Why Midlife Could Be Your Most Powerful Chapter Yet

Dr. Mark Hyman talks with Mel Robbins about what gets in the way of making changes and what actually helps people follow through. They explore how to start before you feel ready, build an environment that supports your goals, and stop wasting energy on other people's reactions. The conversation also touches on motivating loved ones without controlling them and why having a clear vision for your later years makes everyday health decisions easier. Hyman shares how his own recovery from back surgery gave him direct experience with the small, consistent effort they discuss.
