If you've ever gone all in on a new diet on Monday… only to be Googling something completely different by Saturday because this one "isn't working," this episode is for you.

Inside this conversation, Coach Steph Miramontes and I are unpacking the real reason so many smart, motivated women feel stuck in the cycle of starting over, getting off track, bingeing on the foods they've been avoiding, and then blaming themselves for their "lack of discipline."

Spoiler Alert: it's not because you need more willpower.

We're talking about program hopping and why constantly chasing the next plan (keto, fasting, macro tracking, clean eating, repeat…) keeps you trapped in guilt, shame, and frustration. In this episode, we discuss what to do instead if you actually want your eating habits to change for good.

You'll also learn:

• Why starting a new plan feels productive (but is often avoidance in disguise)

• The dopamine trap that keeps you jumping from one strategy to the next

• How perfectionism + all-or-nothing thinking sabotage consistency

• When it's time to stick it out vs. when it's actually time to pivot

• 4 practical ways to stop program hopping and follow through -- starting TODAY

If you're burned out from tracking, tired of "getting back on track," and ready to feel calm around food again… this one's a must-listen.

In this episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, Steph and I have an honest, no-judgment conversation about GLP-1 medications and the part almost no one is talking about: the emotional and psychological side of eating.

This isn't an anti-GLP-1 episode. And it's definitely not about shame. We work with women who are on GLP-1s, women who've gone off them, and women who don't want medication at all.

What we do unpack is what happens when food noise quiets… and you're left face-to-face with the emotions food used to manage.

If you have a long history of dieting, bingeing, and feeling out of control around food, this episode will hit home and give you real tools, not just opinions.

You'll learn:

• Why GLP-1s don't "fix" emotional eating (and why that matters)

• The emotional void many women feel when food is no longer their coping tool

• What actually causes weight regain—and how to prevent it

• How to build emotional tools that work with or without medication

• Practical steps to reduce food noise and overeating starting today

If you're tired of white-knuckling food and want a calmer, more sustainable path forward, this episode is for you.

If you've ever thought, "Something must be wrong with my metabolism now," this episode is for you.

In today's conversation, Coach Steph and I break down one of the most frustrating beliefs women carry into their 40s, 50s, and beyond: that aging automatically ruins your metabolism and makes weight loss impossible.

Spoiler Alert: that story is incomplete... and it's keeping you stuck in diet burnout, overeating, and guilt.

We talk about what actually changes as life gets fuller (stress, sleep, habits, emotional eating), why extreme diets backfire harder now than they did in your 20s, and how years of restriction quietly fuel bingeing and food obsession.

Most importantly, we walk you through a calmer, common-sense way forward that doesn't require tracking, weighing, or "starting over" every Monday.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your metabolism isn't broken—and what really affects it

• How dieting history creates overeating and food fear

• The small, realistic habits that support appetite, muscle, and sanity

• How to stop relying on food as your main stress relief

• What you can start doing today to eat with more ease and consistency
