In this episode of Talking Sh*t we're breaking down the lie that more knowledge equals more progress. Jana shares why simply knowing what to eat or how to move isn’t the issue and why that frustrating gap between knowing and doing keeps so many people stuck. It’s not about willpower or discipline.

Caring about how you look isn’t shallow—it’s human.
But at what cost are we chasing “thinness”?

Across the country, men and women are being sold toxic weight loss advice in the name of health. And now, with the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, that pressure is shifting—but not necessarily in the name of health.

95% of diets fail—and not because you did anything wrong.

They fail because they were never designed with you in mind.

You didn’t fail the plan—the plan failed...
