Episode 008: Why Your Diet Keeps Failing (And What to Do About It)


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the real reasons why your diet isn't working—and why it's not your fault. Through the story of Lisa, a client struggling with obesity, high blood pressure, and rising blood sugar levels, we uncover the emotional and psychological barriers to lasting weight loss.

Despite a strong start and motivation to avoid diabetes medication, Lisa found herself slipping back into old habits. Sound familiar?

We break down three common reasons diets fail:

  1. Relying on willpower instead of systems

  2. Chasing fear-based motivation instead of a meaningful "why"

  3. Striving for perfection instead of consistency

More importantly, we share what you can do about it—with practical steps to build habits that last, stay motivated, and finally create change that sticks.

Whether you're just starting your health journey or feeling discouraged by another setback, this episode will help you reset your mindset and find a sustainable path forward.
