    Kitchen chat: Do we need to "fix" emotional eating?

    In this Menopause Kitchen Chat I talk about my thoughts on emotional eating and how they have changed over the years. Is emotional eating something we need to "fix" or can it be used with a range of other tools to get us through difficult times or uncomfortable emotions. If you are experiencing challenges in your life or emotions that are making it difficult to have a quality of life, please reach out to someone or call the mental health/lifeline service in your country.

    Nutrition & the brain: Can it help reduce the risk of dementia?

    Can what we eat help prevent cognitive decline and dementia as we age? We may not be thinking about our brain when we think about nutrition. But the statistics in most wealthy countries show that dementia is one of the leading causes of death and women are more likely to be diagnosed. This episode looks at the research into nutrition and brain health and whether what we eat can reduce our risk or delay the onset of cognitive decline.
