It's in some way related to our collective modern lifestyles. I'm not putting blame on people, Chris, when I say that. I'm just saying the way we live, the food environment, our sedentary jobs, the chronic stress, the rates of burnout, sleep deprivation, the environmental toxins, whatever it might be, it's causing us to be sick.

And one thing I've realized, Chris, I really think this holds true in every situation. It's not the behavior. It's the energy behind the behavior. And I actually genuinely believe that every single behavior either comes from the energy of fear or the energy of love. Now that may sound really spiritual and I am becoming more spiritual as I get older.

But I think too, you know, although you're an American now, although you live in America now, you're still a Brit by birth, right?

Right? So this idea of love and that we can love ourselves is quite an alien concept, I think, in the UK. We don't like to say that. But I can, on this mic in front of you today, say, although I still struggle to say it, right? I was going to initially say, look, I really quite like myself. But dare I say, I love myself, not in a narcissistic way. Like I'm clear on what my values are.

My three core values are integrity, curiosity, and compassion. Those are the three values I believe represent who I am and who I would like to be. So I regularly assess in the evenings, maybe on a Sunday, how much of this week, Rangan, were you in alignment with your values? When did you behave? When did you not behave, for example?

And when you get to that point, you find that everything within you is quite aligned. So behaviour change becomes quite easy because when I used to struggle with behaviour change, it was because the behaviours were coming from an energy of fear. So what does that mean? Guilt, shame, I'm not good enough. What do most people do in January or whenever they're trying to make change?

They're trying to overcome the person who they think that they are. A lot of the time in January, they're beating themselves up, Chris. They're like, I'm not good enough. My stomach's not flat enough. I'm not enough. Let me beat myself up with my behaviours to overcome that. That works for a few weeks. It might work for a few months, but in my clinical experience, it never works in the long term.
