Sheila Dunbar welcomes Dr. Len Lopez, a nutritionist, strength and conditioning coach, and chiropractic sports physician with 25+ years of experience, to discuss balance and his simple accountability tool, Five Steps a Day. Dr. Len explains the STEPS acronym—Sleep, Think, Eat, Physical, Spirit—and how daily check-ins and visual tracking can help people build consistent habits without trying to overhaul everything at once. They cover moving from vicious cycles to virtuous cycles, the importance of mindset and faith for resilience, and practical starting points like small improvements in meals and short walks. Dr. Len also shares perspectives on HIIT training, positive self-talk, digestion and absorption, and where listeners can download the Five Steps a Day app or calendar at https://drlenlopez.com/5stepsaday/
