I’m a former medical doctor, TEDx speaker, author, and creator focused on identity-driven reinvention. After two decades in medicine, I saw how many people were quietly unfulfilled, stuck in lives that didn’t fit.
Now, I help ambitious people reinvent their lives from the inside out. My approach starts with identity — because lasting change doesn’t begin with what you do, but with who you believe you are.
Here, you’ll find weekly videos on reinvention, mindset, and transformation strategies to help you create a life that’s effortless, aligned, and truly yours. I’m also founder of the Wellness Coach Academy, where I train & mentor aspiring wellness entrepreneurs to build meaningful, freedom-based businesses.
If you're ready for your next chapter, you're in the right place.

It’s live 🎙️
My conversation with @lewishowes on The School of Greatness is out today.
We talked for 60 minutes about identity, confidence, self-doubt, reinvention, magnetism — and why knowing what to do is often not enough to actually change.
A big part of the conversation came back to something I talk about here all the time:
If the change you’re trying to make conflicts with who you believe yourself to be, the old identity usually wins.
We also got into some of the medical stories that shaped the way I think about behaviour change and confidence.
I really loved this conversation, and I’m excited for you to hear it.

A little behind-the-scenes update I’ve been excited to share…
Last week I flew to LA to sit down with Lewis Howes for a conversation on The School of Greatness.
We talked for about 90 minutes about identity, confidence, self-doubt, reinvention, and what actually has to change when you want to become a different version of yourself.
It was one of those conversations where I walked away still thinking about parts of it afterward.
The episode comes out next Wednesday, September 16 — and I can’t wait for you to see it.
I’ll share the link here as soon as it’s live. ❤️

🎧 The Redesigning You audiobook is officially here!
And yes… I narrated it myself. 😊
So if you’ve been wanting to read the book but you’re more of a “listen while I walk / drive / work out” person, you can now take it with you.
Redesigning You is all about why lasting change starts deeper than habits — with the identity and inner story underneath them.
I’m so excited to finally have the audio edition out in the world.
🎧 Listen here: www.amazon.com/Redesigning-You-Change-Transform-He…
And if you’ve already started listening, tell me where you’re listening from — walking? commuting? at the gym? somewhere else?

A little milestone today: my TEDx talk just passed 100,000 views. ❤️
https://youtu.be/F9P_ixAEV0M
The idea at the heart of this talk is one I care deeply about:
Sometimes the reason change doesn’t stick isn’t that you need more discipline, better habits, or more motivation.
It’s that you’re trying to change what you do without changing the story of who you are.
I spent years seeing versions of this in medicine, and eventually in my own life too. It became one of the ideas that shaped my new book, Redesigning You.
So seeing this talk reach 100K people feels especially meaningful.
If you’ve watched it, thank you. And if you haven’t yet, I’d love to know what you think.

If you magically got an extra hour every day, what would you use it for?

After months of building, filming, and refining, enrollment to The Habit Lab is officially open! drkimfoster.lpages.co/habit-lab/
Here's the thing: you don't need another fresh start.

That's exactly why I created The Habit Lab.
If you've ever felt like you know what to do—but struggle to do it consistently—this course is for you.
We'll combine practical habit science with my identity-based Habit Architect Method™ so you can build habits that actually stick.
Special launch pricing is only available for a limited time, and I'd love to have you join us.

I think we've been thinking about habits all wrong.
For years we've been told that if we just had more discipline, more motivation, or a better morning routine, we'd finally become consistent.
I don't believe that's the real problem.
I've been working on something behind the scenes that brings together everything I've learned about habits, behavior change, and identity over the past several years... and I honestly can't wait to share it with you.
Coming soon. 👀

Several days ago, I sat down with Marisa Peer in London for a 90-minute, in-person conversation about identity, reinvention, and why lasting change is so much deeper than simply trying harder.
We talked about why habits often fail, why your past doesn't have to define your future, what finally gave me the courage to leave medicine after 20 years, and how the stories we tell ourselves quietly shape the lives we create.
I've shared a few of my favorite moments in this carousel, but they're really just the beginning. This was one of those conversations that left me thinking long after the cameras stopped rolling.
If you've ever felt stuck between knowing what to do and actually becoming the person you want to be, I think you'll enjoy this one.
The full conversation is now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugRD4...
I'd love to hear which idea resonates with you most.

I'm curious: if your future self sent you one piece of advice right now, what would it probably be?
