Today, Sas Petherick returns for the fifth installment of our Body Stories series — and she’s nearly a year into her holistic weight-loss journey!
In this conversation, Sas shares what’s become unmistakably clear along the way: true change happens at the pace of your body, and all-or-nothing thinking around food and movement is far more pervasive (and sneaky) than we realize.
Together, we discuss:
- Why dieting isn’t an either/or thing — and you’re never just “on track” or “off track”
- How Sas embraced her birthday dinner without stressing over macros
- Moving at the pace of your body instead of rushing to the “end” of a diet
- The realities of The Biggest Loser and the ways they faked things for TV
- How to choose a trainer you can actually trust
- Self-compassion as an antidote to perfectionism
- Sas’ sobriety journey and finding the third way
Make sure to check out Ali’s new website trucewithfood.com, and take the new Find Your Food Stage assessment!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
