About this episode

What this episode covers

We all like to think that logic drives our choices, but when it comes to health, fitness, and weight loss, emotion and belief are often in charge.

In this episode of The Resilient Life, Chris Deavin, health coach and creator of The W.I.S.D.O.M Program, explores why simply knowing what to eat or how to train isn’t enough.

He explains how deeply held beliefs, social influence, and fear of standing apart from others can stop us from doing what we already know will help us.

You’ll learn:

* Why facts and evidence rarely change behaviour (and what does)

* How to identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs about health and ageing

* The powerful link between resilience, mindset, and lasting consistency

* How to reshape your environment so it supports your goals instead of sabotaging them

Because before you can change your body, you have to change what you believe about what’s possible.

What’s Your Perfect Diet, Exercise Plan & Sleep Routine?

I believe that one-size-fits-all health advice doesn’t work.

Everyone has a unique mindset when it comes to maintaining healthy habits, and understanding yours is the key to success.

That’s why I’ve developed a science-backed approach to tailor diet, fitness, sleep, and lifestyle plans to your individual consistency style.

By identifying whether you’re a Type A (Highly Consistent), Type B (Moderately Consistent), or Type C (Hardly Consistent) personality, I create a plan that’s not only effective but also sustainable for you.

Ready to discover your consistency type and unlock a health plan tailored to you?

My Healthy Habits Mindset Assessment takes just a few minutes and provides instant insights into your personality type. From there, I’ll recommend a diet, fitness, sleep, and lifestyle plan that fits your life like a glove.

Why a simple plan beats an optimal one

For most professionals the constraint is implementation, not knowledge. Reducing the number of decisions usually does more for results than adding detail.
