Never Diet Again with Max Lowery

What if the thing you’re using to feel better is actually keeping you stuck?
In this episode, I’m joined by psychiatrist Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, who has worked inside Big Pharma and the FDA, and what he shares will seriously challenge the way you think about antidepressants, anxiety, GLP-1 weight loss injections, emotional eating, and mental health.
We talk about why so many people are being given drugs to numb symptoms without ever addressing the root cause, why food can become a form of self-medication, and why weight gain is often a symptom of something much deeper.
This is not an anti-medication conversation. It’s an honest one.
If you’re a woman over 40 who feels stuck with your weight, constantly turns to food for comfort, or feels like you’ve tried everything and nothing works, this episode will help you see the real issue more clearly.
Because the problem is rarely just food.
It’s stress.
It’s emotional regulation.
It’s nervous system overload.
It’s identity.
It’s the feelings you keep trying to avoid.
And until those root causes are addressed, the same patterns keep coming back.
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered whether quick fixes are really solving the problem… or just delaying the moment you finally have to face it.

Most women don’t need more weight loss knowledge.
They know what to eat.
They know they should move more.
They know snacking, overeating, and “just a little taste” all add up.
But here’s the problem: there is often a huge gap between what you think you’re doing and what you’re actually doing.
And that gap is where weight loss stalls.
In this episode, I share a training taken directly from inside my Live360 coaching program, breaking down the 3 biggest weight loss mistakes we see again and again with women who feel stuck.
These aren’t complicated. They’re not extreme. And they’re definitely not about cutting out your favourite foods.
But they are the small, easy-to-miss habits that can quietly stop progress:
bites, licks and tastes that “don’t count,” eating past fullness because you hate wasting food, and underestimating how powerful daily movement really is.
If you feel like you’re doing everything right but the weight still isn’t moving, this episode will help you stop blaming yourself and start seeing what’s actually going on.
Because the problem usually isn’t discipline.
 It’s awareness.
And once you see these patterns clearly, everything can start moving again.

She knew how to lose weight.
She just could not keep it off.
In this episode, I sit down with Joanne, a 55-year-old high achiever who spent decades trapped in the same exhausting cycle so many women know too well: lose weight, gain it back, promise to start again Monday, then blame herself when nothing changed.
She thought the problem was discipline.
 She thought she just needed to try harder.
 She thought she was the problem.
But that was never the truth.
What changed everything was not another diet, stricter rules, or more willpower. It was finally understanding what was actually driving her behavior with food in the first place.
Since joining Live360, Joanne has lost over 20 kilos and, for the first time in her life, kept it off. But more importantly, she feels proud of herself. She feels free. She trusts herself again.
In this conversation, we talk about:
 the hidden emotional patterns that kept her stuck for years 
 why knowing what to eat was never the real issue 
 how years of yo-yo dieting damaged her confidence 
 what finally helped her break the cycle 
 and why this has become about so much more than weight loss 
If you have ever thought, “Why can I succeed in every area of life except this?” this episode will hit hard.

This episode is not theory.
This is exactly how we coach our clients inside Live360 to finally break the cycle.
Because if you listened to the last episode, you’ve already started to see something important…
Your behavior around food isn’t random.
 And it’s not a discipline problem.
But today, we go deeper.
In this training, I break down:
 why your nervous system controls your cravings, consistency, and metabolism 
 why you can feel motivated one day and completely out of control the next 
 what’s actually happening before you even have a thought 
 why traditional dieting completely misses this piece 
 and why you cannot “think your way” out of this 
This is the reason:
 you can eat perfectly all day… then lose control at night 
 you know what to do… but don’t follow through 
 you keep starting again… even though nothing changes 
Because this is happening before willpower even kicks in.
Once you understand this, everything shifts.
You stop blaming yourself.
You stop trying to force discipline.
And you start working with your body instead of against it.

You don’t lack discipline.
 You’re just trying to solve the wrong problem.
If you:
 eat when you’re not hungry 
 feel out of control around food 
 start again every Monday 
 and keep blaming yourself 
This episode will change how you see everything.
Because the issue isn’t willpower.
It’s your nervous system.
Inside this episode, I break down:
 why “trying harder” is actually keeping you stuck 
 what’s really happening when “something takes over” 
 how stress, overwhelm, and pressure drive overeating 
 the 3 states your body cycles through (and how each one affects your behavior) 
 why diets fail the moment life gets hard 
And most importantly…
Why this is not your fault but it is your responsibility to fix it differently.
Once you understand this, you stop fighting yourself.
And that’s when everything starts to change.
