An eating disorder can consume your life, and my special guest today has lived with an eating disorder for 50 years.
Kathy explains living with an eating disorder as being like being trapped in a cage.
You want to get out of the cage, but you donât know how.
In this episode, Kathy shares the freedom she now enjoys with food and the aspects of the Eating for You approach that have supported her over the past 18 months since we last spoke.
She also describes what her next goals are for her relationship with food.
Kathy would love to view all foods as neutral and get rid of the few remaining food rules that influence her choice of food and her enjoyment of eating.
If you are ready to let go of food rules and eating habits that donât support your health or happiness, then join me in a free Mindful Eating Strategy Call. Learn more and book here: https://booknow.eatingforyou.com.au/ -
We canât live our lives by a set of rigid rules, so how can we expect to stick to diet rules?
As Judy shares, life is fluid; it has itâs ups and downs, and that is why mindful eating lasts!
Mindful eating is flexible and adaptable, whereas diets are rigid.
There are no rules to break, just preferences to eat healthier foods.
Judy has learned that through regular reflective practices, mindful eating evolves with you and your life.
It is my pleasure to welcome back Judy, who completed one of our programs over 14 months ago.
Judyâs journey will inspire hope in maintaining real results for your eating and health.
And if youâd love to replace diet rules with a healthier way of eating you can maintain, then join me in a free 45-minute Foundations Mindful Eating call.

It is my pleasure to welcome back Sharon Hoffman, The Womenâs Health Dietitian, to discuss endometriosis.

Do you know that you donât just have to live with urinary incontinence?
And it is not something that just happens as you age.
Young women develop urinary incontinence too.
In fact, one in three women who have had children will develop the condition.
I am grateful to be joined by an expert in womenâs pelvic health to demystify urinary incontinence.
Samantha King is a physiotherapist with 10 years experience specialising in this field.
Tune in to understand the cause and symptoms of the condition.
We also:
Remove the shame associated with talking about the condition.
Explore the benefits of pelvic floor training and being guided by a trained physiotherapist.
Discuss the benefits of weight loss to reduce the occurrence of stress incontinence.
Now focusing on weight loss can be stressful, frustrating, and overwhelming, which is the last thing you need when you have urinary incontenence, so we discuss the benefits of non-diet and non-weight-focused approaches to achieving your natural healthy weight.

Have you ever said, âI donât have time to invest in my health right now.â

In this episode, I cover some of the common sources of overwhelm that I help women overcome.
In fact, I have an evolving event in my own life right now that is at times challenging my mindfulness.
The first thing is to check that you havenât developed a habit of saying, âI donât have enough time...â
Perhaps you have been trying to change too many things to improve your health at once and become overwhelmed by the effort required to maintain everything.
Or, like me, may be there is an unexpected major event that has you caught off-guard.

Would you love to feel confident to sustain healthier eating?
Then it is time to find your voice to make choices that build your confidence and renew your relationship with food.
Our topic today was inspired by the 2024 Jean Hailes Womenâs Health Week theme of âYour Voice, Your Choice.â
In this episode, I introduce seven ways that you can find your voice to sustain healthier choices.
These include your beliefs, the concept of natural healthy weight and being able to say no to food when you are not hungry.
And for Womenâs Health Week, we are launching a new workshop to help you remove the barriers that have been stopping you from enjoying healthier eating long term. You can find out more about it here: https://eatingforyou.com.au/renew-your-relationship-with-food

Would you love to change your eating habits long-term?
But maybe you believe that it is not possible.
In this episode, I dispel three myths about eating habits:
You need more willpower.
You have to focus on food.
Eating habits cannot be changed.
Most days I am talking with my clients about eating habits and they are relieved that they donât need more willpower, that they donât have to give up their favourite foods, and that eating habits can be changed with patience and practice.

In this episode, I answer this question by reviewing the Paleo Diet.
I also provide a checklist for you to use, so you can assess the likelihood of you being able to stick to a certain way of eating.
Understanding what the approach is, whether it provides essential nutrients from food and whether it is backed by scientific research are all important factors.
Following strict rules and guidelines doesnât work for most people, so thatâs why I have created a new online workshop, Renew Your Relationship With Food.
In the workshop, youâll uncover the true barriers to sustaining healthy eating for good and receive the steps to remove these barriers without a diet or scales.

In this episode, I explain mindful nutrition as the symbiotic relationship between the practice of mindful eating and nutrition.
Simply put, mindful eating helps us to eat healthier, and nutrition helps us to eat more mindfully.
To explain this relationship, I explore how mindful eating and nutrition work together to:
Improve your health,
Support you to eat in tune with your own hunger cycles, and
Help you overcome emotional eating habits.
As vegetables are the unsung nutrition heroes, here is my popular blog post on 5 Tips for Eating 5 Vegetables a Day https://eatingforyou.com.au/5-vegetables-a-day/

Do you really understand what mindful eating is?
So many people that I talk with donât!
Even my clients take a little while to embrace mindful eating fully.
While the experience of eatingânoticing the colours, aromas, textures, and flavours of foodsâis part of mindful eating, it is not what it really is about.
The magic happens by being mindful before, during, and after eating. Some might call it magic, and others call it a transformation in their relationship with food.
Thatâs why I am sharing ten of our mindful eating resources with you today, so you can find out how to change your eating habits for good and stop worrying about your weight.
