SHOW NOTES

Today, Marcia sits down with Brian McCullough—longtime friend, former video producer turned pastor, and a Naturally Slim® (now Wondr Health™) success story. Brian lost 90 pounds in 6 months (and ~145 pounds from his highest weight) and has kept it off for over a decade by practicing a handful of common-sense principles—not restriction. This honest, hope-filled talk unpacks the science, stories, and simple shifts behind sustainable change.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The 20-minute rule that stops overeating (and why slowing down is a superpower)
  • The difference between hunger and appetite—and how to enjoy treats without “starting over”
  • “Delay, don’t deny”: a practical way to eat what you love and still lose weight
  • How hidden beliefs (“clean your plate,” “don’t waste food”) quietly drive weight gain—and how to rewrite them
  • Why studying thousands of real-life food diaries beat diet dogma (and the early call that sugar wasn’t helping)
  • The thin-person habits anyone can adopt: eat when hungry, stop when comfortable, savor every bite
  • How a corporate program scaled to help millions—and what still matters one plate at a time
  • Brian’s family-level transformation: more energy, more presence, and a healthier legacy for his kids

Whether you’ve tried every diet, want a saner approach to food, or need fresh motivation to get back on track, this conversation gives you the clarity and tools to make changes that last.
