The Stop. Dieting. Forever. Podcast with Jennifer Dent Brown
Is your dieter's mindset keeping you overweight?
Good question, right? Think about it—have all those diet rules actually helped you reach your forever weight? If you're here, chances are they haven’t.
I get it. And that’s exactly why I created the Stop. Dieting. Forever. podcast.
This isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about reinvention. The version of you that keeps the weight off for good doesn’t follow diet rules. She thinks differently. She acts differently. And that’s what I’ll help you do.
Each week, I’ll show you how to break free from the dieter’s mindset, rewire your habits, and step into your future self—the healthy, confident woman you crave to become.

EP 273. How to Build Healthy Habits While You’re on a GLP-1 (So the Results Actually Last)
GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro™ can reset your appetite—but only you can rewire your brain.

You know that Monday-morning moment when you step on the scale after a fun weekend… and it’s up three to five pounds? Cue the mental chaos: What did I eat? Why did I do that?
Take a deep breath, friend. The scale didn’t betray you — it just gave you data.
In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., I’m teaching you how to decode those numbers and ditch the drama. You’ll learn the Stop Dieting Forever Mindset — how to turn scale spikes into simple feedback, and how to use my five-point Satisfaction Scale so you can trust your body, not a diet rule.
