AdapNation: all things Self-Optimisation!
Health & Fitness
Today, we’re joined by Tom Bainbridge who talks through the fascinating topic of eating habits, cravings, addictions, decision making and controlling our food environment. Getting your head around this topic could have a huge impact not only on your body goals, but how you go about managing your life through good habits whilst replacing bad habits and cravings.
Of course, resolve and having a strong enough why is the driving force behind sustained commitment to change,but, at a physiological and hormonal level our subconscious is being directed to act in ways that could be detrimental to our goals. And these evolutionary hard wired instincts have a LOT of force on our voluntary action. So, whilst mind-over-matter has it’s place for sure, we can massively help ourselves by setting up for success physically and environmentally...
