The eat.simple Podcast

What did you eat for breakfast this morning? Coffee? A smoothie? A little yogurt bowl? Or nothing because you're "not a breakfast person"?Now think about what happened at 3 PM yesterday. And again at 9 PM.The afternoon energy crash. The constant snacking. The cravings that show up after dinner, even though you've been trying to eat well all day. What if those moments are connecte...

I've maintained my weight loss for 15 years. No calorie counting. No macro tracking. No points. No food scales. And yes, I still eat pasta, drink wine, and enjoy chocolate lava cake on vacation. The difference? I don't spend the next morning trying to make up for it. Today, I'm sharing the seven simple habits I've used to maintain my weight for 15 years without tracking a single ca...

Ever opened a bag of chips and wondered why you can't seem to stop eating? You can eat a plate of eggs and feel completely satisfied. But somehow, a bag of chips, a sleeve of crackers, or a bowl of ice cream never gives you that same "I'm done" feeling. And then you blame your willpower. But what if the problem isn't your appetite? What if it's the food itself? In this vi...

Apparently, at some point, protein became math. And now we've got women standing in their kitchens at 8:30 PM eating cottage cheese because an app says they're 20 grams short. We've turned one of the most basic human nutritional needs into another thing to track, measure, and obsess over. But here's the thing: protein matters enormously. That's exactly why I want you to stop tr...

I didn't decide not to have children. I just didn't have them. And those are two very different things. For years, I've been asked, "Do you have kids?" And when I say no, the next question is almost always, "Why not?"It's a simple question with a very complicated answer. In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most personal stories I've ever told. Why I...

If your weight-loss plan feels too hard to keep doing, that isn’t a sign you need more discipline. It’s a sign the plan might be too hard. Because it doesn’t matter how “perfect” a strategy is if you can only sustain it for a few weeks. For decades, women have been taught that weight loss is supposed to require sacrifice, restriction, tracking, exhausting workouts, and constant willpower. And when...

In this video, I’m breaking down what actually happens during a fat-loss plateau, why your metabolism adapts as you lose weight, why hunger and food noise can increase, and why cutting harder may deepen the very adaptation you’re trying to escape. Because a plateau isn’t necessarily your body failing. Sometimes it’s your body doing exactly what bodies do: adapting. In this video you’ll learn: • Wh...

“I just need someone to hold me accountable.”I hear this from women all the time. But most of what the diet industry calls accountability isn’t really accountability. It’s compliance. Someone gives you the rules. You report back. You hit the numbers. You keep the streak alive. And the fear of disappointing your coach, your app, or yourself keeps you “on track.”Until the support disappears. Then su...

When the weight-loss strategies that worked for years suddenly stop working in midlife, most women respond by trying harder. Eat less. Exercise more. Cut carbs. Fast longer. And when the body still doesn’t respond? They blame themselves. But your body didn’t betray you—it adapted. In this video, I break down what changes during menopause, how insulin resistance affects midlife weight loss, and why...

What if the diet has been stealing your vacations before they even begin? In this video, I'm talking about the loop so many women have been living inside for decades—and why losing a few more pounds has never actually been enough to get you out of it. Because the real cost of dieting isn't just weight regain. It's presence. It's the vacation you were physically on but couldn't...

You're not lazy. You're not lacking discipline. And you don't need to "get it together" one more time. If you've spent years bouncing between eating very little, getting desperately hungry, overeating, feeling guilty, and promising yourself you'll do better tomorrow, the problem might not be your willpower at all. It might be the pattern. Your body is constantly colle...

Sleep might be doing more for your metabolism than your diet is. Not because food doesn't matter. Because sleep sets the terms your food operates under. A rough night can change insulin sensitivity, hunger, cravings, stress hormones, and even your ability to make the food choices you planned to make the next day. And if you're one of those women who falls asleep exhausted... only to sudden...

That off-plan meal probably isn't what's sabotaging your weight loss. The guilt afterward might be. For decades, women have been taught that feeling guilty after eating something "bad" is a form of accountability. You ate the brownie, went off plan, or overate at dinner—so you feel terrible about it and promise yourself you'll make up for it tomorrow. Skip breakfast. Eat less...

Are GLP-1 medications replacing healthy eating and exercise? Is the wellness industry losing credibility? And what does the future of fitness actually look like? In this conversation with Dr. Mike , we explore why so many people are losing trust in wellness trends, what he calls the "miracle economy," and why GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, semaglutide, and tirzepatide are changing weigh...

Changing the way you eat doesn't have to feel exciting all the time. One of the biggest complaints I hear from women trying to improve their health is, "I'm bored of my food."But what if that isn't boredom at all? In this video, I explain why what many women call "food boredom" is actually one of the body's natural satiety signals. We talk about palate fatigue,...

Ever wondered why Ozempic helps people feel full? Here's the part almost nobody is talking about... Your body already makes the same hormone. Every time you eat a real, satisfying meal, your body releases GLP-1—one of your natural satiety hormones. The question isn't whether you have GLP-1. It's whether you're giving your body a reason to produce enough of it. In this video, I expl...

#WeightLoss #Perimenopause #MidlifeHealthWhat if the biggest reason you're struggling with food isn't a lack of willpower......it's that you've spent years ignoring your body's most important signals? Most women have been taught to trust calories, macros, points, meal plans, fasting windows, and portion sizes more than their own biology. After decades of dieting, it's no wo...

For the first time, I turned on the camera without a script, without an outline, and without editing. Just one conversation. A few years ago, I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize my own body. My waist had changed. My belly had changed. My blood sugar was climbing again. My mental health wasn’t where I wanted it to be. My instinct was the same one so many women have: Work harder. Eat less. P...

#WeightLoss #MetabolicHealth #InsulinResistance #FoodFreedom What if one of the most powerful forms of fasting didn't require skipping breakfast, counting hours, or white-knuckling your way through hunger? In this episode, I explain the concept of between-meal fasting — a simple practice I teach every client that helps improve insulin sensitivity, support fat burning, regulate appetite, improv...

Why do you feel so different from one day to the next—even when your body hasn’t actually changed? One day you feel confident, capable, and comfortable in your skin. The next day you feel bloated, puffy, unattractive, discouraged, and convinced everything is going backward. In this episode, I explain why those dramatic shifts in body image are often driven more by hormones, inflammation, nervous s...

Why does weight loss feel like it has to be miserable to work? In this episode, I’m making the case that your weight loss program should feel suspiciously easy — not magical, not lazy — but low-friction enough to fit into your actual life. Because you cannot white-knuckle your way through the next 30 years. 📌 I have designed a process to help women lose weight and resolve midlife metabolic dysfun...

Most weight loss advice sounds scientific. And also... positions you as kind of a dummy who can't figure things out for yourself. Should you expect to feel hungry while losing weight? Is obesity a disease? Should everyone be on Ozempic? Do walking pads “count”? Are “maintenance calories” even real? I hear these questions constantly on podcasts and YouTube channels, and honestly, the answers us...

If you feel like you're constantly thinking about food… This is for you. Most women have been told that “food noise” is emotional eating, lack of discipline, or a mindset problem. I don’t think that’s true. In this video, I break down the 7 types of food noise—and why most of them have nothing to do with psychology, and everything to do with hunger, biology, and decades of diet programming. 📌...

What if your “food noise” is not some mysterious psychological flaw… but just hunger that has never been properly answered? In this episode, I’m walking you through eat.simple Rule #1: Always answer hunger with a meal. We’re talking about why snacking all day backfires, why a “healthy” eating pattern can still be metabolically unhelpful, why satiety matters more than tiny diet-coded portions, and...

Food Boredom Isn’t the Problem: The Demure Female Eating Pattern If you keep saying you’re “bored of healthy food,” this episode is going to hit a nerve. Because chances are, you’re not actually bored. You’re deeply, cumulatively dissatisfied . In this episode, I unpack what I calls the demure female eating pattern : the lifelong habit of eating small, light, careful, socially acceptable meals tha...
