you’re exhausted. you’ve been dieting for years, trying every plan

tracking, restricting,

yet, you’re still here, still doubting & stuck in that loop. this episode is your reset.

if you’ve wondered why women keep burning out while men seem to get away with dieting easier

id say its not willpower or discipline… but it sorta is…

it’s just applied to the wrong plan

or at least HAS been… and that’s where this podcast comes in.

we tear apart the myths you’ve swallowed (1,200 calories, adapted metabolism, needing more willpower) and rebuild from what actually works: trust, structure, and muscle. i share real strategies you can test immediately — no fluff, no shame.

the truth is that 1200 calories DOES work. so if it isnt working for you… something is up

in this episode, i unpack why your body fights back every time you try to get stricter. why you feel like you have to earn food. and why eating like your partner, or your past self, is what’s keeping you stuck in this loop.we’ll talk about the hormonal load women carry, the mental fatigue of constant restriction, and the emotional spiral that happens when you mistake exhaustion for discipline.

have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right

eating healthy, training hard, working your butt off…

and still screaming inside, “why isn’t this working?”

i know that voice. in this episode, we unpack how diet fatigue ruins your battery, why muscle is the freedom you’re avoiding, and how invisible progress is real progress.

mini wins to try today:

• a safe way to track imperfectly so you learn instead of shame

• one ritual to reclaim momentum on low days

• one simple question to pause when you feel like quitting

• how to rewire identity so consistency beats motivation

you’ll feel seen, understood, and ready to change the rules. this isn’t about perfection or even obsession

but you need to work with your body
