New Year, new you, right? We’ve all felt that irresistible pull to start January with grand resolutions: adopting a strict diet, committing to an intense workout regimen, or deciding to completely overhaul our lives. But let’s be honest—how many of those bold plans actually survive past February?

As a dietitian with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen this pattern unfold countless times. It’s not failure; it’s just human nature. We’re wired to crave fresh starts and big changes, especially when a new year rolls around. But, it's not realistic, and it’s certainly not sustainable. Falling short of these massive goals doesn’t mean you lack willpower or discipline; it just means the approach might need to be gentler and more aligned with how change actually happens: slowly and step-by-step.

In this episode, we join Juna Gjata and Dr. Eddie Phillips, hosts of "Food, We Need to Talk". These two are experts in making health and nutrition feel approachable.We'll be discussing powerful insights on why resolutions fail and how to make sustainable habits stick.
