And he came in to see me a few weeks later. He goes, I feel like a completely different person, right? I'm better at work now. I have more concentration, more focus.

Sometimes you're eating the wrong thing, which is making you hungry.

So literally that one change for him taught him how important it was to start his day with these one ingredient foods. And then what's so important about that, Mel, is that he is paying attention to how he feels. So then what happens later is that he wants to continue doing that, not because I asked him to, because something else has happened. He has felt the difference.

And that's always been my approach. You can take alcohol, right? Or caffeine, the sort of things people are always struggling with. My job with a patient has never, ever been to tell them you must give up alcohol or you must give up smoking or whatever it might be. My job has always been to show that person what impact it's having.

And so I think one of the reasons I've always had really good compliance with my patients is I don't talk down to them. I see them as equal partners and I say, hey, listen, I think this is what's going on. Why don't you experiment this way and see how that feels? Does that all make sense, Mel?

One of the reasons that people struggle, Mel, to make changes that last is because too often they try and change the behavior without understanding the role that behavior plays in their life.

So let's take a typical scenario that I've seen thousands of times in my practice and maybe you've experienced before, Mel. I've not been to your house, so I don't know if you've experienced this, but a lot of people, when they're trying to reset their relationship with sugar, find that they can be really good in the day.
