Send us a text What if the loudest promise in wellness—make it easy—was the most expensive lie you’ve ever bought? We pull back the curtain on the weight loss industry’s subscription model, from big-box pharmacy counters to glossy “doctor-approved” plans, and show how the business thrives on keeping you almost there. No miracle shot, cleanse, or app can sell you the only tool that actually creates lasting change: ownership. I share how desperation once had me chasing fixes and how everything...

The Fat Kid’s Survival Guide to Halloween Candy
Send us a text Candy doesn’t control you—rigid rules do. We break the holiday panic cycle and show how Halloween can prove you’re in charge by trading restriction for intention. Jonathan unpacks why willpower collapses under real-life stress and how a choice-based mindset lets you enjoy the candy without the guilt, the spiral, or the Monday reset. This is about presence over perfection, awareness over autopilot, and ownership over all-or-nothing thinking. We dig into the core shift from obey...

The Day I Stopped Dieting and Started Choosing To Transform My Life
Send us a text A hospital wristband, a bag of orange pill bottles, and a photo so jarring it broke years of denial—this is the moment the story turns. I walked to the edge of the “easy way” with bariatric surgery and GLP-1 drugs and realized every shortcut still demanded the same hard truth: I had to choose. Not once, not perfectly, but daily, in boring, unglamorous ways that rebuild trust from the ground up. I share how I canceled surgery twice, cleared just enough space in the fridge to br...

Calories Don’t Lie — But Diet Gurus and Fitness Influencers Do
Send us a text The loudest voices in weight loss profit from confusion, shame, and false certainty—so we turn down the noise and hand you the controls. We break apart the biggest myth of all, that “calories don’t matter,” and rebuild from first principles: energy balance, metabolic adaptation, and small, smart choices that actually stick. No whiteboard lecture, no guru vibes—just plain-English science and pragmatic steps you can use today. We talk about how the industry manufactures contradi...

No Discipline or Willpower? No Problem. That’s Not What Got You Fat Anyway
Send us a text Some truths sting because they pull the mask off. The $70B diet machine thrives on your “failure,” selling restriction and then blaming your willpower when real life shreds the rules. We take a flamethrower to that narrative and replace it with something durable: design over discipline. When your environment and systems do the heavy lifting, healthy choices stop being a daily fight and start becoming your default. We walk through the psychology of decision fatigue and why busy...

Food Rules Are Bullsh*t, But Keep Believing If You Like Misery
Send us a text Tired of being told what you can’t eat and when you’re allowed to eat it? We go straight at diet dogma—carb curfews, salad halos, cheat-day chaos—and show why rigid rules keep you stuck in guilt and rebound binges. Instead of another plan that collapses when life gets messy, we make the case for a smarter operating system built on small, repeatable choices that flex with your day and still move the needle. We break down the biggest myths with simple, actionable alternatives: w...

By Next Summer You’ll Either Thank Me—or Hate Yourself
Send us a text Ever caught yourself thinking "I'll get serious about my health in January" or "I need to get beach-ready by June"? That seasonal mindset is exactly what keeps you trapped in the frustrating cycle of weight gain and panic dieting year after year. The hard truth? The diet industry has masterfully conditioned us to think health has a season. They don't make billions from people who fix their health once and for all—they profit from those hitting the reset button every spring, on...

Two Seats, One Truth- Southwest Just Did Us a Favor
Send us a text Ready for some raw, unfiltered truth about weight loss? In this hard-hitting episode, we tackle Southwest Airlines' customer size policy head-on and flip the script on the outrage. Far from discrimination, requiring passengers who can't fit in one seat to purchase another might be the wake-up call you never knew you needed. Drawing from personal experience of losing 140 pounds, I share why shame never works – but honesty absolutely does. There's a crucial difference between th...

Ozempic Lawsuits? Surprise The Miracle Was Bullshit
Send us a text Ready for the unfiltered truth about Ozempic? Brace yourself for a reality check that the pharmaceutical companies and diet industry don't want you to hear. The miracle weight loss shot that celebrities and doctors have been raving about isn't quite the revolutionary breakthrough it's been marketed to be. Behind the glossy ads and dramatic before-and-after photos lies a familiar pattern – the same one the $70 billion diet industry has been recycling for decades. From diet shak...

Send us a text Ready to ditch the fantasy of perfect meal plans that inevitably collapse when life gets messy? This raw, unfiltered episode cuts through the diet industry BS to reveal why those color-coded, macro-counted meal plans fail – not because you lack willpower, but because they're fundamentally designed for robots, not real humans with complex lives.

The Gym Is a Waste of Time (If You're Trying to Lose Weight)
Send us a text Ready for some unfiltered truth that might just change everything you thought you knew about weight loss? Forget what the fitness industry has been selling you for decades – the gym is not your weight loss solution. As someone who lost 140 pounds without ever setting foot in a gym, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest myths keeping millions of people frustrated, broke, and still overweight. The hard reality? You don't have a gym problem; you have a food problem. ...

Stop Dieting. Start Choosing. The Real Reason Diets Keep Failing (And What You Need to Do Instead)
Send us a text We've been sold a lie about weight loss. The billion-dollar diet industry thrives on your repeat business—creating plans that promise transformation but deliver temporary results at best. The problem isn't your willpower or motivation; it's the fundamental approach. When you diet, you're outsourcing your power to someone else's rules. You're following a script written by strangers who don't know your life, your triggers, or your unique needs. And when those one-size-fits-all a...

The Real Reason You Keep Falling Off (It’s Not What You Think)
Send us a text Ever found yourself saying "I was doing so well and then just fell off"? Stop blaming yourself – your weight loss plan was probably designed to fail from the start. The harsh truth is that willpower is a finite resource that gets depleted throughout your day. By the time you're staring at the fridge at 7 PM trying to choose between a healthy meal and ordering pizza, your mental battery is toast. The pizza wins every time – not because you're weak, but because your system is fl...

Fat Isn’t a Feeling—It’s a Choice You Keep Making

In this no-holds-barred episode, we rip the emotional band-aid off this common statement and expose the dangerous language trap that's keeping you stuck. Fat isn't a feeling—it's the result of small, repeated choices that stack up over time.

Why Your Diet Is A Lying, Soul-Sucking Freak
Send us a text Most weight loss approaches set you up for failure from day one—not because you lack willpower, but because they're designed to be temporary quick fixes rather than sustainable lifestyle changes. That's how the $70 billion diet industry keeps you coming back, blaming yourself instead of their broken system. The pattern is painfully familiar: excitement at the start of a new diet, early success as water weight drops, then inevitable burnout when life throws curveballs. You "fal...

That seemingly innocent explanation might be the very thing keeping you stuck in a cycle of weight struggles and failed attempts at change. In this raw, unfiltered episode, we tear down the myth of the "fat gene" and expose the truth that most people don't want to hear: what we blame on genetics is actually inherited behavior.

The hard truth? Your weight isn't a gym problem—it's a decision problem. Those personal trainers you're considering dropping hundreds or thousands on?
