We’ve all been there—changing an old habit or creating a new one can be challenging. And we often incorporate our lack of success at habit change into part of our identity and feeling bad about ourselves. But when we use science to understand the secrets to lasting behavior change, it’s clear there are ways to overcome the struggle and get the results we want. One of those secrets is building off of small changes over time. I did this myself, by doing pushups while I waited for the shower to heat up I went from being able to do one to now doing 50! Today, I talk to Dr. BJ Fogg about the science of lasting behavior change and the success he’s seen in those who’ve used his system.
Dr. Fogg is a behavior scientist with deep experience in innovation and teaching. For the past 20 years at Stanford University, he has directed a research lab and he also teaches his models and methods in graduate seminars. BJ has personally coached over 40,000 people in forming new habits, using his breakthrough method called “Tiny Habits.” His New York Times bestselling book, Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything, was published in early 2020 and is contracted to be published in over 25 languages.

I will like you, to talk regarding the new covid vaccine, I know is going to be difficult but I want to know your opinion
Besides that I bought the book and read it and tried < for me did not work out so well because I think the successful part was my weakness as I tried to do little exercise but did not see a difference, was I got was pain , so i think that all the knowledge that have been talked in those types of courses or books just refer to healthy people . I would like something or some program in sick people like me for example that have vestibular migraine , or have many injuries traying to exercise. I am so dissapointed of my body and myself , I can not do almost anything . And the worst part is that I have been with 3 different integrative docs , spend a lot of money and did not helped . Unfortunately Hyman does not see first time patients. So is hard to even know where to go. Because in the Integrative medicine there are a lot of bad doctors too.
I found out in August that I had become diabetic so I came off the sugars and refined carbohydrates and started intermittent fasting. I used to have 3 to 4 migraines a week so I was on some Beta blockers, not to eradicate the migraines, because I still wanted to know how many I was having, but just to reduce them to a level where I could cope with my days. However, since I got rid of the sugar and carbs the migraines have completely disappeared. I had confirmation that the cause was definitely the sugar and carbs because for four days over Christmas I allowed myself to eat what I pleased and for the latter three days of those I had migraines. As soon as I quit the sugar and carbs again the migraines went again.
I would like him to talk regarding how to choose a good integrative doc , of course besides his clinic which is too expensive right now for me .
