Real Life Weight Loss

You asked and I'm answering!

Today, I'm pulling back the curtain and explaining . . .

And, maybe most importantly — what I'm actually teaching people to do.

And no, this isn't just one giant sales pitch.

You'll learn how I coach my clients and how you can use it in YOUR life too!

I'll show you how you can take ma...

Then - “I don't want to be my own worst enemy anymore."

Now - "I've never felt more free."

What if you finally reached your goal weight ... and discovered you still didn't have what you truly wanted?

Adriel has been hyper-aware of her body since childhood. After years of bullying, body shame, bingeing and restricting, she spent much of her life jumping from one diet to the next, always believing the next plan would finally fix everything.

She tried vegetarianism, low-carb, keto, intermittent fasting, supplements, ju...

There is no reset button on humans.

You can’t erase the weekend or magically “reset” your metabolism, gut, or nervous system and wake up Monday as a brand-new you.

So why are we so obsessed with resets?

In this episode, we’ll explore resets, cortisol, inflammation, hormones, and what really helps you lose weight and keep it off long-term.

We’ll also tackle the endless search for the smoking gun behind your weight loss struggles: gluten, lectins, nightshades, hormones, cortisol, your gut . . .

And why the answer may be muc...

Think you have a slow metabolism that's making weight loss nearly impossible?

You may be misunderstanding what your metabolism actually is.

“My RMR is 1,700 calories. The normal amount for someone my age and size is 3,000. I guess I just have to really watch all my calories.”

That message from a listener inspired today's episode.

Because there's a lot of confusion around metabolism—and that confusion can leave people feeling defeated before they even begin.

In this episode, Corey breaks down what metabolism actually means, what RMR and BMR measure, and wh...

Do you feel like you're always trying to lose weight?

Thinking about food.

Planning your next diet.

Starting fresh every Monday.

Yet somehow making very little lasting progress?

In this episode, Corey explains why so many people stay mentally exhausted by weight loss without actually moving forward.

You'll learn the difference between being busy and being strategic . . .

Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuck . . .

And how one mindset shift can dramatically change both your results and your peace...

For years, James felt trapped in the same cycle.

He'd lose 20 pounds. Gain it back.

Start another diet. Repeat.

James spent years searching for the "right" diet. He tried . . .

Atkins.

South Beach.

Calorie tracking.

Intermittent fasting.

Each one helped him lose weight.

Each one eventually became too restrictive to maintain.

And every time he regained the weight, he blamed himself.

He began believing he lacked discipline… or that something was simply wr...

"Food has been my hiding place and comfort for so long."

That simple sentence captures the heart of Karen's story.

For years, she believed weight loss meant restriction, misery, and constantly thinking about food.

She'd lost weight before. But she was also, in her words, "cranky, hungry, and angry."

Every diet promised big results. But . . .

None of them taught her how to deal with the emotional reasons she turned to food in the first place.

Paul is a physician.

He understands health.

He knows how the body works.

Yet after COVID, burnout, and the demands of life, he found himself gaining weight, unable to button his pants, and wondering how he'd gotten there.

His problem wasn't a lack of knowledge.

It was figuring out how to consistently apply what he already knew in the middle of real life.

In this episode, Paul shares how shifting from chasing information to following a sustainable framework changed...

Have you ever felt like everything was working against you?

Maybe you've struggled with emotional eating during stressful seasons.

Maybe you've received a health diagnosis that completely changed your life.

Maybe you've wondered if lasting weight loss is even possible when you're carrying so much.

In this heartfelt conversation, Megan shares her journey through serious health challenges, emotional eating, and unexpected setbacks that tested both her body and her mindset.

After gaining weight while coping with stress and uncertainty...

For years, Andy felt stuck.

Overweight, frustrated, constantly weighing himself, and repeatedly returning to keto, he believed he just needed more discipline and more effort.

So he worked harder.

He tracked more.

He exercised 6 days per week.

And yet the results never seemed to last.

In this powerful conversation, Andy shares how he broke free from the all-or-nothing mindset, learned to trust the small steps, and finally created a sustainable approach that led to big weight loss success!

What happens when life becomes so overwhelming that weight loss feels impossible?

In this powerful interview, Julie shares her journey through years of crash dieting, chronic illness, family tragedy, and intense self-criticism ... and the breakthrough that finally changed everything.

For years, Julie believed her struggle with weight was a discipline problem. She cycled through diets like Slim Fast, Atkins, and Whole30 while battling feelings of rejection, shame, and inadequacy.

Then life delivered what she describes as a "hurricane of life-altering stress."

This conversation...

Have you ever lost weight, stepped on the scale, and felt successful ... only to look in the mirror and feel disappointed?

This episode was inspired by a listener's email that points us to a big truth . . .

Losing weight can absolutely improve health and quality of life, but it doesn't always produce the appearance people imagine it will.

You'll learn the critical difference between what determines weight loss and what determines how you look and feel, plus practical ways to better align your efforts with your true goals.

Imagine if you treated your marriage the way you treat your diet.

After celebrating 20 years of marriage . . .

I decided to explore the surprising parallels between marriage and weight loss. Because lasting transformation doesn't happen through perfection, extremes, or quick fixes.

If you've ever felt discouraged by slow progress or tempted by another quick fix, this episode will offer a refreshing perspective on what real success actually looks like.

We'll cover . . .

Can you lose weight and still be unhappy?

Absolutely.

In this episode, I share a powerful email from longtime coaching client, who reflects on a transformation that went far beyond the scale.

Her story highlights a powerful truth . . .

Losing weight and gaining life are not always the same thing.

Because while weight loss can be valuable, it doesn't automatically create confidence, self-acceptance, freedom around food, or happiness.

I'll break down the four questions that will help you define true success and explain why...

Most people think there are endless ways to lose weight.

The fitness industry promotes endless methods and meal plans, but the truth is every approach ultimately falls into one of three categories:

Today, we'll unpack the pros and cons of each strategy, including:

Most importantly, we'll go beyond “just losing weight” and ask...

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest hidden obstacles to lasting weight loss success. I call it the "Panic Loop."

That moment when the scale goes up a little, progress feels too slow, or fear takes over ... it can completely derail your ability to think clearly, assess, and adjust.

Because when people panic around weight loss, they often:

> Jump to unsustainable extremes

> Start believing they’re broken

> Obsess over the scale even more

> Cut out entire food groups

> Ch...

“I’m finally comfortable in my own skin.”

What if lasting transformation had less to do with willpower… and everything to do with the way you think?

In this deeply honest and inspiring conversation, former coaching client “Cindy Lou” shares the mindset breakthroughs that completely changed her life and body.

After decades of all-or-nothing thinking, emotional pressure, and tying her value to the scale, Cindy found a new way forward — one built on grace, awareness, reframing, and sustainable habits.

Today, she says she feels free, grounded, and...

One of my clients just got results that normally only come from drugs, hormone replacement therapy, or some extreme program.

But we didn’t use medication or hormones.

We didn’t use a crazy diet..

And we definitely didn’t overhaul his entire life overnight.

In today’s episode, I’ll explain what we did to achieve incredible results.

These results speak for themselves 👇

30 point drop in cholesterol

271 point drop in triglycerides

In this episode, I break down a viral Instagram post claiming that if everyone knew these 9 things… gyms would be empty.

Some of it is spot on.

Some of it is misleading.

And some of it completely misses the bigger picture.

👀 Inside This Episode:

“I just can’t get it together…”

“I’ve been struggling with this my whole life…”

“If I could just lose the weight…”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. But here’s the hard truth . . .

Most people don’t stay stuck because they don’t care.

They stay stuck because they don’t take action.

Or they take half-hearted action — just enough to feel like they’re trying…

but not enough to actually change anything.

In this episode, I break down a simple (but po...

You might be making this way harder than it needs to be.

You might be stressing… overthinking… and spinning your wheels…

When the real answer is pretty simple. Because you only have two options.

In this episode, I walk you through a powerful step-by-step process (what I call a “weight loss algorithm”) to help you figure out which one is right for you.

Because here’s the truth . . .

Without action, nothing changes. Without peace, nothing feels good — even if you succeed

In 1972, a group of Stanford researchers did an experiment with marshmallows.

They discovered one gigantic breakthrough that could make all the difference for you.

In this episode, I break down what this one thing is and why it quietly shapes almost every area of your life — especially when it comes to your body and health.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

There are a lot of lies floating around in the weight loss world.

Some come from diet culture.

Some come from social media.

And some… come from the way we’ve trained ourselves to think.

In this episode, I break down three hard truths that challenge some of the most common (and damaging) beliefs people carry about losing weight.

These aren’t tips.

They’re not hacks.

They’re the kinds of truths that might sting a little… bu...

Do you make this recipe mistake?

What type of coffee creamer do you use?

Have you ever tried this snacking tip to save calories?

Today, I’ve got some super practical food swaps and weight loss tips for ya!

But I’ve got to be honest … I’m not a fan of weight loss tips and tricks. Not because they’re useless — but because they’re often misunderstood.

Tips and tricks can help in the short term. But they won’t deliver the long-term, life...

One of the biggest reasons people struggle to lose weight has nothing to do with food or exercise.

It’s where their attention is. Most people are stuck between two places:

Frustrated with where they are now . . .

Obsessed with where they want to go . . .

And that tension? It keeps them distracted, overwhelmed, and inconsistent.

In this episode, I break down a powerful shift we worked through in my Last Monday Reset Workshop …

Removing the mental noise that keeps you stuck — so you can finally take consistent action.

“How does a weight loss program bring up so much emotional stuff?”

That's what a client recently asked me. The answer is simple - weight loss isn’t just about food and exercise.

It’s about your thoughts, beliefs, habits, patterns, stress, emotions, and self-awareness.

And for many people, the biggest obstacle isn’t discipline — it’s perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking.

In this episode, I break down:

Do whatever diet, workout, or weight loss program you want, but if your overall approach is wrong, then you’re kind of doomed.

After almost 25 years in the fitness and weight loss world, I’ve noticed patterns in how people try to lose weight.

Whether you realize it or not, you probably routinely take a very similar approach to what you’ve always done. It might be a different diet or exercise program, but …

Your mindset …

Your overall strategy …

The way you view the program …

The way you go about t...

My client had done everything … yet hadn’t actually done anything.

Sound familiar?

There are sneaky ways we keep ourselves busy that feel productive, but in reality, they keep us stuck in the exact same place.

In this episode, I break down the four biggest ways we fool ourselves when trying to lose weight.

We’ll uncover . . .

Most importantly, I’ll help you identify whether you’re doing this — and what to do ins...

Weight loss isn’t a mystery — but your brain might be making it feel like one.

In this episode, I share the tried and true stuff that actually works.

If you’re ready to stop chasing secrets and start seeing real results, then this episode is for you! It will simplify everything and empower you to make more progress than ever before.

It was all inspired by a coaching conversation where a client gave me three obstacles she was experiencing . . .

Aubre is a working mom of three who has been on and off diets for about 25 years.

She’s tried Weight Watchers, Slimfast, Noom, and P90x, to name a few.

She said . . .

“I would spend so much time getting ready for a diet … then I would always start feeling overwhelmed and weigh myself everyday … and the diet would always stop.”

Does any of this sound familiar?

I bet her story is very similar to yours in a lot of ways. And I bet you’ll be inspired by this story o...

“I need someone to hold me accountable.”

It’s one of the most common things people say when they’re struggling to stay consistent. And for a long time, I believed it too.

In this episode, I explain why I’ve changed my mind about accountability. It’s often misunderstood and overvalued.

This episode is about shifting from being afraid to let others down to learning how to stop letting yourself down — and why your relationship with yourself is the real foundation for consistency.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

There are a handful of ideas I’m seeing everywhere right now — on social media, in ads, and in the weight loss space — and honestly, they’re driving me a little crazy.

Why? Because they’re oversimplified, misleading, and quietly setting people up to fail.

In this episode, I break down five things that sound convincing on the surface, but often do more harm than good when it comes to weight loss, health, and long-term success.

This isn’t about trends or hot takes.

It’s about learning how to think more clearly i...

Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to find a reason to eat?

A great day.

A hard day.

Stress.

Celebration.

Exhaustion.

In this episode, we explore emotional eating, stress eating, and what I call the “deserve it” mentality. Whether we realize it or not, this is quietly undermining our relationship with food and long-term results

Using real client examples, we explore how the same mindset shows up whether you’re celebrating success or struggling with stress … and why both lead to the same out...

Over the last few episodes, we talked about why dieting stops working, how people outgrow the all-or-nothing approach, and what sustainable change actually looks like in real life.

In a nutshell, we discussed Rebuilding vs Restarting.

In this episode, we zoom out.

Because rebuilding isn’t a phase or a series we’re “done” with — it’s the foundation underneath everything else.

You’ll learn how the Rebuilder mindset changes the way you approach food, habits, mindset, and consistency… and how this lens carries forward into everything we talk about next and everything y...

Sustainable change sounds good in theory — but what does it actually look like day to day?

In this episode, we get practical and walk through what rebuilding really looks like in real life, especially during busy, imperfect weeks.

You’ll learn how Rebuilders build consistency without burnout, perfection, or extreme rules — and why this approach finally sticks.

We'll cover:

This is exactly the type of wo...

Want to know how to stop constantly restarting your diet, stop being a chronic dieter, and actually make weight loss progress that lasts?

Then this episode is for YOU.

We'll go deeper into how people approach change — and why that matters way more than motivation.

You’ll learn the difference between the chronic dieter and the Rebuilder, and why many people naturally outgrow the diet culture approach without realizing it.

If you’ve ever thought . . .

“I don’t want another reset — I want something that makes sense,” then this episode will l...

If you’ve tried diet after diet and keep wondering why nothing seems to stick anymore, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk about why dieting often stops working — especially as life gets fuller — and why that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.

You’ll learn:

This episode is for anyone who’s done with extremes and ready for a more s...

Have you been stuck in the self-defeating diet cycle? Here’s what it looks like . . .

You overcommit and start some rigid diet that is way too restrictive and doesn’t fit into your life.

Then, as the “new year new me energy” starts to fade …

And life gets back to its normal stressful self …

You struggle … quit … beat yourself up … and think you need to wait until you can totally reset, restart, and “really do it right.”

If you’ve experienced this and you’re ready to break the cycle, then this episode’s...

This is a simple 2-part challenge that can lead to ...

Greater happiness, more energy, fewer aches and pains, better relationships, less depression, improved self esteem, a more optimistic mindset, and “unshackling from negative emotions”.

There’s also a special message from me to YOU.

I know it’s the super busy holiday season, but if you carve out 10 minutes to listen to this episode … you won’t regret it.

Much love to you and your family this Christmas!

There’s something I say nearly every episode. I say it because I believe it. But the other day, I was listening to a different podcast and someone said - “I know greatness is coming your way!” 

At first, I really appreciated that. He’s really supporting and encouraging people. Heck yeah, I love that!  But then I thought about it a bit more … and it bothered me. 

It bothered me because he doesn’t know what’s coming your way. He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know you. He doesn’t know what life’s going to br...
