The real challenge? Actually following through.<\/p>\n<p>On today\u2019s show, I talk to behavioral psychologist Amantha Imber, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MwRx8p\"><em>The Health Habit<\/em><\/a>, who argues that the missing piece in most health advice isn\u2019t more information \u2014 it\u2019s learning how to bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Amantha first outlines four \u201chabit hijackers\u201d that sabotage your best-laid plans and shares practical, research-backed tactics to overcome each one. We then dive into some specific health habits that will give you a lot of transformative bang for your buck. We discuss how restricting your sleep can help you sleep better, the truth about the popular 10,000 steps a day recommendation, the underrated power of an after-dinner walk, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>Resources Related to the Podcast<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hhabithijacker.scoreapp.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:
