In this fabulous episode, I am joined by Elnette Parsons who was wanted to raise the game on lunchboxes we take to school and work!

She is passionate about health, how the body works, and food supporting it all.
We talk about a range of healthy cooking, from batch cooking tips to what constitutes healthy food.

Elnette deeply cares about what our young generation are eating and how having different warm lunchboxes are a game-changer in more ways than she realised until she began doing this. So much so that she decided to create a cookbook to help and encourage others to follow suit and gain all the benefits of eating real food warm food at lunch instead of sandwiches, wraps, and other processed foods.

She shares:


The importance of healthy lunchboxes
How to get started and make it easy 
What you'll need 
Batch cooking tips

Feeling confident to cook from scratch is something not everyone feels, and may not appreciate the benefits.
Here we talk about optimising your time and clearing space to prioritise time for healthy batch cooking.

About Elnette
She helps people improve their health by looking into their food and lifestyle. Originally from South Africa and now in the UK.
Food excites her — it affects everything we do, using food in a positive way to balance our body to help; lose weight and alleviate any health conditions. These can include issues with menopause, digestion, skin, depression, weight, or stress.

In this episode, I'm joined by Amy D'Ambrosio, a health coach, helping people overcome the very things she has faced for nearly 45 years of her life and that is emotional and compulsive eating. From my experience of working with people over many years, I have observed many people experience emotional eating to varying degrees. Amy talks the extreme version, calling it a disease that is isolating, embarrassing and keeps a person in hiding and the desire to do something about it has to come from within which can be a very dark difficult thing to do alone.

Amy shares:


Her personal struggles
The steps she uses to help her clients
The importance of understanding triggers 
Changing celebratory habits around food.

About Amy
Amy has been a compulsive overeater her entire life. She started young using food to cope with emotions.  Later, the frequency and quantity increased to binges. She weighed 270 lbs and was diabetic. She felt that I would never be able to manage my food addiction . At the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, she learned coping tools and became an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. She lost the excess weight and eliminated diabetes. Her mission is to empower compulsive overeaters with recovery tools so they can manage their addiction, get their self-esteem back and fall in love with who they are.

Episode #27

In this episode I have Margaret Bell as my guest talking all about the nuts and bolts of Intuitive Eating, which I'm aware some people may not be aware of this term, so Margaret explains all and gives us a brilliant whirlwind tour of gut health and how it relates at the same time!!
So much valuable information and clarity on leaving the diet culture behind to truly get healthy and shift excess weight at the same time with kindness and patience.   

Margaret shares:


Some of her personal experiences struggling with weight
How to get in tune with your body
Impacts of stress on our health and others influencers
What fast lane living can lead to  

And she re-iterates that realisations about how foods make you feel for yourself lead to changes that are likely to be kept for life.

About Margaret Bell
From a supposed chubby teen to a 40 year old spiraling out of control, Margaret is an Intuitive Eating coach who can honestly say she has walked the walk with emotional eating and body hate for over 25 years.
'Thunder Thighs' was her school nickname and that's when emotional eating started for her, through the death of her father in my 20's to divorce and depression in my 40's whether its restriction or binge to not believing I deserved to eat, I have been there and now I coach women and teens who are on that path that I used to be, guiding them to a life of absolute food freedom and body love.'  Margaret will touch on the subject of emotional eating in such a way which will question why we think we need to diet, is this coming from internal or external forces, or even a bit of both. Should being slim n skinny really be our aim? Or is there really another way?

Episode #26 is with Psychologist and clinical exercise Physiologist Dr Gisele Tennant. We dive into what is involved in each stage of creating sustainable change in the area of health. Her passion has been the prevention of health issues from a young age, rather than treatment.
She talks about change being rarely linear and so accepting that you're going to have some regression is important in the process.

Gisele shares:


The stages of change
Having smart goals and breaking these up
How disruption is inevitable - what to do
Tools for maintaining healthy changes  

She realised in her own life that everything is a choice and seeing everything that is happening in her life is for her to take a lesson from.

About Dr Gisele Tennant
She has a passion for improving quality of life through evidence-based physical activity and nutrition programs focused on eating more fruit and vegetables. Dr. Tennant holds multiple fitness certifications, is a published academic author, has presented at international conferences, and is a seasonal university lecturer. She firmly believes that how we respond to life is a choice. With that in mind, as a relationship strategist with A Conscious Partner, she helps others develop the emotional skills needed to navigate through the ups and downs of their relationships.

Episode #24
Sally Anne Saint is today's guest and she wants to remind all mums of their greatness and what their life really has given them, whether it has been a bumpy ride or more plain sailing.

Sally talks about her personal experience of being her biggest critic and playing small as she puts it.
And when she began becoming aware of how she spoke to herself, is when she realised it was time for a change to start feeling alive and add colour to her life.

She shares: 


How carrying our baggage 'the ball and chain' is actually harder than dealing with it
The importance of allowing us to feel instead of living in numb
We’re not designed to do things on our own,
Lean into pain / uncomfortable situations

Sally goes deep about healing and forgiving to live in full purpose in the here and now.
