Why Your New Year’s Resolutions Habits Always Fail - Dr Julia Jones

Описание: Dr Julia Jones is a neuroscientist and health researcher exploring why most health and fitness advice fails to create lasting change. She breaks down how habits are actually wired in the brain, why motivation and quick fixes don’t work, and why the popular idea of 28-day habits is misleading. Julia explains the neuroscience of long-term behavior change, the role of accountability and human connection, and why simplifying your approach is the key to building habits that stick.

We also discuss New Year’s resolutions, social media’s impact on health culture, and why the wellness industry is built around short-term results rather than lifelong outcomes. Julia reflects on staying aligned with purpose instead of chasing attention, playing the long game with health, and how small, consistent behaviors protect your future self, even if the rewards aren’t immediate.
