The Michael Krug Podcast Show
Join my free Inspired Well-being community on Skool: I have had several people request that I do a "what I eat in a day" video, so here it is. I recorded this on Wednesday, July 24th 2024.

5. Why Spring is the Best Time to Start Your Health Journey
The Michael Krug Podcast Show
New Year's resolutions are overrated... The days are shorter, it's cold outside (especially in Minnesota), and the motivation is all externally driven from the culture telling us we "should" change our lives at arguably the toughest time of year... Spring, however, is a time of new birth, growth, and emergence - not only for humans but for the entire planet. In this episode, I break down why Spring is the best time of year to make changes to your behaviors and start a lifelong journey of health and well-being.
