About this listen

Most diets fail, not because you’re lazy, but because the real reasons for weight gain and poor health are being hidden from you. I’m Matty Lansdown - scientist, nutritionist, and emotional eating specialist, here to help you lose weight naturally, stop emotional eating, heal your metabolism, and fix your relationship with food… without calorie counting or restriction.


Every Monday, get a 10-15 min pep talk to kickstart your week. Every Wednesday, join me and my guests - leading doctors, nutritionists, psychologists, alternative health pioneers, and truth-telling industry insiders - for 40-60 min deep dives into everything from gut health, diabetes, cancer, and food as medicine to mindset, medical myths, and the messy truth about the health system. Sometimes you’ll laugh, sometimes you’ll squirm - but you’ll always walk away with tools to take control of your health for good.

  • Why We Have Trauma Bonds, Codependency & Need Healing with Dr. Nima Rahmany | EP 501
    Jan 27 2026

    In this raw and deeply human conversation, Dr. Nima Rahmany returns to the show to share his radical personal transformation - from a trauma-bonded relationship that ended in legal and emotional consequences, to becoming a cycle breaker, conscious parent, and educator on nervous system regulation and secure attachment.

    Topics we explore:

    • Why information overload isn't healing - and what actually is
    • His dark turning point and what made him finally do the work
    • What “becoming trigger proof” really means (not trigger-less!)
    • Navigating guilt, shame, and self-forgiveness after major mistakes
    • How trauma bonds and codependency show up in most relationships
    • Why sugar, food, weed, and sex are emotional regulators — and how to stop using them that way
    • The link between unresolved trauma and sustainable weight loss
    • What it actually means to be a cycle breaker

    Jan 21 2026

    After 500 episodes, Matty shares his most raw, heartfelt, and perspective-shifting insights to date. What happens when your why gets deeper than abs and weight loss? When responsibility shifts from personal performance to legacy? This isn’t just a celebration episode—it’s a life check.

    On this episode we covered:

    • Why “I’d die for my family” is easier than living well for them
    • The unexpected shift in empathy, leadership, and health post fatherhood
    • How overloading - not brokenness - is the real enemy in weight loss and health
    • Why convenience is costing us our wellbeing (and our kids’)
    • The truth about why vanity never works as a weight loss motivator
    • Systems vs. willpower: how to finally stop quitting on yourself
    • Powerful questions to help find your true why and stop sleepwalking through life

    Jan 14 2026

    What if your weight struggles, anxiety, and brain fog weren’t you - but your hormones? Dr. Louise Newson joins Matty to unpack the real, overlooked science of female hormone health and why so many women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or medicated instead of actually helped.

    On this episode we covered:

    • The reason so many women are misdiagnosed with depression instead of hormone imbalance
    • How estrogen influences weight gain, motivation, sleep, and mental health
    • Why the medical system is failing perimenopausal women and what needs to change
    • What women really need to know about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
    • Busting the biggest myths around menopause and weight
