Jan 31

In Episode 174 of the Real World Nutrition Podcast, Shelley explores the idea of “Small Changes, Big Health Impacts,” building on episode 173, discussing the power of accountability in wellness. Many people fail to achieve their health goals because they aim too high and take on too much all at once. This can lead to frustration and burnout, ultimately derailing progress.

Shelley dives into why slow and steady wins the race, illustrating how small, intentional steps can lead to significant results. Small changes form the foundation of sustainable habits, from eating healthier and exercising more to running a marathon.

This episode includes practical examples, such as setting realistic SMART goals and breaking large objectives into manageable steps. Shelley also shares her personal story of struggling with a 5K to successfully run a marathon, all by starting with small, consistent changes.

Whether you aim to eat better, move more, or improve your overall wellness, this episode offers actionable tips to help you start small, stay consistent, and achieve big results. Tune in for inspiration and practical strategies to make meaningful progress on your health journey!
