If “I don’t have time” is your most-used sentence…while you’re also exhausted, overwhelmed and secretly scared of burning out again, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we pull apart what’s really going on when you feel like you have to do everything perfectly or there’s no point doing anything at all.

We talk about:

- Why trying to overhaul your entire life in one hit always ends the same way: burnout, guilt and another restart.

- The mental load of work, kids, home, health and why your brain is already full before you even think about the gym.

- How “I’ll start when things calm down” keeps you stuck for years.

- The power of a few simple non-negotiables – tiny anchors that keep you steady when life gets chaotic.

- How to build a routine that fits your real life, not the fantasy version in your head.

If you’re sick of starting strong and crashing a few weeks later, or feeling like the only way to change is to run yourself into the ground, this episode will help you swap doing it all for doing what matters…consistently.

🎧 Hit play to learn how to create anchors you can actually stick to, even on your busiest days.

If every food decision in your day boils down to “Is this going to make me fat?”…you’re not alone.

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we dig into what it actually means to be a mindful eater – and why the real question isn’t “Will this make me gain weight?” but “How will this make me look, function and feel?”

We chat about:

1. The difference between eating on autopilot vs genuinely paying attention to how food affects your energy, digestion, mood and recovery.

1. “Bread belly”, booze bloat and why some foods now hit you like a truck once you’ve cleaned things up.

1. Fuel shifts – what’s really happening when you drop the processed carbs, then feel awful after a blowout meal.

1. Our simple Golden Triangle test (how you look, how you function, how you feel) to judge any plan or program.

1. Pulling apart gimmicks like the Cookie Diet and 5:2 shake plans using common sense, not desperation.

If you’ve spent years jumping on every new diet, ignoring how horrible you feel as long as the scales move, this conversation will help you start asking a better question:~

“Is this way of eating actually healing me…inside and out?”

Hit play to learn how to think for yourself in a noisy diet world – and build a way of eating you can live with for more than 12 weeks.

• The Weight Loss Podcast Academy – If you need personalised support as well as accountability, education, structure and direction from Matt

As a teenager, Matt quietly ate his way into obesity, anxiety and isolation.

By his twenties he was avoiding mirrors, dodging social events, and pretending everything was fine…right up until a type 2 diabetes diagnosis and an emotional breaking point forced him to choose: change, or keep disappearing.

In this raw, no-BS episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, Courtney interviews Matt about:

1. Growing up in a home where food, habits and environment quietly steered him towards massive weight gain

1. What it was really like living in a body he hated – panic in public, fear of being seen, using humour to hide

1. Hearing the words “type 2 diabetes” and realising no one was coming to save him

1. How he rebuilt his life with simple structure, long-term thinking and a lot of very unsexy repetition

1. Losing over 80kg, getting strong, reversing diabetes…then facing a new enemy: complacency

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the messy, uncomfortable truth about change: the false starts, the shame, the wins that no one sees, and the work that continues long after the weight comes off.

If you feel “too far gone”, terrified of failing again, or stuck in your own head about where to start, Matt’s story will show you what’s possible when you stop waiting for the perfect moment and start backing yourself today. 🎧
