Show Notes

Have you ever wondered why you can know exactly what to do—eat better, move more, stick with your plan—but somehow still find yourself slipping back into old habits? Why willpower works for a while… and then suddenly disappears?

That’s exactly what we’re diving into today with my special guest, Rita Black, who is a top clinical hypnotherapist, weight management expert, and best-selling author. Rita has spent decades helping people understand the brain science behind weight loss and how to rewire the subconscious patterns that can sabotage our best intentions.

In this conversation, we talk about the hidden mental patterns that drive eating habits, why traditional dieting often fails at the mindset level, and how shifting your subconscious thinking can make healthy choices feel more natural and sustainable.

If you’ve ever felt like part of you wants to lose weight—but another part of you keeps getting in the way—this episode is going to open your eyes in a really powerful way.
