Kitchen chat: Do we need to "fix" emotional eating?
In this Menopause Kitchen Chat I talk about my thoughts on emotional eating and how they have changed over the years.
Is emotional eating something we need to "fix" or can it be used with a range of other tools to get us through difficult times or uncomfortable emotions.
If you are experiencing challenges in your life or emotions that are making it difficult to have a quality of life, please reach out to someone or call the mental health/lifeline service in your country.

Nutrition & the brain: Can it help reduce the risk of dementia?
Can what we eat help prevent cognitive decline and dementia as we age? We may not be thinking about our brain when we think about nutrition. But the statistics in most wealthy countries show that dementia is one of the leading causes of death and women are more likely to be diagnosed.
This episode looks at the research into nutrition and brain health and whether what we eat can reduce our risk or delay the onset of cognitive decline.

Kitchen chat: My non-diet approach to movement
In this kitchen chat I talk about my journey with movement. I explain how I took the principles of the non-diet approach that I have used for food and applied it to how I move my body.
If you want to ditch the diet culture idea of exercise and learn to move your body more consistently and in a way that feels good for your body and suits your lifestyle, I hope this episode supports you to change your thinking and look at exercise in a more gentle way.
