad's ready to guinea-pig it himself... will you?  

What if I told you that real confidence is available to all of us? That, based on the research, anyone can learn to be magnetic and unstoppable. In this episode, I get into all the data around confidence, like the "Pratt Fall Effect," and share easy ways to become more empowered and sure of yourself, like the "Menu Trick" (+ so much more). You'll walk away with the tools to go after what you want AND become the person you want to be.

Are you thriving, or do you feel like you are barely surviving? If you feel stuck in survival mode, you are not alone. It is common, but you don't have to stay there. Survival mode is helpful in a crisis. But staying stuck there too long can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and unable to enjoy life fully. Fortunately, there are strategies that can help you escape survival mode so you can start to thrive. Some of the things I discuss today are: The five warning signs that you're stuck in survival mode. The mistakes that keep you stuck in survival mode. Why survival mode feels so normal — and how to break the cycle. How small, intentional changes can help you shift gears and build emotional resilience. The role your environment plays in staying stuck. The surprising ways fun, creativity, and connection can help you thrive. Simple strategies to calm your nervous system and regain control. The most important thing you can do today to break free.
