It's so exciting to be here.
I am so excited because I really want to make being super fit and healthier and happier easy. And I do believe that you can help me change my mindset. So here's how I want to start. Could you tell the person listening, how would my life be different? How might it be better if I take all of this amazing research and all the tools you're about to teach us and I just apply it to my life? What's going to happen?
So, Mel, my life's work as an academic, but also as a human, is to understand the power of the human mind, right? So I think we all know this, right?
How do my thoughts about exercise and food affect my health?
There is this power of belief, of mindset, and the people who are listening to your show are especially clued into this fact. But I'd like to go a little deeper and be a little bit more specific, right? So when we say things like, oh, just believe, or think positive, or change your mindset, what do we really mean?
I don't know. I'm hoping you're going to tell me because I think that a lot of us do feel like, okay, I just have to believe, but you're here to teach us, no, there's actually something deeper and there's something more accessible.
Yeah, I think we need to be more specific. So say you have something stressful on the horizon, like a job interview, or say you're trying to lose weight or get healthier, or say you were just diagnosed with cancer or some other health diagnosis.
