    Episode 180: Still Thinking Like a Dieter? | What Creates Lasting Healthy Eating?

    Many women stop dieting long before they stop thinking like a dieter. The food rules may be gone, but the thoughts often remain: "I've been good today." "I'll start again tomorrow." "I shouldn't have eaten that." In this episode of the Eating for You Podcast, I explore why letting go of restrictions can feel uncomfortable and why lasting healthy eating isn't about finding better food rules—it's about learning to understand yourself. Instead of replacing one eating plan with another, you'll discover why reflection, curiosity and mindful eating create confidence that lasts far beyond any diet. In this episode you'll learn: Why giving up food rules can feel unsettling How decades of dieting continue to influence your thinking The difference between restriction and reflection Why confidence grows from understanding yourself—not controlling yourself How mindful eating becomes "the gift that keeps on giving" If you've ever wondered: "If I stop dieting, how will I know what to eat?" this episode is for you.

    Episode 179: How Nasreen Stopped Starting Over With Food

    Many women know what healthy eating looks like. The struggle isn't nutrition knowledge. It's getting stuck in the cycle of "I'll start tomorrow." This week I'm joined by my client, Nasreen, who shares her honest journey from years of gaining and losing the same 10 kilograms, emotional eating, and feeling trapped by all-or-nothing thinking, to developing a calmer, more confident relationship with food. Rather than following another restrictive eating plan, Nasreen discovered how mindful eating, understanding her personal drivers for eating, and making small personalised changes transformed not only her eating habits but also her sleep, digestion, energy and confidence. In this conversation we discuss: • Why restriction made her eat more, not less • The hidden cost of "I'll start tomorrow" thinking • How understanding your personal drivers for eating changes everything • Why healthy eating is about more than knowing nutrition • The surprising changes in her relationship with chocolate • How improving self-care reduced emotional eating • The health improvements she experienced, including better sleep, digestion and fewer hot flushes • Why mindful eating continues to evolve long after the program finishes If you've ever wondered why you know what to eat but still struggle to do it, this episode will remind you that you're not lacking willpower—you may simply need a different approach.

    Episode 176: Is your digestion trying to tell you something?

    What is your digestion trying to tell you? When we think about digestion, we often think about bloating, reflux or stomach discomfort. But what if digestion was about much more than your gut? In this episode, Chinese Medicine practitioner Tania Grasseschi and I explore how digestion influences our energy, emotions, eating habits and ability to nourish ourselves. You'll learn why stress and rushing through meals can affect digestion, how meal timing and mindful eating support overall health, and why Chinese Medicine views digestion as the foundation for both physical and emotional wellbeing. Together, Tania and I discuss: • Why digestion is about much more than breaking down food • How stress and multitasking affect healthy digestion • Why regular meals and mindful eating matter • The role of meal timing and your body's natural rhythms • Foods and cooking methods that support digestion • Why nourishment extends beyond food to include rest, relationships, creativity and the five senses • Practical ways women can care for themselves while continuing to care for others This conversation is especially relevant for women over 40 looking for a sustainable approach to healthy eating that works with their body—not against it.
