Most of us know the basics: eat well, move your body, get enough sleep. So why is it still so hard to live a healthy lifestyle?

Dr. Andrew Fix is joined by Dr. Lloyd Glauberman, a psychotherapist with more than 40 years of experience, to talk about why common sense habits have become so difficult to maintain. They explore the idea of “lifestyle intelligence,” a concept rooted in the natural instincts we’re born with, like knowing when we’re hungry or tired, and how those instincts get overwritten by cultural norms, screens, and stress.

Why do we have more information about health than ever, yet obesity rates keep climbing? Why is stress management something we constantly talk about but rarely prioritize? This episode takes a clear-eyed look at how small, daily decisions shape long-term health and why behavior change often feels so hard to sustain.

Dr. Glauberman also shares how his work blends psychology and technology to help people stay on track, starting with a few minutes a day. If you’ve ever felt stuck between knowing what to do and actually doing it, this conversation will hit home.

Quotes

• “Instead of self-esteem, what we really have is selfie-esteem. We have this artificial entity we’ve created that we sell to the public on screen. That’s us now.” (10:35 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman)
• “Everybody on some level understands what’s important… It’s getting them to do these things. So my job is to present information in ways that it is more likely to be understood, stored, and utilized. Because if it’s not utilized, it doesn’t matter.” (30:03 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman)
• “You know what one of the most difficult parts we’ve never spoken a lot to when it comes to people losing weight? …is when they’re successful.” (33:18 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman)
• “The whole idea is you’ve got to get people used to this. There, getting there is part one, staying there is part two.” (34:02 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman)
• “The process of becoming ill or dysfunctional is so slow, so silent… All of that sensory information that will eventually lead to chronic disease is invisible.” (47:12 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman)
• “Life is about what you do most of the time, not all the time.” (52:55 | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman)

“I think the biggest reason I food prep is to stay consistent,” explains host Dr. Andrew. It may not be easy to fit in a nutritious meal when our days get challenging, and we may be tempted to make poor choices. To help combat unhealthy food patterns, Dr. Andrew provides the top reasons to meal prep.

When we have too many food choices, we usually want to make the most fun ones, not necessarily the healthiest. By meal prepping, we can make it easier for ourselves to eat good meals that serve us without consistently testing our willpower. With spices, avocado, and quality ingredients, we can still eat well while practicing the consistency that leads to results.

When your life gets complicated, make sure your food’s not. Learn more about why Dr. Andrew food preps, easy meal ideas, and the time-saving benefits of cooking ahead of time.

Quotes

• “I think the biggest reason I food prep is to stay consistent. And then I know that it’s not the end of the world if I get off track and have some treats or eat some things that might not be serving me.” (2:37-2:50 | Dr. Andrew)

• “It is hard to avoid very tasty things, but it’s easier when you already have a plan for what you’re going to eat, and that plan is already set for you.” (5:47-5:58 | Dr. Andrew)

• “The fewer choices I have to make, the more I can keep that willpower muscle strong.” (13:45-13:49 | Dr. Andrew)

• “I’ve been eating the same lunch for months, and I’m not tired of it yet because it tastes good, I look forward to it, and I know it’s going to taste good. I’ve had it every day. It tasted great yesterday, and I know it’s going to taste good tomorrow.” (16:29-16:42 | Dr. Andrew)

“Functional Medicine gets to the root cause of illness,” explains Dr. Jamie Kyei-Frimpong, Medical Director of Total Vitality Colorado. A retired competitive marathon and ultra-runner, Dr. Jamie’s main passion has always been fitness. Through her own health journey, Dr. Jamie discovered functional medicine, leading her to open Total Vitality.

Due to overtraining, Dr. Jaimie started to notice that she was experiencing a slew of health issues, including weight gain and inflammation. This experience led her to seek a more holistic approach, which allowed her to discover the root of her underlying issues. Now, Dr. Jaimie opened Total Vitality, where she helps others balance their hormones and improve their life.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a fascinating conversation on functional medicine. Learn more about the difference between functional medicine and going to your doctor, the power of peptides, and why providers should lead by example through a healthy lifestyle.

Quotes

• “Functional Medicine gets to the root cause of illness.” (4:31-4:34| Dr. Jamie)

• “I think it’s great when we do something where we’ve had a personal experience because it drives our passion, but it also helps us relate to our patients. I don’t like to give recommendations for things unless I’ve tried them.”  (18:32-18:46 | Dr. Jamie)

• “There are always choices. And I think the biggest thing is advocating for yourself because that’s where people get stuck in the medical system. (44:24-44:33 | Dr. Jamie)

• “When you’re doing functional medicine, every case is different.” (47:33-47:37 | Dr. Jamie)

• “Everything is about trying something and building from there with lifting, changing your diet, anything. It’s just about taking those baby steps. And you’ll never learn if you don’t work on implementing it into your life.” (57:05-57:21 | Dr. Jamie)
