The Weigh Out (formerly Weight Loss Mindset)

We mock the Victorians for their corsets. The fainting. The deformed ribs. The compressed organs.How barbaric, we think. Thank God we’ve evolved.And then we strap on a waist trainer and call it “shaping.”In this episode, I’m walking through the modern torture devices—the wraps, the trainers, the vibration plates, and yes, the surgeries that remove organs rather than examine thoughts. Nothing has changed. We just have better marketing.In this episode:* Waist trainers: corsets with Instagram accounts* Body wraps and the lie of “melting inches”* Vibration plates: the $500 illusion of effort* Gastric surgery: when we’d rather remove organs than examine beliefs* Why surgery doesn’t reset the thermostat eitherIf this resonates:If you’ve ever considered an extreme intervention, this episode might save you from a painful mistake.

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.
