    Episode 163: Can I Have a Chocolate Egg for Easter?

    Easter is almost here… and with it often comes chocolate, temptation, guilt—and that familiar thought: “I’ll just eat it all on Sunday and get back on track on Monday.” In this gentle, reflective episode, I share a memorable conversation with a client who once asked me: “Can I have a chocolate egg for Easter?” What followed revealed something many women experience around this time of year—the pull between enjoyment and control, permission and restriction, pleasure and “being good.” If you’ve ever felt the urge to: Get it over withStart again on MondayOr eat more than you planned because “Easter only comes once a year”…this episode is for you. Inside, I guide you through a calming mindful chocolate practice you can try this Easter. You’ll learn how to: Approach chocolate with curiosity instead of urgencyStep out of all-or-nothing thinkingTune into your body’s feedbackExperience pleasure without guiltBecause Easter isn’t the problem Chocolate isn’t the problem. There’s something else driving the cycle—and understanding it can change everything. If you’d like to enjoy your Easter egg slowly, peacefully and without needing a Monday reset, this episode will help you do just that. If chocolate feels “bigger than it should” in your mind (or you’re worried you’ll overeat it), you’re invited to reach out for support. 📌 Free Mindful Eating Strategy Call: https://eatingforyou.com.au/free-call 📌 More support + resources: https://eatingforyou.com.au/your-health-hub/📩 Email: https://eatingforyou.com.au/new-contact/ If you found this helpful: Like, subscribe, and share with a friend who dreads Easter food guilt. ❤️

    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.
