What if the right diet isn’t about cutting carbs, counting macros, or giving up your favorite foods—but about understanding what truly works for you?

In this episode, I unpack why restrictive diets fail and how the “can’t mindset” wires your brain to crave the very foods you’re trying to avoid. You’ll learn how to shift from restriction to intuition, discover the difference between can’t and don’t, and finally build a way of eating that feels effortless, enjoyable, and aligned with your body.
