What the book teaches

🎯

Identity-Based Health Habits

Discover how to shift your identity to become a healthier person — not just someone who follows a diet. Learn why "I am someone who prioritizes my health" is more powerful than any goal.

🔄

The Health Habit Loop

Apply the four laws of behavior change — Cue, Craving, Response, Reward — specifically to health habits like exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management.

📉

Breaking Unhealthy Patterns

Use the inversion of the four laws to break bad health habits. Make unhealthy choices invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying.

📈

The 1% Health Improvement

Understand how improving your health by just 1% each day compounds into transformative results over weeks and months. Small changes, remarkable outcomes.

Key Concepts

01

Habit Stacking for Health

Link new health habits to existing routines. After your morning coffee, do 5 minutes of stretching. After brushing your teeth, drink a glass of water. Build an unbreakable chain of healthy behaviors.

02

Environment Design for Wellness

Redesign your environment to make healthy choices the default. Place workout clothes by your bed, keep fruits visible on the counter, and remove junk food from sight. Your environment shapes your habits more than willpower ever will.

03

The Two-Minute Health Rule

Start every health habit in under two minutes. "Go to the gym" becomes "put on your gym shoes." "Eat healthy" becomes "eat one piece of fruit." Master the art of showing up before optimizing.

04

Tracking Your Health Progress

Use habit tracking to maintain your health streak. Never miss twice — if you skip a workout, make the next one non-negotiable. Visual progress creates momentum and motivation.

05

The Plateau of Latent Potential

Understand why health improvements seem invisible at first. You may not see results for weeks, but your body is changing beneath the surface. Trust the process and stay consistent through the valley of disappointment.

06

Temptation Bundling for Exercise

Pair activities you need to do with activities you want to do. Only listen to your favorite podcast while walking. Only watch your favorite show while on the treadmill. Make health habits irresistible.

Who Is This For?

Struggling to Stay Consistent

You start strong with health goals but fade after a few weeks. This protocol teaches you systems that make consistency automatic, not effortful.

Overwhelmed by Health Advice

There's too much conflicting health information out there. This protocol cuts through the noise by focusing on the process of building habits, not specific diets or routines.

Want Lasting Transformation

You're tired of quick fixes and yo-yo results. This protocol is built on the science of behavior change for sustainable, long-term health improvements.
