Do you ever try to quit something you love—only to find yourself missing something and wanting to dive right back in?
What if instead of giving up entirely, you learned how to keep the essence — the part of the habit you really enjoy — and transform it into something healthier? In this episode, I'll introduce you to a powerful strategy to help you shift gently away from habits that aren’t serving you, while preserving the feeling, sensory element, or ritual that gives it meaning.
- Learn how to identify the “essence” of a habit (flavor, feeling, ritual, sensory cues)
- Discover practical swaps and experiments (e.g. fancy glass + sparkling water instead of wine)
- Understand why this method works: it keeps the cue and the emotional reward, reduces loss, and leverages cognitive flexibility
Press play for help to identify one habit you’d like to change and make it possible.
Note: The Habit Hub for Autoimmune Health is now Autoimmune Health Secrets—same mission to help you feel better and function better using habits that are enjoyable, effective, and (together we make them) inevitable.

This podcast explores health and wellness through the lens of autoimmune disease—multiple sclerosis (MS) and others—diving into how challenges like fatigue, brain fog, flares, and other symptoms related to the nervous system, inflammation, and mitochondria can be supported by healthy habits in food, movement, sleep, and rest, while fostering consistency, effective self-care, and a resilient mindset. If you’ve read the bestseller Atomic Habits by James Clear and still don’t have the healthy habits you want, this show is for you. Adjacent to functional medicine, holistic health, the AIP diet, and the Wahls Protocol, the podcast offers guidance from a health and wellness coach to help those navigating chronic illness feel better and thrive.
