Shut Up And Choose
The No-BS Weight Loss Podcast by Jonathan Ressler
How I Lost Over 140 Pounds Without Dieting, Without the Gym, and Without Giving Up the Foods I Love — And How You Can Too
If you're a busy executive who's tired of wasting money on diets, apps, and “weight loss hacks” that don’t work, this podcast is for you.
I’m Jonathan Ressler, Amazon bestselling author of Shut Up and Choose, keynote speaker, and former 411-pound chronic dieter who finally figured out what actually works. I lost over 140 pounds — not by starving, tracking, or living in the gym — but by making small, smart choices that fit into my real life.
Now, I coach high-achievers who are done with the BS.
No plans. No pills. No perfection.
Just straight talk, strategy, and sustainable results.
What You’ll Learn from Jonathan Ressler on This Podcast:
✔️ How to lose weight without tracking, starving, or obsessing over food
✔️ Why you don’t need a gym membership to drop serious weight
✔️ How to stop falling off and finally break the cycle for good
✔️ Why motivation is overrated—and what actually drives real results
✔️ The exact mindset shifts and daily moves that helped me lose 140+ pounds and keep it off
Who This Podcast Is For:
🔹 Executives, leaders, and professionals who’ve tried everything and are still stuck
🔹 People who want to lose weight without giving up their life, food, or sanity
🔹 High performers who need a real strategy that works in the chaos of everyday life

Why Listen to Shut Up and Choose with Jonathan Ressler?
Because this isn’t another “transformation story.” This is a blueprint.
