Can 75 days really change your health — and your habits for good?

Dr. Clayton Dir, physical therapist and host of Heal Without Harm, just completed a modified version of 75 Hard alongside friends, his wife, and a Facebook community of over 300 people — and the results go far beyond the scale.

In this episode, Dr. Dir breaks down exactly what the modified 75-day challenge looked like, why they changed the original 75 Hard rules, and what 75 days of consistent discipline actually taught him about diet, accountability, and building habits that last. After 75 days, he lost 20 pounds, dropped his 5K pace to a sub-8-minute mile, lowered his resting heart rate, improved his sleep, and reduced his body fat — with blood lab results coming later in the week.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What 75 Hard is and how to modify it to fit real life (especially if you have kids)
• The #1 excuse most people make about their diet — and how to catch yourself making it
• Why portion control is harder than most fitness advice admits
• How to build a sustainable meal system around your lifestyle instead of fighting it
• Why accountability is the missing ingredient for most people trying to build discipline
• The one thing Dr. Dir recommends if you want to start building discipline this week

Whether you've tried 75 Hard before, are curious about starting a health challenge, or just want to stop spinning your wheels and actually build lasting habits — this episode gives you a real, honest roadmap from someone who did the work.
