For countless smart, high-achieving women and men, the battle with food and body image has felt endless. Diets work for a while—until they don’t. And the shame of “failing” yet again makes it all feel like a personal flaw.
But what if the real problem isn’t food, willpower, or discipline? What if your nervous system is stuck in a pattern of survival, and dieting only reinforces the struggle? The truth is, the rules, restrictions, and guilt are keeping you trapped—and stealing your freedom, joy, and peace.
In this episode, Leslie shares about her upcoming masterclass, and reveals why diets have failed you—and what actually works instead. She’ll guide you through the emotional and subconscious layers that drive compulsive eating, and teach you how to finally trust yourself around food. This isn't about willpower; it’s about lasting transformation, and stepping into the life—and the freedom—you were always meant to have.
"If you're done with food obsession, if you're done with the guilt and you don't want to dread summer anymore, if you want to let go of your fear of the scale and going to the doctors and seeing lab results, if you're ready to feel free and safe and powerful and really in charge of your life, again without the fear of overrating and all of that stuff, then come to this masterclass. I want you to join us in the program if it speaks to you. But even if you don't, I want this masterclass to change the way that you think forever." - Leslie Thornton
