1 in 3 American adults uses a wearable health device. Yet, 60% of us are fighting a battle against chronic disease. It doesn't add up. More in today's newsletter:

Your sleep score: help or hindrance for longevity? Here's how I leverage wearables (without sacrificing intuition) with coaching clients:

You're counting calories. Counting macros. Weighing your food. So that the next time you weigh yourself... You tip the scale a little less than last time. And it's probably working. Losing .5-2 pounds per week. Without Ozempic. You're training 2x/day. You don't spend much time doing anything else, but hey, if this is what it takes, right? People are starting to ask how you did it! Deep down, though, you know that this isn't sustainable. You're not taking your food scale on the family road trip. And packing a salad with chicken breast to eat while your friends have pizza night is a buzzkill. This is exactly what "Megan" had gone through. She lost 30+ lbs using the methods above. Then she regained it all. Now, she's losing it again. While working 5 days/week and raising 3 kids. It can be done, folks. We've implemented sustainable nutrition protocols. Low-friction training plans. It's easier. And more effective. ___________________ I'm Marcus--health coach who has helped 300+ patients lock in healthy habits as a Mayo Clinic Health Coach.

“Marcus isn’t going to like this one.” I was on a call earlier today.  Someone was finishing a sandwich on sourdough bread. Made the above comment. Not sure why I wouldn’t like it. Sourdough, made the right way, is a great idea.  Organic flour.  Homemade starter.  Lots of love.  More in today's newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gHaR8-Gh

66 days. It's the average amount of time required to build a new habit. In reality, though, it can take anywhere from 18-252 days. It's why I like to work with clients for a minimum of 3 months. Behavior change is hard. Takes time. Often looks like the sketch below. Raises the question... Is your fitness routine sustainable? https://lnkd.in/gEm-pfU2
