<p>Most of us know what we should do to be healthier: eat better, move more, sleep well. The real challenge? Actually following through.</p>
<p>On today’s show, I talk to behavioral psychologist Amantha Imber, author of <a href="https://amzn.to/3MwRx8p"><em>The Health Habit</em></a>, who argues that the missing piece in most health advice isn’t more information — it’s learning how to bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.</p>
<p>Amantha first outlines four “habit hijackers” that sabotage your best-laid plans and shares practical, research-backed tactics to overcome each one. We then dive into some specific health habits that will give you a lot of transformative bang for your buck. We discuss how restricting your sleep can help you sleep better, the truth about the popular 10,000 steps a day recommendation, the underrated power of an after-dinner walk, and more.</p>
