500-calorie diets. Extended fasts. Keto extremism. Carnivore. Juice cleanses.We’ve gotten remarkably sophisticated at starving ourselves. We just gave it scientific-sounding names.Here’s what nobody tells you: every one of these approaches pulls back a slingshot. Biological tension. Psychological tension. And eventually, always eventually, your grip slips. The snapback isn’t a character flaw. It’s physics.In this episode, I’m walking through the museum of modern restriction and showing you exactly why the binge isn’t a failure. It’s a predictable outcome of an unsustainable approach.In this episode:* The 500-calorie diet and the lie of “detox headaches”* Extended fasting: ancestral wisdom or manufactured starvation?* How keto became a religion and why people are afraid of carrots* The slingshot effect: why restriction guarantees snapback* Why the diet industry is counting on your “failure”If this resonates:If you’ve ever blamed yourself for a binge, this episode is your permission slip to stop.

Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro. A few years ago, these were diabetes medications. Today, they’re the hottest weight loss trend on the planet.I understand the pull. After decades of failed diets and shame spirals, someone hands you a needle and says, “This will finally work.” Of course you’re tempted.But what happens when you stop? What message does it send about your body? And why does the weight almost always come back?In this episode, I’m breaking down the injection epidemic—not to shame anyone, but to ask the question nobody’s asking: If the thermostat never changes, what exactly did the needle fix?In this episode:* Why people are fighting for weight loss prescriptions* The side effects nobody talks about* The message the needle sends: “Your body is broken”* Why weight returns when the injections stop* The thermostat metaphor—and why chemistry can’t override identity This is a public episode.

Injecting diabetes drugs to lose weight. Surviving on 800 calories. Wrapping ourselves in plastic. Fasting for days and calling it a "protocol."When did this become normal?In this episode, I'm asking the question nobody wants to ask anymore: Does any of this actually make sense?The answer is no. And that's not an accident.The diet industry didn't just fail us. It broke us. It manufactured our desperation, and then sold us increasingly extreme "solutions" that were never designed to work long-term. They were designed to keep us coming back.Today, we start at the beginning. How we got here. Why we stopped trusting ourselves. And what it's going to take to reclaim the common sense that was stolen from us.In this episode:The absurdity we've normalized in the name of "health"How desperation replaces wisdom and why the diet industry counts on itThe difference between "Does this make sense?" and "Will this finally work?"Why every failure pushed you further from your own judgmentThe rigged game and how to stop playing This is a public episode.

We treat dieting like a reset button. We assume we can wipe the slate clean with a new plan and fresh discipline. But the brain keeps a record. In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of the "Diet Trap" and how chronic restriction creates a "Hunger Highway" that makes food noise louder and willpower weaker. We stop blaming your character and start looking at the engine—specifically, how to shift from a "Red State" of threat to a "Blue State" of safety to finally turn down the noise.Important points discussed:The Willpower Gap: Why you are working twice as hard for half the results compared to ten years ago.The Hunger Highway: How neuroplasticity physically rewires your brain to become efficient at being hungry.Red State vs. Blue State: Understanding why your brain interprets a calorie deficit as a survival threat.The Binge Logic: Why bingeing is not a failure of discipline, but a successful biological rescue mission.Radical Maintenance: The counter-intuitive protocol required to heal the metabolic damage and shut off the alarm bells.Action Step: Stop the deficit. This week, your goal is "Radical Maintenance." Feed your body consistently to convince your brain the famine is over. You cannot rehabilitate a damaged organ while you are still attacking it.
