Why You Can't Out-Discipline a Broken Relationship With Food with Jared Hamilton

You can hit your macros, stack your steps, train five days a week, and still binge every Saturday night. That's not a discipline problem, and Jared Hamilton has 15 years of coaching data to prove it. In this episode, we get into why high-achievers are often the worst at losing weight, the "be → do → have" order most people run backwards, and why working out can quietly become just another way to suppress what you're feeling.Jared is the founder of Dieting From the Inside Out, a coaching program built around the idea that you have to fix your relationship with food, your emotional regulation, and your subconscious patterns before a calorie deficit will ever stick. He's coached thousands of clients (mostly career-driven, high-achieving women), just gave a TED talk on his philosophy, and has a book on the way. If you've ever wondered why all the "right" actions still don't add up to results, this conversation is going to land.In this episode:Why the more performance focused you are, the more important inner work becomes (and why bodybuilders keep walking off stage with eating disorders)The "house-building" analogy Jared uses to reframe weight loss for clients who don't think they need inner workWhy "I'm an all-or-nothing person" is almost always a self-told lie — and the simple cracked-phone test that proves itThe "be → do → have" order of operations, and why most people get it backwardsWhat separates emotional regulation from identity work, and how to actually feel your feelings (not just journal about them)The "knowledge trap", why listening to 400 podcast episodes can make you worse, not betterWhen the line between coaching and therapy actually matters, and the "no man's land" most people are stuck inJared's nuanced take on GLP-1s: why he's not anti-shot, but is anti-ignoranceLinks & resources mentioned: Jared's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jaredhamiltonIG: https://www.instagram.com/realjaredhamilton/Join the email list: https://assembleperformance.com/mailing-list-joinContact Me IG: https://www.instagram.com/justinsjones/Email: [email protected]: https://assembleperformance.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@justinjonesfitness
