Why Habits Shape Your Health—and Your Life More Than You Think

Welcome to the relaunch of Master Your Habits, Health & Life.

In this foundational episode, Dr. Adarsh Gupta reintroduces the podcast, explains its evolution, and shares why habits—not motivation—shape your health, consistency, and long-term success more than you think.

This episode sets the stage for the entire season by introducing the science of habit formation and the core framework that will guide all future episodes: The Habit Cycle—Trigger, Craving, Action, and Reward.

If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent despite knowing what to do, this episode will change how you think about change itself.
