What if the reason you keep starting diets and quitting them has little to do with willpower, and everything to do with a script you’ve unknowingly been following for years?

In this episode, Michael Dawson reflects on a life-changing moment triggered by one simple glance through his old journal. From quitting alcohol as a type one diabetic to uncovering the subconscious pattern that fuels diet failure, he breaks down a familiar cycle: the promise, the routine, the collapse.

It’s an invitation to see dieting through a completely different lens , one that asks: What if the person who starts the diet will never be the one who succeeds?

Perfect for anyone who’s tired of starting over, this episode explores how to step out of the loop, stop chasing a fix, and start becoming someone who doesn’t need fixing.
