Most long-term health success comes from boring, repeatable habits.
In this episode, I talk about something that sounds simple but is incredibly powerful: consistency and persistence.
When it comes to health, most of the outcomes we admire later in life are not the result of extreme effort or dramatic sacrifice. They come from small, repeatable habits done over many years. This is hard to appreciate when you are younger because it is difficult to imagine yourself decades into the future.
I share examples from health, business, athletics, and my own experience with rock climbing to explain how progress often feels slow or even invisible for long stretches of time. Many people quit right before momentum builds.
Showing up does not mean performing at your best every time. It means continuing even when progress stalls, motivation fades, or results feel disappointing. When you stop, you restart. You do not disappear for years.
I also share a client story about meal preparation and how consistency turned something he believed was impossible into a simple, automatic habit.
Health habits work the same way. You go to the gym. You get on the bike. You climb. You cook. You do it even when you do not feel like it. Over time, the friction fades and the habit takes over.
This episode is a reminder that long-term health is not built through intensity. It is built through persistence.
