It’s Michael Dawson, author of Quit Your Diet. I’ve spent my life supporting change and helping people quit things, but recently I got a fair question: has any of this worked for me?

In this episode, I’m sharing three everyday habits that used to run my life, extra sugar in every mug, a lifelong nail-biting reflex, and a coffee schedule so predictable that baristas recognized me on sight. I’ll explain the quick mindset shifts that helped me ease sugar down to zero, the 20-minute NLP “swish” that silenced nail-biting for good, and why dropping caffeine cold turkey didn’t turn me into a hermit.

If you’re curious about quitting sugar, stopping nail-biting, or giving yourself a caffeine detox without drama, this chat is for you.
