So you can try every January to change things, but if you don't fundamentally change how you see yourself, how you value yourself, as you say, living in alignment, you may find that that's the reason you can't make these habits stick because there's a slight disconnect.

Your behavior matches your beliefs.

You know, how you view yourself, the identity which you hold has certain behaviors that are attached to it.

The only way, you know, and I think...

this doesn't get spoken about enough because it's much easier to talk about, you know, little tricks for habits.

And I do as well.

And they're helpful.

Up to a point.

We'll come back to your personal story maybe a bit later.

I do wanna talk about practical things that people can do when it comes to improving the health of their immune system.

Because as we've already said, the immune system sits at the heart.

are probably everything you want from your health.

You can make a case that good immune system health is necessary for that.

We just spoke there about identities.

So why don't we start by talking about self-compassion, how we talk to ourselves, because there's some really interesting researches there showing how people who are more compassionate to themselves have better functioning of their immune system.

Hey guys, just taking a quick break from this week's episode to ask you a small favor.

On this show, I'm always looking to improve things, make sure I'm booking the most interesting guests, having conversations about the right topics and building relationships with the most aligned sponsors.

But in order to do this, my team and I need to know a little bit more about you.

So we have created a super short survey that I would dearly love you to fill out.

It will only take you about two minutes to do so, and I would honestly really appreciate it.
