Text us a comment or question! In this episode, I talk about the post-diet phase and what you should do after finishing a diet to keep the weight off long-term.

Text us a comment or question! As men, we’re taught from an early age to “toughen up” and not talk about our feelings. But burying our emotions and trauma doesn’t make them go away – it usually just leads to more struggle down the road.

Text us a comment or question! The episode starts with me making an analogy to lottery winners - how they often end up broke because they don't learn good financial habits first. The same goes for rapid weight loss without good habits in place.
