#161A - Ozempic, Wegovy & What They Don’t Change - Quit your Diet

A woman looked in the mirror after plastic surgery and still saw someone she didn’t like. That moment changed the life of Dr. Maxwell Maltz—and it changed the way I think about weight loss too.

I’m Michael Dawson, author of Quit Your Diet, and in this episode, I’m digging into the conversation around Ozempic, Wegovy, and the so-called miracle weight-loss drugs. But instead of just focusing on the headlines, I want to talk about what these medications don’t address: your mindset, your self-image, and your real relationship with food.

I share:

• Why weight-loss drugs might be a short-term fix with long-term uncertainty

• The real reason so many diets fail—and what to do instead

• My QYD framework, a psychological path to food freedom

• How to build lasting autonomy instead of dependency

• And why the image we hold of ourselves might be the most important piece of all

If you’re tired of dieting, unsure about the hype around injections, or just ready for something that feels more human—this episode is for you.
