In this episode, Dr. Connie Cheung breaks down the real reason change doesn't stick, and it has nothing to do with willpower, motivation, or discipline.

True, sustainable change is not a mindset issue.

It's a physiological and nervous system issue.

Drawing from decades in health, wellness, functional medicine, physical therapy, psychology, and somatic work, this conversation explores:

• Why New Year's resolutions fail the body

• How behavior is driven by nervous system state

• The role of the brain in survival vs. growth

• How chronic stress dysregulates gut, hormones, and focus

• Why external advice (especially social media influence) keeps people stuck

• The difference between forcing change and regulating the system

• Why regulation must come before rewiring

This episode introduces a radically different way to approach the New Year—one rooted in truth, internal regulation, and systems-based healing, rather than pressure or self-blame.

This conversation also serves as the runway into the upcoming free 3-part training:
