Summary

What bad habit do you want to break?

What’s a health tip you no longer trust?

Today, Jay welcomes back Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, a UK-based physician, bestselling author, and podcast host, to discuss his latest book, Make Change That Lasts. Known for his holistic approach to health and wellness, Dr. Chatterjee shares nine transformative strategies to foster sustainable change in daily life, offering a blueprint for physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The conversation explores why many health and lifestyle changes fail to stick, diving into the importance of self-awareness and the power of mindset. Dr. Chatterjee recounts how Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms rather than promoting vitality, advocating for a harmonious blend of Western science and Eastern wisdom. He emphasizes the role of lifestyle choices—nutrition, movement, sleep, and even mindset—in shaping our health.

Jay and Rangan tap into practical tools and methods for understanding and addressing emotional triggers behind habits. They stress the significance of environment and relationships in fostering or sabotaging personal growth. Dr. Chatterjee also challenges the notion of harsh self-discipline, advocating instead for compassion, curiosity, and self-trust as the cornerstones of lasting change. 

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Build Habits That Stick

How to Create a Supportive Environment for Change

How to Reframe Negative Inner Narratives

How to Trust Yourself Instead of External Advice

How to Manage Stress with Mindset Shifts

How to Take Control of Your Health with Simple Choices

Change doesn’t have to feel like an uphill battle—it can be an act of self-love and empowerment. Trust yourself, listen to your inner wisdom, and approach each step of your journey with patience and grace.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
