In this podcast I discuss five cognitive biases that are potentially harming your health - and no, this is not a clickbait title.
We kick off by exploring the concept of cognitive biases - those systematic deviations in judgment that often lead us astray.
Then, I dive into five specific cognitive biases that frequently sabotage health goals. From the Anchoring Bias, which makes us cling to initial information (like outdated fitness myths), to the Halo Effect, where we blindly trust attractive individuals as reliable sources of health advice. I also cover the Action Bias, the Empathy Gap, and the Fundamental Attribution Error, each offering a unique lens on why we often struggle with health and fitness endeavours.
To wrap up, I provide practical tips for recognising and dismantling these biases, empowering you to make more informed decisions about your health, relationships, and life.
Join me for a thought-provoking journey into the psychology behind our health choices, promising insights that can lead to real, positive changes in your life.
