What if fitness, food, and stress weren’t about discipline, but about behavior?

This week, Liat sits down with Brittnay Duguay, BCBA, functional nutritionist, IFBB Bikini Pro, and founder of Better Habits by Britt, to talk about why most wellness plans (and your New Year’s resolutions) fail, and how behavior science can actually make habits stick. From undoing diet culture and perfectionism to breaking down why “starting on Monday” is a total behavior trap, Brittnay shows how ABA principles apply way beyond the clinic and straight into real life.

If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time,” spiraled after one off day, or wondered why you can’t stick to your routine, this episode is for you.
