GLP-1 Drugs Are Just Diet Culture With a Prescription

2026-09-1740:25

Send us Fan Mail Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, semaglutide, tirzepatide, GLP-1s, whatever name you know them by, they work. People lose serious weight, health markers improve, and for some folks the constant food noise finally gets quiet. I’m not here to argue with that reality. I’m here to ask the question almost nobody wants to sit with: what did you learn while it was easier? We draw a hard line between weight loss and weight management. The scale tells you one thing: you weigh less. It does...

Stop Mourning Summer. Start Building While Everyone's Coasting.

2026-09-0229:46

Send us Fan Mail Summer ends, and a lot of people quietly give themselves permission to quit. That single decision is the start of the same painful loop: coast through fall, gain through the holidays, swear you’ll “get serious” in January, and then panic-buy a crash plan when May shows up again. We’re not doing that. We’re calling out the real problem: urgency is not motivation, it’s a trap that steals your ability to choose. We break down why deadlines create desperation, why desperation cr...

Body Positivity and Diet Culture Are The Same Scam (Just Different Packaging)

2026-08-2630:57

Send us Fan Mail Body positivity says “accept yourself,” diet culture says “fix yourself,” and a lot of people end up using both as permission to stay exactly where they are. We’re calling that out, hard. Because the real issue isn’t influencers, AI, complicated protocols, or the latest trend. It’s the moment you avoid the one thing that actually changes your body and your life: choosing a different action today, then repeating it tomorrow. We walk through how the two extremes work like a tr...

The Algorithm Knows Your Weakness. That's the Entire Game.

2026-08-2133:13

Send us Fan Mail AI is making weight loss advice louder, slicker, and way more convincing, and that should worry you. Today I’m tearing into how AI fitness influencers can crank out “science-backed” captions, keto explanations, intermittent fasting scripts, and personalized meal plans in seconds, all designed to sound authoritative while keeping you confused. The tech is not solving your fat loss problem. It’s scaling the same old diet industry playbook and making it harder to see what’s real...

The Yo-Yo Cycle Is Proof You Really Don't Want It

2026-08-1233:42

Send us Fan Mail You can lose weight on almost anything for a few weeks. The real question is why it keeps coming back. I go straight at the uncomfortable answer: the yo-yo cycle is not proof your metabolism is broken, and it is not evidence you just have not found the “right program.” It is proof you keep treating weight loss like a temporary project, then returning to the same defaults that got you overweight in the first place. We unpack what yo-yo dieting really is beneath the scale: swi...
