401: How to Break Bad Habits for Good with Thais Gibson

Dr. Steven Gundry | May 5, 2026

Ever feel like you know what to do—eat better, break bad habits, show up differently—but keep falling into the same patterns anyway?

That’s not a discipline issue… It’s your brain running an old, automatic program. And when your nervous system gets triggered—especially in relationships—it can hijack your decisions and even your health.

It may sound like a different direction, but this is about your health. Because if you can’t change the patterns driving your behavior, real change becomes nearly impossible.

That’s why I’m joined by Thais Gibson, best-selling author of Learning Love and co-founder of The Personal Development School. She’s here to help you identify these hidden patterns and show you simple ways to start rewiring them.

On this episode, you’ll learn:

What an attachment style is – and how it could be silently sabotaging your relationships (2:00)
The surprising ways your subconscious mind is calling the shots (3:00)
How childhood experiences shape your thoughts, reactions, and patterns—and the first step to breaking free (5:10)
What being “securely attached” really looks like—and why it changes everything in your life (9:30)
The truth about the three insecure attachment styles affecting over half the population (and how to spot yours) (14:52)
The five key pillars you can start using today to create real, lasting personal transformation (29:06)
Whether one person can truly change a relationship—even if the other isn’t ready (47:55)
My take on the powerful connection between your gut microbiome and your subconscious mind (50:00)
