46:49 Share

Legend. When used to describe an individual, it’s a term not to be used lightly. We’ve obviously had our share of legends join us here in our 200+ episodes but if you were to ask me if there is one that stands above the rest, my answer would be an easy one: Our 100th episode special guests, Drs. James & Janice Prochaska, who created the Stages of Change we’ve all utilized, even if we didn’t realize it. 

Before we jump into the interview, let me give you a brief overview of the 6 Stages of Change so you have a baseline for the deeper discussion an application that follows: 

1.           Precontemplation – not ready; not intending to take action in next 6 months

2.           Contemplation – getting ready; intending to take action in the next 6 months

3.           Preparation – ready to take action in next 30 days

4.           Action – have made the behavior change but for less than 6 months

5.           Maintenance – doing the new healthy behavior for more than 6 months

6.           Termination – confident with the change; not tempted to relapse
