What if some of the health choices you think you’re making freely have actually been nudged along long before you make them?

In this episode, we explore how advertising, repetition, convenience, habits, stress, social norms and the environment around us can influence everything from food cravings to exercise — often without us consciously noticing. And it all starts with Juli’s unexpected holiday obsession with Haribo…

Rather than blaming every less-than-perfect choice on a lack of willpower, we look at what happens when we get curious about the chain of events that led to it. Because the best place to change a behaviour is often much earlier than the moment you find yourself standing in front of the fridge, opening the wine or abandoning the workout.

We introduce our Break the Chain exercise: a simple coaching tool for working backwards through a recurring behaviour, spotting the triggers and patterns that precede it, and finding the easiest link in the chain to change.
