277 | Do These Diet Apps Really Work? How Dr. Kyra Bobinet is Making Lasting Changes

Diet apps and mindset. Let's dive into how Dr. Kyra is bridging the gap between technology and mindset to promote true behaviour change. As a medical doctor, she rediscovered the need for expertise and action regarding behaviour change. With an emphasis on the Habenula, a part of the brain associated with the "failure" mindset, she discusses the dual function of the Habenula and how to avoid its stimulation. With the Habenula as the underlying theme of this discussion, she distinguishes the iterative mindset from the performance mindset, further speaking into resilience, GRIT, self-efficacy and competence as an outcome. Finally, she dives into the intricacies of her app and how it promotes the iterative mindset, guides individuals along a path to success, targets expectations, and gets individuals to reach the depths of their intentions and "why."
