In this episode of The Women’s Fitness and Health Revolution Podcast, Kinsey pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar diet industry and its relentless push for women to shrink themselves at the expense of their long-term health. From fad diets and rapid weight-loss programs to the booming popularity of GLP-1 medications, she unpacks the hidden costs of chasing “quick fixes”—including muscle loss, metabolic damage, and the erosion of self-worth.
Kinsey explains why the scale is a misleading measure of success, why diet culture thrives on keeping women stuck in cycles of “failure,” and how we can break free by focusing on strength, muscle, and sustainable habits. You’ll learn:
-
Why traditional weight loss methods fail 80–95% of the time
-
The shocking muscle loss linked to GLP-1 drugs and crash diets
-
How diet culture manipulates women’s insecurities to keep its $427.5 billion machine running
-
Evidence-based ways to protect your muscle, metabolism, and overall health as you age
This isn’t just a takedown of diets—it’s a call to revolutionize the way we think about health. Kinsey challenges you to ditch the quick fixes, question the system, and reclaim your strength, energy, and vitality for life.
