How does exercise compare to therapy and medication for mental health?
Now, this episode is brought to you by some sponsors. The first one is Juve. This is red light therapy that actually works. So the data shows how effective red light therapy is for skin health and appearance recovery. for injuries and pain. It really does work. The data is clear, but the studies use a certain type of red light. Juve has that. Other red light therapy panels are typically crap.
What role does physical health play in fitness consistency?
They don't have the same red lights. You're just shining, literally just shining a red light on you and getting no effects. It's not the case with Juve.

We looked at all the surveys and data and we found the top five reasons why people are able to stay consistent consistently. With the workouts, and we're going to talk about them right now. Does that include – so like would this be on there? Habit stacking. Is that on there?
It's not. It's not. No, so these are reasons. I'm going to pull them up. These are reasons why people – Like, what are they writing down in terms of, you know, what keeps them consistent? And what you find in the data is, number one, and this is obvious, you guys, is enjoyment. Oh, okay. At the top of the list. Because they enjoy doing it. Yeah, that they actually like the workout. And I think this is, it sounds obvious, you know, once we talk about it, but so many people go into working out hating it. Yeah. With the mindset that they're going to hate it. that they never get out of that mindset. And look, I don't care how good something is for you. If you hate it, trying to do that for the rest of your life, like, good luck.
It's just not going to happen. Yeah, long term is just a terrible strategy. And do you believe that that's something that you can change? Yeah. Well, I'll ask you, Adam, because we've talked about this before with jobs.
