Program Yourself Thin Podcast

Your subconscious mind has two quirks that are quietly shaping everything you do — including how you eat, what you weigh, and why you stay stuck.

In this episode, I reveal two surprising facts about how your subconscious actually works and why understanding them changes the way you set goals, talk to yourself, and approach weight loss. Once you hear this, you won't think about your mind the same way again.

If you keep waiting to “feel motivated,” you’ll keep waiting.

In this episode, I reveal the real reason motivation feels low — and why it’s not about laziness, discipline, or willpower. You’ll learn:

What actually kills motivation (and it’s not what you think)

Why clarity and structure matter more than hype

How to create steady momentum even when you don’t feel inspired

Motivation isn’t something you find.
It’s something you build.

And once you understand this, you stop waiting — and start moving.

Hunger has been misunderstood — and that misunderstanding makes weight loss harder than it needs to be.

In this episode, I break down what hunger really is, when it’s helpful, and when it’s misleading. You’ll learn:

Why some hunger is normal (and even useful) for fat loss

The difference between physical hunger and emotional urges

How to respond to hunger calmly instead of reacting impulsively

Hunger isn’t the enemy.
It’s feedback.

When you understand it, manage it, and stop fearing it, weight loss becomes much more predictable — and much less stressful.

What if the key to losing weight isn’t pushing harder… but loving yourself more?

In this episode, I break down why self-criticism quietly fuels the cycle of overeating, quitting, and starting over — and how self-respect creates lasting change. You’ll learn:

Why loving your body doesn’t mean giving up on improving it

How compassion increases consistency more than shame ever could

The mindset shift that makes healthy choices feel natural

You don’t have to hate your body into change.
You can love it into transformation.

And that’s where real, sustainable weight loss begins.
