    Episode 162: Autumn Is the Best Time to Strengthen Your Immune System

    Did you know that if you want to stay well in winter, the real work begins in autumn? In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is the season of the lungs and large intestines—and one of the most important times of year to strengthen your immune system naturally before cold and flu season arrives. In this episode, I’m joined by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and Qigong teacher Tania Grasseschi  to explore why autumn is the ideal time to build immune resilience through eating nourishing foods and drinks. Together we discuss: Why autumn is considered “lung season” in Chinese medicine The connection between digestion and immune strength How dryness impacts immunity Immune-supportive autumn foods  Why reducing cold and raw foods may protect your system Warming teas and herbs for immune support  The role of breathwork in strengthening your immune response Why staying warm—especially around the neck and lower back—matters more than you think If you tend to get sick every winter, this episode will help you understand how to prepare your body in advance—using seasonal food, breath, and simple daily rituals. Autumn is not just a transition season. It’s your opportunity to build strength from within.

    Episode 160: Ovarian Cancer Awareness: Nutrition, Lifestyle & Compassionate Care

    In recognition of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month (Australia), I welcome back cancer dietitian and nutritionist Jane Freeman for an evidence-based and compassionate conversation about ovarian cancer and nutrition support. Jane shares why ovarian cancer symptoms can be subtle and easily dismissed—including persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal discomfort, appetite changes, bowel changes, and fatigue—and why it’s so important for women to tune in to their bodies and seek medical advice when something doesn’t feel right. Together, we discuss: Ovarian cancer risk factors Lifestyle and dietary patterns that support overall health The difference between prevention-focused eating and treatment-focused eating Managing common treatment side effects like nausea, taste changes, fatigue, constipation, and diarrhea Why restrictive diets and excessive supplements can be harmful during cancer treatment How loved ones can provide support without adding pressureJane introduces her practical and empowering TEAL CARE framework to guide nutrition during treatment: T – Take charge E – Easy food A – Adequate protein L – Liquids C – Cover with coffee A – Anything is better than nothing R – Regulate fibre intake E – Enjoy food This episode reinforces an important message: nutrition during cancer treatment is not about perfection—it’s about nourishment, flexibility, and individualised support. 📌 TEAL CARE checklist can be found here: https://eatingforyou.com.au/ovarian-cancer-nutrition-support/ Jane’s contact details: : https://canutrition.com.au/ If this episode could support someone you care about, please share it.

How mindful eating supports trust, calm, and confidence around food. Reflections from women who’ve transformed their relationship with eating.

    Episode 157: Why Weight Regain Happens After Weight Loss Medications

    Weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are everywhere right now—and if you’re curious about them (or taking one), there’s nothing wrong with you. In Episode 157, as a non-diet, mindfulness-based dietitian, I unpack what the research shows about weight regain after stopping weight loss medications and why regain is often biological, not a personal failure. You’ll learn how GLP-1 medications work, the side effects people don’t always understand, and why focusing on body composition (muscle vs fat) matters more than a number on the scale. You’ll also hear a research-based comparison of regain after medication versus regain after lifestyle and behavioural programs—including why long-term support, resistance-based movement and personalised nourishment can make a difference. In this episode: How GLP-1 medications work (appetite suppression + regulation) Why side effects can unintentionally reduce protein intake and movement What a 2025 systematic review found about weight regain after stopping medication Why muscle preservation changes the whole story Medication regain vs lifestyle-program regain: timelines and what’s different A more realistic question: is it even helpful to expect a stable weight across life stages? ✨ Free support: Book a complimentary 30-minute Mindful Eating Strategy Call 📩 Subscribe to the Nourishment newsletter so you receive all updates and tips to help you sustain healthy eating for good SUBSCRIBE to the Eating for You podcast so you don't miss any episodes x

    Episode 156: How Do I Stick to Regular Exercise When Motivation Runs Out?

    Ever start the year feeling motivated… then a few weeks later fall off the movement waggon?  In Episode 156, I am joined by resident fitness and women’s health expert Angela Mills to unpack why motivation is unreliable—and what actually makes movement stick long-term. Together, we share practical, realistic strategies to build movement into your life without the all-or-nothing mindset:  🚶🏻‍♀️Identity shifts (“I’m someone who moves”),  👟 Visual cues that nudge you into action,  👣 Starting small so you don’t burn out, and  ☺️ Finding progress markers that have nothing to do with the scales.  We also talk about time (yes, there is time), creating “non-negotiables”, and how to keep going even when you miss a session—without spiralling into guilt. If you want exercise and movement to feel supportive (not stressful), this episode will help you build consistency that lasts.

    JAN 11

    Episode 155: Why Don’t New Year’s Food Resolutions Work—and What Works Instead?

    Most food and eating New Year’s resolutions fail within the first couple of weeks—not because you lack motivation, but because they focus on outcomes (like weight loss or “being good”) instead of the real reasons you eat. In this first new episode for 2026, I explore a more sustainable approach: instead of setting rigid goals, choose one habit to understand and gently change—whether it’s snacking, emotional eating, restricting and overeating, or feeling stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle. You’ll learn how mindful eating helps you shift from self-criticism to curiosity, and how the 9 Eating for You drivers for eating reveal what’s really going on beneath the surface—from hunger and satiety, to stress, body image, food pleasure, beliefs about health, and convenience. I also share real client examples from Carol, Judy, Valerie, Bronwyn, and Gayle, showing how lasting change happens one habit at a time—with insight, guidance, and support (not willpower). 📗 Free resource: Download the Emotional Eating Triggers Checklist ☎️ Support: Book a free 30-minute Mindful Eating Strategy Call Related Episodes Episode 43: Weight Loss Through Curiosity With Carol Episode 51: Freedom From Food With Judy Episode 57: No More Secret Eating With Bronwyn Episode 112: Mindful Eating That Lasts: Adapting to life’s ups and downs (Judy) Episode 115: Healthy Eating For Good With Valerie Episode 117: From Dieting To Freedom: A journey of reflection and change (Carol) Episode 124: Breaking Free From Dieting: Gayle’s journey to mindful eating If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes.
