    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.
