In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Why Punishing Yourself Doesn’t Work: The Real Psychology Behind Weight Loss 21:08

5 days ago21:08

21:08

Show Notes: Summary: In this episode, Rick clears up one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness world: the idea that self-punishment leads to progress. With clarity, humor, and science-backed insight, he breaks down the real meaning of negative reinforcement, why most people are using it wrong, and what strategies actually work when it comes to lasting behavior change. If you’ve ever tried to guilt yourself into losing weight, this episode is your permission to stop—and start building smarter habits instead. Key Takeaways: Punishment suppresses behavior but doesn’t teach better habits. Without learning, the same behaviors resurface. Negative reinforcement is misunderstood. It’s about removing barriers—not punishing slip-ups. Controlling your environment can help—but only up to a point. Real life brings temptation no matter how clean your pantry is. Positive reinforcement builds lasting change. Rewarding small wins reinforces consistency and identity. Tying rewards to behavior, not just results, keeps motivation alive. This builds momentum long before big milestones arrive. Clarity creates progress. Knowing the difference between reinforcement and punishment changes how you approach every choice. Ditch the guilt and start reinforcing what works. Apply one takeaway this week and watch your mindset shift. Want to go further? Tune into the next episode to learn how to build your own personal reward system that keeps you going—no matter what the scale says.…

Why Losing the Last 5 Pounds Feels Impossible (And How to Outsmart It) 19:26

13 days ago19:26

19:26

Show Notes: Episode Summary: In this episode, Rick pulls back the curtain on why those final 5 pounds feel like a fight against gravity itself. It’s not about working harder, starving yourself, or being more “disciplined.” It’s about understanding the hidden math, the sneaky biological adaptations, and the small but crucial adjustments you need to make. Get ready for some brutal honesty, real science, and a crystal-clear plan for breaking through the final plateau. Key Takeaways: Weight loss slows down because your smaller body burns fewer calories, even at rest. Plateaus aren’t failures—they’re predictable checkpoints your body hits during major transformation. Exercise calorie burn is often overestimated by 3–4 times, while food intake is underestimated by up to 50%. Brutally honest food tracking—even temporarily—can expose invisible calorie leaks that stall progress. Small, strategic tweaks beat drastic overhauls when margins are tight. Precision matters more than effort. Slow, patient adjustments based on weekly trends (not daily noise) lead to lasting success. Pick one small tweak you uncovered today and commit to it for the next week. Then observe the trend, adjust smartly, and stay steady. For even more momentum, tune in to our upcoming episode on building sustainable meal planning routines that keep you progressing—without feeling like you’re dieting forever.…

Stop Fighting Your Food: 7 Sneaky Nutrition Tweaks That Actually Stick 23:03

20 days ago23:03

23:03

Show Notes: Episode Summary: In this episode, Rick dives deep into the most overlooked, overcomplicated part of losing weight: nutrition. But forget the fads and food guilt—this isn’t about restriction or white-knuckling your way through life. It’s about smart, strategic tweaks that rewire your habits, outsmart cravings, and set you up for long-term success. Backed by behavioral science and sprinkled with Rick’s signature no-nonsense wit, these seven shifts will change the way you think about eating—for goo d. Key Takeaways: You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. Even killer workouts can’t compensate for constant overeating. Focus on your fork first. Make your environment do the work. If junk food’s not in the house, you don’t need willpower to resist it. Slow eating gives your body time to catch up. Most people finish eating before their brain gets the memo they’re full. Restaurant portions are sabotage in disguise. Halve your meal upfront and take the rest home—your waistline and wallet will thank you. Water before meals reduces overeating. Hydration clears up false hunger signals and helps you tune into real cues. Adding is just as important as subtracting. More fiber, more protein, more volume means more satisfaction—and fewer cravings. Habit stacking turns new behaviors into automatic routines. Link each new nutrition tweak to something you already do daily. Pick one of these simple tweaks and commit to it this week. Want to take it further? Be sure to check out our upcoming episode on building a no-stress weekly meal plan—because consistency beats perfection every time.…

How to Use Autosuggestion for Weight Loss: A Beginner’s Guide to Mind-Body Change 20:30

25 days ago20:30

20:30

Show Notes: Episode Summary: In this episode, we break down how autosuggestion for weight loss can help you reprogram the beliefs that silently sabotage your progress. If you've ever felt like your mindset is the thing holding you back—no matter how many diets or workouts you've tried—this is the missing piece. You'll learn how to rewrite your internal script so your habits finally align with your goals. Key Takeaways: Autosuggestion is how you rewire your subconscious beliefs for lasting weight loss. It’s not hype—it’s habit-based mental reprogramming that works beneath the surface. Your subconscious doesn’t argue—it obeys repetition. Repeat what you want to believe until it becomes what you do believe. Use short or long-form scripts, but keep them emotionally charged and present-tense. Phrases like “I am becoming stronger every day” land better than vague or negative self-talk. Pair autosuggestion with visualization and feeling for maximum impact. See the version of yourself you’re becoming—then speak as if you’re already there. Identity-based autosuggestions have the most staying power. Shifting from “I want to lose weight” to “I’m the kind of person who honors their health” creates lasting change. Consistency, not perfection, is the magic. Build a daily autosuggestion habit, and give it 30 days before judging results. Pick one autosuggestion from today’s episode and say it out loud tonight . Want to go deeper? Download the bonus long-form scripts and start a 30-day mental reset. And don’t forget to subscribe—next episode, we’ll dive into the difference between autosuggestion and affirmations, and when to use each.…

Snack Attack or Stress Attack? How to Outsmart Emotional Eating 23:32

5 weeks ago23:32

23:32

Show Notes: Summary: In this powerful episode, Rick Taylar digs into the psychology of emotional eating and why your cravings might be whispering more than just “I’m hungry.” Through humor, science, and some brutally honest truth bombs, you'll learn how to spot emotional eating in real-time, disrupt the cycle, and develop new habits that actually nourish your body and your brain. If you've ever found yourself elbow-deep in snacks wondering “Why am I doing this?”, this episode was made for you. Key Takeaways: Emotional eating is often a biological and psychological response—not a failure of willpower. Cravings driven by emotion tend to be urgent, specific, and disconnected from true hunger. Mindless eating—often triggered by stress, boredom, or routine—can become a hardwired habit loop. The “10-Minute Pause Trick” is a science-backed strategy to break the impulse-to-snack cycle. Mindful eating isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, curiosity, and self-connection. Emotional eating can be a red flag for deeper emotional needs—and reaching out for help is a powerful, healing next step. Enjoyed this episode? Share it with someone who stress-eats their way through deadlines. And if you're ready to go deeper, don’t miss our next episode where we explore how your environment could be setting the stage for self-sabotage—before you even open the fridge.…

Why Your Habits Are Sabotaging Your Weight—and How to Outsmart Them 17:25

5 weeks ago17:25

17:25

Show Notes: Episode Summary In this episode, Rick Taylar dives deep into the real reason so many people struggle to lose weight—and keep it off. Spoiler: it’s not your willpower. It’s your habits. Drawing from behavioral science, psychology, and real-life experience, this episode explores how to break free from destructive routines, build new ones that stick, and finally create a lifestyle that works for you . Whether you’ve tried every diet under the sun or you're just tired of the yo-yo cycle, this conversation will reframe how you approach weight loss—one simple habit at a time. Key Takeaways: Your brain craves routines—even if those routines are ruining your health. Understanding the habit loop (cue, routine, reward) is step one to breaking it. Small, consistent actions beat big, dramatic changes every time. Think drinking water before meals, walking more, or using smaller plates—not detox bootcamps. Weight gain isn’t just about food—it’s about sleep, stress, and daily rhythm. Lack of sleep, erratic schedules, and sitting all day are silent saboteurs. You don’t break bad habits by stopping them—you replace them. Find a new behavior that hits the same reward center in your brain. Your environment either supports your goals or quietly destroys them. Design your surroundings to make healthy choices the easiest option. Lasting change is identity-driven, not motivation-driven. Don’t just act differently— become the kind of person who lives differently. If this episode sparked something in you, don’t stop here. Take one small action today to change your environment, your routine, or your mindset. Then, hit that follow button and join Rick next week for another hot topic episode. You won’t want to miss it.…

4 Game-Changing Mindset Shifts for Sustainable Weight Loss 14:42

6 weeks ago14:42

14:42

Show Notes: Episode Summary: Ever nailed a diet, only to find yourself right back where you started a month later? You’re not alone—and it’s not because you’re lazy or lack willpower. In this episode, Rick dives deep into the real reason most weight loss efforts don’t stick: mindset. Forget the fads and quick fixes. These four simple, powerful shifts will change the way you think about weight loss—and help you keep your results for life. Key Takeaways: Stop chasing short-term results. Sustainable change starts when you commit to habits you can stick with for years, not weeks. Master the boring basics. Eating real food, sleeping well, moving your body—these never stop working. Detach your progress from the scale. Focus on consistent actions, not daily fluctuations that mess with your head. Celebrate tiny wins. Reinforcing small, positive actions builds momentum and rewires your brain for success. It’s not a willpower problem—it’s a thinking problem. Reframe your approach, and the process becomes way more manageable. Consistency beats intensity. If you can’t do it for six months, it’s not a solution—it’s a distraction. If you’re tired of starting over, pick one of these mindset shifts and start living it today. And if this episode hit home, don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s ready to break the cycle too.…

Why Your Diet Isn’t Broken — Your Biology Is Just Smarter Than You Think 14:16

6 weeks ago14:16

14:16

Show Notes: Episode Summary: In this empowering episode of The Weight Loss Mindset , Rick Taylar dives into the surprising science behind why diets so often fail — and why it’s not your fault. Through bold truths, engaging analogies, and eye-opening psychological insights, Rick explains how biology, not willpower, plays the starring role in your body’s weight story. You’ll learn why shame doesn’t help, why evolution has stacked the deck, and what it really takes to build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food — and yourself. Key Takeaways: You’re already on a diet — it’s your daily food habits, not a temporary plan. Biology hasn’t caught up to modern food culture, making high-calorie cravings totally normal. Your body defends a ‘set point’ weight, which resists rapid changes — even healthy ones. Shame and negative self-talk actually increase stress and make lasting change harder. True health is behavior-based, not appearance-based — joy and connection matter. Sustainable change comes from self-respect, gentle nutrition, and listening to your body. If you’re tired of chasing the next quick-fix diet and ready to explore a deeper, more compassionate path to lasting health, make sure you’re following The Weight Loss Mindset wherever you listen. And stay tuned for the next episode, where Rick breaks down the powerful approach of intuitive eating — a no-guilt, no-drama way to heal your relationship with food.…

The Hidden Power of Water—Why Hydration Could Be the Missing Link in Your Health and Weight Loss Journey 24:59

7 weeks ago24:59

24:59

Show Notes: Brief Summary: In this eye-opening episode, Rick Taylar dives deep into one of the most overlooked tools for health and fat loss: water. This isn’t your basic “drink eight glasses” lecture—this is the real story behind hydration and how it affects your brain, metabolism, digestion, energy, and even your ability to lose weight. If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or constantly craving sugar, the problem might not be your diet or your discipline… it might be dehydration. Rick breaks down the science in plain English, shares surprising symptoms of underhydration, and shows you how to build a water habit that actually sticks. This episode might just change the way you think about water forever. Key Takeaways: Dehydration doesn’t just make you thirsty—it silently affects brain function, mood, energy, and even fat metabolism. Your organs—especially your brain, heart, kidneys, liver, and gut—require water to operate at full capacity. Even mild dehydration slows everything down. Common signs like fatigue, sugar cravings, headaches, and even joint pain may actually be symptoms of dehydration. Proper hydration boosts metabolism, curbs false hunger signals, improves digestion, and supports consistent weight loss without extreme effort. The “8 glasses a day” rule is outdated. Real hydration needs are personal and based on your lifestyle, body, and environment. You don’t need complicated strategies—just a few simple, consistent habits to make hydration automatic and sustainable. If this episode opened your eyes to the power of hydration, share it with someone who needs to hear it—especially if they’ve been feeling stuck in their weight loss journey. Want to see real change? Start by asking one simple question: “Have I had enough water today?” For more practical, no-fluff mindset strategies that help you lose weight and keep it off, follow The Weight Loss Mindset and never miss an episode.…

How to Finally Break Free from Diet Culture (For Good) 21:42

7 weeks ago21:42

21:42

Show Notes: Episode Summary: In this episode of The Weight Loss Mindset , host Rick Taylar exposes the biggest lie in the weight-loss industry—diets don’t work. Instead of restrictive eating plans that set you up for failure, this episode dives into the science behind why dieting backfires and how to build a sustainable, stress-free approach to food. If you’re tired of the endless cycle of restriction, guilt, and “starting over,” this conversation will change the way you think about eating forever. Key Takeaways: Dieting is a billion-dollar industry that profits from your failure – The worse you feel about your body, the more money companies make selling weight-loss solutions. Your body fights back against restriction – Calorie-cutting and food rules trigger survival mechanisms that slow your metabolism and increase cravings. The diet mentality leads to obsession and guilt – Seeing food as “good” or “bad” disconnects you from your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues. Lasting weight management is about habits, not quick fixes – Studies show that flexible, intuitive eating leads to better long-term health than dieting. Your body already knows how to regulate itself – When you stop controlling every bite, you naturally make better choices over time. You don’t need another diet—you need a mindset shift – The goal isn’t perfect eating; it’s a sustainable, healthy relationship with food. If you’re ready to stop dieting and start trusting your body, subscribe to The Weight Loss Mindset and never miss an episode. Want more practical strategies for breaking free from diet culture?

Are You Sabotaging Your Own Weight Loss? Here’s How to Stop 28:27

8 weeks ago28:27

28:27

Show Notes: Episode Summary You’re working hard to lose weight—eating better, moving more, and making healthier choices. But what if the real reason you’re stuck isn’t lack of effort, but hidden habits quietly sabotaging your progress? In this episode, Rick Taylar dives into seven sneaky ways people unknowingly derail their weight loss goals—and, more importantly, how to fix them. Backed by science and packed with actionable strategies, this episode will help you break through plateaus, reset your habits, and finally see results. If you feel like you’re doing everything right but still not losing weight, this episode is a must-listen. Key Takeaways Stress makes your body hold onto fat. Chronic stress raises cortisol levels, increases cravings, and slows metabolism. Learn how to manage it effectively. You’re probably eating more than you think. Portion sizes are deceiving, and studies show most people underestimate calorie intake by 30-50%. Poor sleep messes with hunger and metabolism. Less sleep means higher cravings, lower energy, and increased fat storage. Exercise isn’t optional. Even small amounts of daily movement help burn fat, boost metabolism, and prevent muscle loss. Late-night snacking stalls weight loss. Eating before bed raises insulin, prevents fat burning, and leads to overeating the next day. Protein and water are secret weight-loss weapons. Both help control hunger, speed up metabolism, and improve fat loss results. Ready to Take Action? Stop wondering why the scale isn’t moving—start fixing the habits that are holding you back. Pick one takeaway from this episode and apply it starting today. If you found this episode helpful, share it with a friend who might be struggling with the same roadblocks.

How Gut Bacteria Affects Weight Loss (And Why Your Microbiome Might Be Sabotaging You) 24:16

8 weeks ago24:16

24:16

Show Notes: Episode Summary: For years, we’ve been told that weight loss is all about willpower, calories, and exercise. But what if the real problem isn’t you—it’s your gut bacteria? In this episode, we uncover the shocking truth about how your microbiome controls cravings, metabolism, and fat storage. You’ll learn why fat bacteria might be hijacking your body, making weight loss nearly impossible, and how you can flip the script to make your gut work for you—not against you. If you’ve ever felt like your body is fighting your weight loss efforts, this episode will change everything. Key Takeaways: 1. Your Gut Bacteria Control More Than You Think Science shows that your microbiome predicts your weight with 90% accuracy—more than your genetics. If the wrong bacteria dominate, weight gain is inevitable. 2. Fat Bacteria Hijack Your Cravings and Metabolism Certain bacteria literally rewire your hunger hormones, slow your metabolism, and make you crave sugar and junk food. This isn’t just a lack of willpower—it’s biological sabotage. 3. The Mind-Blowing Story of a Woman Who “Caught” Obesity A woman received a gut bacteria transplant from her obese daughter—and within a year, she gained 34 pounds and became obese herself. This proves your microbiome dictates how your body stores fat. 4. Lean Bacteria Make Weight Loss Easier Strains like Lactobacillus gasseri, L. rhamnosus, and L. fermentum are scientifically proven to burn fat, suppress cravings, and speed up metabolism. 5. How to Flip the Balance and Lose Fat Naturally Ditch sugar, processed foods, and artificial sweeteners (which feed fat bacteria). Instead, fuel your lean bacteria with fermented foods, prebiotic fiber, green tea, and a high-quality probiotic. Ready to Take Action? Here’s What to Do Next: Weight loss isn’t just about diet and exercise—it’s about who’s in charge of your gut. If you want to make weight loss effortless, start by supporting your lean bacteria and evicting the bad ones. Loved this episode? Share it with someone who needs to hear this!

You feel tired, stressed, and tempted to quit. So, how do you keep going when motivation fades?

If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or ready to throw in the towel, this is the episode you NEED to hear. Key Takeaways: 1. Motivation is unreliable—discipline is the real key to success. Stop waiting to “feel like it” every day. Build habits that keep you on track, no matter what. 2. Your ‘why’ needs to be deep, not surface-level. A weak reason won’t carry you through hard days. Find a purpose that hits you emotionally. 3. Make your weight loss journey non-negotiable. Health isn’t optional—it’s a priority. Stop treating it like an afterthought. 4. Expect setbacks and keep going anyway. The scale will stall. You’ll slip up. That doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human. 5. Small, consistent actions create massive results. Don’t aim for perfection. Aim for progress. One good decision at a time adds up. This is YOUR journey. No more waiting. No more excuses. Pick ONE thing from today’s episode and start NOW.
