Healthy Her

In this Best-of Summer Series of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips and neuroscientist Paul Taylor discuss the proven strategies to hack your brain into feeling more motivated. These strategies are based on research around the neuroscience of behaviour change, and when done correctly will make exercise (or at least getting out the door TO exercise) feel a whole lot easier.

Amelia is joined by best friends Di Edwards and Nicola Dale, who met over the back fence on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and later turned their heart-to-heart chats into the hit podcast Over the Back Fence.
