Show by Brianna Jovahn
How long does it actually take to build a sustainable health habit, and why do generic one-size-fits-all diets fail?Registered Dietitian and integrative nutritionist Meridan Zerner reveals that building a lasting habit takes 66 days (not 28), and true preventive health requires personalized data—like Resting Metabolic Rate and muscle mass testing—rather than trusting a bathroom scale.In this episode of Dallas, Texas: What's Good, recorded live at the W Hotel during the What She Said showcase, host Brianna Jovahn sits down with Meridan Zerner. Meridan shares her transition after 25 years at the Cooper Clinic to launching Meridan Zerner Nutrition, her famous "trying on habits like a pair of shoes" philosophy, and how women can advocate for their sleep, gut health, and unique body goals.Episode Timestamps;[00:00:00] - "How Much You Need Depends on Your Goals": Personalized Nutrition[00:00:27] - Welcome to Dallas, Texas: What's Good at the W Hotel (What She Said Showcase)[00:01:09] - Meet Meridan Zerner: Dietitian, Mom & Women's Health Advocate[00:01:37] - Pivoting After 25 Years at Cooper Clinic to Launch Meridan Zerner Nutrition[00:02:20] - From Journalism & Fitness Instruction to a Master's in Nutrition[00:03:21] - What is Preventive Medicine & Integrative Nutrition?[00:04:34] - The Science of Habit Building: Why It Takes 66 Days (Not 28)[00:06:20] - "Try On a Habit Like a Pair of Shoes": Finding What Fits Your Life[00:07:22] - Testing Muscle Mass vs. Fat: Why You Should Throw Away Your Scale[00:08:24] - Fixing Sleep & Insomnia First: The Power of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy[00:09:09] - Motivational Interviewing: "I Know What to Do, I'm Just Not Doing It"[00:10:13] - There is No One-Size-Fits-All Recipe for Wellbeing[00:10:49] - Be Your Own Advocate: Asking Questions in Women's Healthcare[00:11:28] - Free Resources & How to Connect with Meridian Zerner (meridanzernernutrition.com)Meridan ZernerWebsite: www.meridanzernernutrition.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meridanzerner/Connect with Meridan and learn more about her work in nutrition at www.meridanzernernutrition.com.
