Explore every episode of the podcast Rewire Your Weight with Rachel Foy

In this episode, Rachel Foy examines the idea of powerlessness at the heart of Overeaters Anonymous and asks whether feeling powerless around food is the same as being powerless.

She explores where the 12-step model came from, why the evidence for Alcoholics Anonymous can’t automatically be applied to food, and how labels such as “food addict” or “compulsive overeater” may become part of someone’s identity. Rachel Foy also breaks down the belief loop linking restriction, craving, overeating, guilt, and renewed restriction.

The central question is simple but challenging: what if compulsive overeating is a learned pattern rather than a permanent identity? Rachel Foy shares why she believes recovery means collecting new evidence, changing the brain’s expectations, and eventually making food psychologically unimportant.

In this episode, Rachel Foy challenges the idea that weight loss is “boringly simple” if you’re willing to take 15,000 steps a day, train four times a week, and live on chicken, fish, and rice. She explains why advice that looks simple on paper can be impossible to sustain inside a real life filled with work, family, relationships, illness, holidays, and unexpected cake.

Rachel Foy reframes repeated dieting “failure”: maybe the problem isn’t your discipline, but strategies that were never realistic enough to last. She explores how restrictive rules create food noise, guilt, all-or-nothing thinking, and the cycle of overeating, before making the case for changing your relationship with food first.

This episode is about creating a way of eating and moving that fits your life, without making fat loss your full-time job or bullying yourself into a smaller body.

In this episode, Rachel Foy explores how childhood belief systems can shape our relationship with food long after we’ve stopped consciously believing in them. Drawing on her experience growing up Catholic, she examines the connections between being “good,” following rules, self-control, pleasure, guilt, and shame.

She explains how dieting can become another system for measuring your worth, especially when food rules reinforce older beliefs about disappointing people, putting yourself last, or not being good enough. She also looks at how pressure to clear your plate can override hunger and fullness cues, and why rebellion around food may be a response to years of excessive control.

This isn’t about blaming religion, parents, or schools. It’s an invitation to get curious about what you learned before food became difficult, and to question whether those beliefs still deserve a place in your life.

Rachel explores why food addiction can feel like such a relief after years of shame, dieting, restriction, and feeling out of control. The label may offer compassion and explain why food feels so powerful, but it can also become an identity that teaches you to expect permanence and fear certain foods.

Drawing on her own 14-year experience with binge eating, Rachel Foy examines the difference between experiencing a powerful learned response around food and believing you’ll always be powerless around it. She looks at restriction, emotional eating, food noise, habit, scarcity, and the beliefs that can reinforce the cycle.

The central question isn’t simply whether food addiction exists. It’s what happens when you believe you’re addicted to food. Does that belief help you understand yourself and see change as possible, or does it become another reason to fear yourself?

What if some of the rules you follow around food, weight, and health feel like facts only because you’ve heard them repeated for so long? In this episode, Rachel Foy explores how beliefs can hide in plain sight, shaping what we eat, how we move, and how we judge our bodies

She examines the origins and assumptions behind BMI, the supposedly magical target of 10,000 steps, and the idea that everyone should eat three meals a day. The point isn’t to distrust everything. It’s to pair curiosity with discernment, question where these ideas came from, and notice what believing them makes you do

In this episode, host Rachel Foy dives deep into a topic that often flies under the radar in the weight loss conversation: emotional eating.

Rachel shares her personal journey with emotional eating and challenges the outdated idea that it's not a “real” problem worth addressing. She breaks down exactly what emotional eating is, why willpower and discipline aren’t enough to solve it and why even appetite-suppressing medications like GLP-1s don’t get to the root cause. You’ll learn why so many of us are stuck soothing our feelings with food and why this has more to do with emotional regulation skills we never learned growing up than with a lack of control.

If you’ve ever found yourself reaching for snacks when you’re stressed, lonely or just overwhelmed no matter how much you promise yourself not to this episode will help you understand why. Rachel outlines how to start rewiring your brain and building healthier coping strategies, so you can finally become a “normal eater” and achieve lasting freedom from food struggles.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked aspects of weight loss: your beliefs. Rachel shares why traditional advice like “just eat less” or “have more willpower” never gets to the root of the issue. Instead, it’s the subconscious beliefs you hold about food, your body and weight loss that truly drive your habits and keep you stuck in cycles of self-sabotage and yo-yo dieting.

Rachel unpacks what beliefs really are, how they’re formed and reveals common ones that might be sabotaging your progress without you even realising it. She explains how your actions always match your beliefs and offers eye-opening examples that will help you understand why willpower alone isn’t enough for lasting change. By the end of this episode, you’ll see why shifting your beliefs can transform your relationship with food and make healthy choices feel almost effortless.
