In this powerful episode of How to Lose the ‘WAIT’, Holly Toscanini pulls back the curtain on one of the most invisible yet pervasive belief systems shaping women’s lives: diet culture as a religion. Drawing from her own decades-long journey in the weight-loss industry, Holly unpacks how moral pressure, food rituals, and promises of transformation keep midlife women worshipping at the altar of thinness—while sacrificing self-trust, joy, and vitality.
This isn’t about being anti–weight loss. It’s about reclaiming sovereignty, rejecting shame-based control, and learning to trust your body and intuition—especially in the GLP-1 era, where rapid weight loss brings hidden costs like hair loss, muscle depletion, “Ozempic face,” and a surge in plastic surgery procedures.
If you’re ready to stop waiting for your body to be “enough” before you live fully, this episode will help you see diet culture for what it is—and guide you toward a new kind of freedom.
Let’s explore…


Why diet culture operates like a modern religion (and how midlife women carry the heaviest burden)


The difference between sovereignty and shame when it comes to intentional weight loss


How calorie counting, macro tracking, and “doing the math” robs you of mental energy and joy


The physical toll of rapid weight loss in midlife: hair loss, sagging skin, muscle depletion, and the rise of “Ozempic face”


Why social media “thinspiration” feeds are not wellness, and what to focus on instead for real health and joy


Take Holly’s free 5-Minute Midlife Confidence Quiz and discover where you are on your journey to self-trust, body freedom, and intuitive living. In just a few minutes, you’ll receive personalized insights and next steps to help you stop waiting and start living.
