Marv lays the foundation for the show’s focus this year. Instead of starting with diets, gym memberships, or sugar detoxes, he kicks things off with mindset and happiness, drawing from a research-based article on the seven secrets to happiness.
You’ll hear how tiny, everyday choices—checking in with a friend, taking a short walk outside, pausing to enjoy a quiet meal, or volunteering in a way that matters to you—slowly “upgrade” your happiness sources. The episode wraps with a powerful reminder: if your life feels miserable, your health plan doesn’t stand a chance, so your job is to find one way to be happy on purpose and let your health grow from there.
