    18: Melissa Finlay on feeling energised through nutrition

    In this episode, Helen chats with Melissa Finlay. Melissa is a women's health nutritionist, Pilates instructor, and strength coach. Mel spent around 15 years working in the corporate world and during that time, she picked up a host of unhelpful habits and adopted an almost sedentary lifestyle… something many of us can relate to! Finding herself burnt out and lacking in energy, she knew things were just not right and that she needed to make some changes. Numerous health professionals were unable to help her feel much better, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She started researching the impact of food and nutrition on her health, and once her energy returned, she really wanted to help others make the same positive changes.  In this conversation, Melissa shares her personal experience with burnout and health issues, and how self-education on nutrition and movement helped transform her life and career. Highlights: From corporate cubicle to women’s health: Mel outlines the steps she took to changing her career when she was burnt out and unhappy. The turning point: How the benefits of implementing regular exercise and nutritional changes in her own life led Melissa to want to help others. A series of small steps: Reducing the overwhelm of making a big change by taking small, achievable steps. Addressing women’s health: Mel explains the common reasons and challenges women experience that leads to unhelpful habits in mid-life. A simple strategy for better health: The holistic approach Mel applies to supporting women to implement a step-by-step plan to achieve their individual health goals.   More about Melissa If you’d like more information about Melissa and her work, you can find it here: Mel’s website: melissafinlaynutritionist.com Get Mel’s perimenopause online workshop Connect with Mel on - Instagram - @melfinlay_nutritionist   Did you love this podcast episode?

    12: Dr Lucy Burns on achieving long term health and weight loss

    In this episode, Helen chats with Dr Lucy Burns. Dr Lucy Burns is a GP and lifestyle medicine physician. But that’s really just the headline because she is soooo much more than that. The first and most important thing to know about Lucy is that she is “real” - a real person and a real doctor with the real health and wellness issues we all experience every day. In her late teens, Lucy was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy, which impairs her mobility… but not her intellect or determination. Becoming overweight during her 40s, Lucy embarked on the search for a solution and in 2018 she lost 20 kgs by adopting a real food, low carb lifestyle and applying focussed psychological strategies to adjusting her mindset.  Her experience highlighted the gap in medical information and education around the relationship between insulin-resistance and weight gain, particularly for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause. In this conversation, Lucy talks about the importance of setting yourself up for success, understanding the role of insulin resistance in weight gain, and reprogramming your mindset to create a healthy relationship with food and your body. Highlights: Being a “do-er”: Doing something or taking action of any type is Lucy’s go to solution for those moments when she recognises the onset of feeling stuck. Career transition: How being fully booked in her clinical practice led to her transitioning her work into the online world in order to meet demand. Reframing “healthy”: Dr Lucy explains that being healthy is not about being skinny or “having a thigh gap” but rather about embracing a healthy lifestyle and mindset. Unlocking the wood shed: Using her trademark “wood shed” story, Dr Lucy outlines how a carby / starchy diet leads to insulin resistance and weight gain; and, provides some simple strategies to start bringing things under control. Medical hypnotherapy: It’s hard to change our behaviour without understanding our subconscious brain and the fact that we’re subjected to a wide range of subliminal or overt messaging influencing our eating habits. Holistic health practice: Health care policies and other systemic issues that mean that society is generally more focussed on “sickness” rather than wellness and prevention.   More about Lucy If you’d like more information about Lucy and her work, you can find it here: Real Life Medicine: rlmedicine.com Find out more about the 12 Week Mind & Body Rebalance.
