Description

Welcome back to ReWire Your Weight, the podcast for busy professionals and high performers who are tired of the endless cycle of dieting, restriction, and food noise. In this episode, host Rachel Foy tackles the ever-present myth of willpower when it comes to food, eating, and sustainable weight loss. So often, we’re told that if we just had more discipline or tried a little harder, we’d finally reach our goals but as Rachel explains, willpower is actually a terrible long-term strategy and can keep us stuck in patterns that don’t serve us.

Rachel dives into the real science of willpower, why it’s more like a rechargeable battery that depletes throughout the day, and how our habits around food are actually wired deep in the subconscious not something we can just outthink or force our way through. She shares her unique brain-based approach from the ReWire Your Weight program, offering practical alternatives to willpower and showing you how true change comes from rewiring your relationship with food at its very core.

If you’re ready to let go of all-or-nothing thinking, ditch the self-blame, and start creating ease, calm, and real freedom around food, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in!
