    Episode 173: What's the Best Exercise for Women Over 40? | Qigong and the Power of Gentle Movement

    As women move through their 40s, perimenopause and beyond, many discover that the exercise routines that once worked no longer feel right. High-intensity workouts can leave us exhausted, while social media continues to promote quick fixes and unrealistic body transformation promises. In this episode of the Eating for You Podcast, I'm joined by Chinese medicine practitioner and Qigong teacher Tania Grasseschi to explore a gentler, more sustainable approach to movement. Together, we discuss what Qigong is, how it differs from Tai Chi, and why mindful movement can support your nervous system, digestion, balance, resilience and long-term health. We also unpack the recent social media trend of "Tai Chi walking" and discuss why women should think critically about exercise programs promising dramatic body transformations in just a few weeks. In this episode we discuss: What Qigong is and how it differs from Tai ChiWhy gentle movement can be especially beneficial for women over 40How Qigong supports the nervous system, digestion and overall wellbeingWhy consistency matters more than intensityWhat's behind the recent Tai Chi walking trend on social mediaHow to choose movement that works with your body instead of against it If you're looking for a more compassionate, sustainable approach to movement, this conversation will encourage you to rethink what healthy exercise can look like. 🌿 Connect with Sallyanne Website: https://eatingforyou.com.au Book a complimentary Mindful Eating Strategy Call: https://booknow.eatingforyou.com.au 🌿 Connect with TaniaQigong: https://www.orientalwisdom.com.au/services/qigong/ Ebooks: https://www.orientalwisdom.com.au/shop/ Workshops: https://www.orientalwisdom.com.au/workshops/ Find a qualified Qigong teacher: https://www.wtqa.org.au/ If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who would benefit from a gentler, more sustainable approach to movement and health.

    Episode 172: How to Stay Healthy This Winter (Eating Comfort Food)

    As winter settles in, many women start asking the same questions. How do I avoid catching every cold going around? Why do I crave comfort food? Will I gain weight if I move less? And how can I stay healthy without feeling deprived? In this episode, Chinese medicine practitioner Tania Grasseschi returns to the podcast to explain how working with winter, rather than against it, can help you feel healthier, warmer and more energised. Together we explore how traditional Chinese medicine views winter as a season of restoration and why slowing down, eating warming foods and supporting your body's natural rhythms may help you feel your best. In this episode you'll learn: • Why winter is a season for restoration rather than restriction • The best warming foods, spices and cooking methods • Practical tips to help support your immune system naturally • Why root vegetables, soups and slow-cooked meals are ideal in winter • Whether winter weight gain is normal—and how to prevent it becoming a long-term problem • The role of sleep, stress and mindful eating in maintaining your health through winter • Simple lifestyle habits to help you stay warm and well Whether you're hoping to avoid winter bugs, enjoy comfort food without guilt or simply feel more energised this season, this episode will give you practical ideas you can start using today. 🍎 For more practical nutrition and mindful eating advice for women 40+, visit Eating for You ❄️ Tania’s winter resources Winter E-Book Winter Seasonal Care Workshop

    Episode 171: What’s Missing From Healthy Eating? With Jeffrey Siegel

    Have you ever felt like you know what to eat but still struggle to do it consistently? In this Men’s Health Week special, I’m joined by men's wellness coach, Harvard teaching fellow, and author of Eating 2.0, Jeffrey Siegel. Together, we explore why healthy eating isn’t simply about willpower, meal plans, or finding the "perfect" diet.  Jeff shares his personal journey from disordered eating as a teenager to helping men reconnect with their bodies and build a healthier relationship with food. We discuss the impact of our modern food environment, the challenges of ultra-processed foods, and why so many people feel disconnected from their hunger, satisfaction, and body wisdom. You’ll also learn about Jeff’s fascinating concept of the "family of eaters"—the different internal drivers that influence our food choices—and how curiosity, rather than judgement, can help create lasting change. Whether you're navigating your own relationship with food or supporting a partner, family member, or friend, this conversation offers practical insights and a refreshing perspective on eating well without restriction, guilt, or another diet. Why healthy eating is about more than food choices Men's unique challenges with food and body image The hidden impact of the ultra-processed world Why diets and willpower often fail Rebuilding trust with your body The four "inner eaters" that drive food choices How mindfulness and curiosity support sustainable change Why understanding your relationship with food matters more than following rules Connect with Jeff Siegel:  🌿 Website: https://jeffsiegelwellness.com/ 🌿 Inner Eaters Quiz 🌿 YouTube Connect with Sallyanne:  🌿 Book a complimentary Mindful Eating Strategy Call 🌿⁠ FREE 5 Steps To A New Way Of Eating⁠ 🌿 Explore resources, podcasts, and programs at Eating for You:  https://eatingforyou.com.au/your-health-hub/

    Episode 168: STOP DIETING: What's really driving your eating habits

    Have you ever found yourself thinking, “Why can’t I just stick to healthy eating?” You start the week feeling organised and motivated… but then life gets busy, stress creeps in, and suddenly it feels like you’ve fallen off track again. In this episode, in recognition of International No Diet Day, I explore a powerful alternative to dieting—understanding the drivers for eating. Instead of focusing on rules, restriction, or willpower, this episode uncovers why you eat and how that awareness can lead to lasting, meaningful change. Through a real client story of a woman managing type 2 diabetes, you’ll discover: Why diets often fail (even when you’re committed) How self-care and time play a crucial role in healthy eating The difference between physical hunger and non-hunger eating How emotional eating can be understood—not judged Why having convenient, nourishing food matters more than willpower How mindful eating can improve health, confidence, and body image How to enjoy food without guilt or restriction This episode introduces the 9 drivers for eating and shows how small, mindful changes—one step at a time—can transform your relationship with food. ✨ Key takeaway: You don’t need another diet—you need a deeper understanding of what’s driving your eating.  🎁 And if you would love some support to start transforming your eating habits for good, join me, Sallyanne, in a free mindful eating strategy call.

    Episode 167: Why do I self-sabotage with food? (What's really going on)

    Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why do I keep doing this? I know what healthy eating looks like… so why can’t I stick to it?” If that question feels familiar, you’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not the problem. In this episode, we gently unpack the idea of “self-sabotage” and explore a different, more compassionate way of understanding your eating habits. Rather than focusing on more rules, restriction, or trying harder, this conversation invites you to pause and reflect on what’s really going on beneath the surface. With over 30 years of experience as a dietitian, I’ve never seen women truly sabotage themselves. What I have seen are thoughtful, capable women who haven’t yet had the opportunity to fully understand the patterns driving their eating. Through relatable examples and client stories, you’ll begin to see how your eating habits are not something to fix but something to learn from. This episode will help you: Let go of self-blame around food Understand why starting over keeps happening See your eating patterns with more clarity and compassion Begin shifting from restriction to reflection If you’re ready to move away from frustration and towards understanding, this episode is for you.

    Episode 166: How to Stick to Healthy Eating (Without All-or-Nothing Thinking)

    The women I work with who stick with healthy eating long term don’t do it perfectly—they’ve let go of all-or-nothing thinking and learned a more sustainable way to approach food. In this episode, I explore the common pattern that keeps many women stuck in cycles of starting over and why trying to eat “perfectly” often backfires. I also introduce a more supportive and realistic approach—one that focuses on staying connected to your eating experience rather than following rigid rules. A key part of this approach is understanding that mindful eating happens in degrees. Awareness doesn’t have to be there from the beginning. It can occur before, during, or even after eating—and it still counts. This shift removes pressure, builds self-trust, and helps you move from starting over… to staying consistent. If you’re ready to develop healthier eating habits that last, this episode will show you how. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Free guide: The Five Steps to a New Way of Eating Book your free mindful eating strategy call:
