055: Making Behavior Change Simple And Sustainable With Linda Fogg-Phillips

What if the secret to lasting change isn't willpower or motivation, but understanding the simple science of how habits actually form in your brain? In this episode of the Health and Wellness Marketing Show, Uli Iserloh sat down with Linda Fogg-Phillips, Director of the Tiny Habits Academy and renowned behavior change expert who has coached over 15,000 individuals. As a mother of eight and sister to Stanford's Dr. BJ Fogg, Linda shares the scientifically-proven Tiny Habits method that creates lasting change without relying on motivation or willpower. From overcoming personal tragedies including her son's death and husband's early-onset Alzheimer's, to helping professionals transform their clients' lives, Linda reveals how the ABC framework (Anchor, Behavior, Celebration) can create automatic behaviors in as little as five days. If you're a health practitioner struggling to help clients stick to their treatment plans, or someone who's tired of failed New Year's resolutions and wants to understand the real science behind sustainable change, this conversation provides the missing piece that connects all the dots.
