Do you constantly think about foodâeven when youâre not physically hungry? Are you planning your day around meals, feeling guilt after eating, or stuck in a binge-restrict cycle? That nonstop mental chatter is called food noise, and itâs more common (and more frustrating) than people realize.

⢠Why mindful eating, meal timing, and balanced nutrition make a huge difference
⢠How to build awareness and finally stop letting food run your life
Whether youâre working on fat loss, trying to heal your relationship with food, or just sick of the constant cravingsâthis oneâs for you.

This week, Iâm diving into a personal experience thatâs a little different from my usual fitness content. Iâve been open about my struggles with mental healthâOCD, anxiety, depressionâbut 2024 pushed me to my limits.
After losing $24K to a business coach who wrecked my confidence and left me questioning everything, I found myself in a deep hole.Iâve tried therapy, TMS, antidepressants⌠and nothing really got me where I needed to be.
So I decided to give Esketamine (Spravato) a shot. In this episode, I break down exactly what it was like, how it made me feel, what went wrong, and if itâs actually helping.
If youâve ever been curious about ketamine therapy, are struggling with your own mental health, or just want to hear an unfiltered take on what itâs like, this oneâs for you.
