In Episode 274 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi concludes his 3-part series on the art of health—shifting the focus from knowing what to do to actually staying consistent for life.
You’ll learn why most people fail by chasing extreme “accelerators” without first building stable anchors, and how simple, identity-based routines create momentum even when motivation is low. Dr. Anthony breaks down real-world examples across nutrition, movement, sleep, mindset, and recovery—plus how to wisely deploy accelerators when the season is right.
If you’ve ever felt stuck restarting your health journey, this episode gives you a lifelong framework for working with your body instead of fighting it.
