What is your take overall in how technology has influenced habits in general for
Yeah, I think this the whole concept of habits is fascinating because traditionally a lot of people think, you know, you can brute force something and it's just just about willpower, which obviously is a component, but there's so many different roots and tangents from habits.
And I think my biggest takeaway is that a habit is something downstream of so many different factors you feed into your life.
So
Don't just try to change the actual habit you are trying to change, but all the other lifestyle factors around it.
And that I think that's a helpful model to think about it both for breaking bad habits, but also trying to initiate good ones is kind of my main thing.
Yeah, I always tryna tell people to cut down on their usage of phones and screens, but I'm gonna ask them to make an exception for this specific episode.
So th Ben, thank you so much.

Andrew Jenkinson, thank you so much for joining me.
This is a very topical theme right now.
Weight loss, weight gain, body weight, obesity, especially with the rise of GOP1 medications.
I wanna just rewind a little bit before we get into the nuances of weight loss.
For the best part of ten or twelve years since I was in, you know, even before that, maybe in medical school, I was always trying to lose some bit of weight, you know, weight I accumulated because of stress, overeating, and then, you know, the busy life of being a junior doctor and medical school finals.
And I always ended up losing weight.
And then putting weight back on, losing weight, putting even more weight back on, and I was in this vicious cycle.
I'm a nineties kid.
I grew up in the nineties and in the early nineties and even the early noughties, I was always told that weight loss has some sort of moral value because you're not exercising enough and you're not using enough willpower to just stop eating.
How dangerous is that mindset, do you think, for people who are trying to lose weight?
