Manage episode 504471107 series 3637603
If your habits are inconsistent and your energy constantly dips, the issue might not be your willpower. it might be your nutrition.
In this episode of The Habit Architect, Michael Cupps speaks with registered dietitian Marissa Dankosky from Foodsmart about how food choices impact focus, consistency, and long-term habit formation.
They explore the real reasons it’s hard to stick to healthy routines—and why your favorite FoodTok advice might be making it harder, not easier.
This isn’t a conversation about diets or discipline. It’s about realistic, sustainable shifts that support your goals, especially when burnout, travel, or a busy schedule get in the way.
