Struggling to persist with your thyroid health routine—no matter how much you want to feel better? It’s not just about discipline. There’s often a deeper reason you keep falling off track.
In this conversation, functional medicine practitioner Leigh Brandon breaks down why willpower isn’t enough—and what to do instead. He shares the six foundational habits that support your health at the root, from better sleep and hydration to how you think. Leigh also explains how your ‘why’, your values, and even your subconscious childhood beliefs can shape your ability to follow through. Plus, hear about practical tools (like his “Stickability” method) to help you stay consistent, even when life throws curveballs. This episode feels less like a lecture and more like a sit-down with someone who gets it.
If you’re ready to shift from stuck to steady on your thyroid health journey, this is the episode you won’t want to miss, tune in now!
