The diet industry sold you a lie: that willpower is the answer and failure is your fault. It's not. You've tried every program, followed every rule, and blamed yourself when they didn't work. But the problem was never your discipline. The Weigh Out exposes why traditional weight loss advice backfires and teaches you the psychology-based approach that actually works. This is weight loss through identity transformation, not restriction. We don't do meal plans or motivation. We reset your identity so the food noise finally goes quiet. If you're ready for something radically different, you're in the right place. The goal isn't another program to follow. The goal is freedom from the constant mental negotiation with food.
Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro. A few years ago, these were diabetes medications. Today, they’re the hottest weight loss trend on the planet.
I understand the pull. After decades of failed diets and shame spirals, someone hands you a needle and says, “This will finally work.” Of course you’re tempted.
But what happens when you stop? What message does it send about your body? And why does the weight almost always come back?
In this episode,...
Injecting diabetes drugs to lose weight. Surviving on 800 calories. Wrapping ourselves in plastic. Fasting for days and calling it a "protocol."
When did this become normal?
In this episode, I'm asking the question nobody wants to ask anymore: Does any of this actually make sense?
The answer is no. And that's not an accident.
The diet industry didn't just fail us. It broke us. It manufactured our desperation, and then sold us increasin...
We treat dieting like a reset button.

In this Q&A, we go deeper into the concept of Identity vs. Discipline.
We tackle the specific, messy roadblocks that popped up after Monday’s episode—specifically the fear that identity work is just "delusional" and the exhaustion of the evening binge.
Questions Answered:
We are taught that weight loss is a test of character.
If you are overweight, society tells you it’s because you lack the willpower to say "no." You likely believe this too. You wake up every Monday promising to be "better," to white-knuckle your way through cravings, and to force your body into submission.
But by Friday (or Tuesday night), you’re exhausted, and the binge feels inevitable.
In this episode, I’m challenging the holy g...

This Q&A episode addresses listener questions following Monday's "Bad Advice vs Good Advice" episode.
We dive into practical implementation strategies for moving away from willpower-based approaches to psychologically sound methods that work with human nature instead of against it.
This episode exposes five pieces of popular weight loss advice that sound good but actually sabotage your progress.
Instead of just pointing out what's wrong, we dive into psychologically-sound alternatives that work with human nature, not against it. If you've been struggling despite "doing everything right," this episode will show you why - and what to do instead.
In this motivational episode, I challenge the popular "calories in, calories out" framework that dominates weight loss advice.
While calories do matter, treating your body like a simple calculator ignores the complex psychology and biology of eating. I explain why this approach keeps people stuck in restriction cycles and offer a better framework focused on consciousness, satisfaction, and trusting your body's intelligence.
In this motivational episode, I share the five personal rules that have kept me free from food obsession and diet culture.
These aren't restriction-based diet rules, but psychological principles that work WITH your mind to create lasting food freedom. Learn how to shift from external control to internal wisdom.
