If you’ve ever felt like you “failed” a diet because you lacked willpower, trust me — I’ve been there. I used to think I just needed to be tougher. More disciplined. More motivated.
But, here’s what I learned:
It’s not a willpower problem. It’s a system problem.
Why Willpower Fails
Your brain isn’t designed to white-knuckle your way through change. Especially not when you’re:
tired
stressed
inflamed
undernourished
overwhelmed
And most people who come to me have tried everything — diets, workouts, detoxes — and still don’t feel better.
What Actually Works
fixing gut health
cleaning up food intake
removing inflammatory foods
focusing on protein and whole foods
building a support system
restoring energy
strengthening the body with weights
improving sleep
You don’t need willpower when your habits are built for real humans — not superheroes.
