Stop Negotiating with Your Brain About Every Bite You Eat

Published on: 29th September, 2025

Is your brain a terrible roommate? 

Does it keep a running tally of every bite, leave passive-aggressive notes about the bagel you had for breakfast, and pay zero rent? It’s time to evict the constant food chatter, calorie calculations, and endless guilt.

This episode is your guide to breaking out of food prison. We're not talking about a free-for-all where you live on pizza and hope for the best. This is about building a flexible, stress-free approach to eating so you can get your mental energy back and focus on your actual life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to finally identify and fire the loud, obnoxious “Food Police” living in your head.
  • Why your strict food rules are psychologically designed to fail and keep you trapped in an exhausting cycle of restriction, rebellion, and regret.
  • The real reason you can’t stop thinking about “forbidden” foods (hint: it has nothing to do with a lack of willpower).
  • A simple 3-step plan to build food flexibility, starting with the one strategy that sounds terrifying but is the key to your freedom.
  • How to start listening to your body’s internal feedback system instead of external diet plans.
  • A practical way to prove to your brain that eating a "bad" food won't lead to catastrophe, so you can finally move on with your day.

Your value as a person has absolutely nothing to do with what you ate for lunch. It’s time to stop acting like it does. Tune in and start your journey back to enjoying food.
