āHealth is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.ā ~ World Health Organisation
I donāt believe in āfadā or crash diets. These provide short term solutions with unsustainable results. They are a plan A with no plan B, a āone side fits allā or ācookie cutterā approach to nutrition. I work with individuals of all capabilities w
ho are searching for personal and supportive 1 to 1 nutrition coaching. The existing nutrition and fitness industry is poorly regulated. There is an abundance of conflicting evidence readily available itās easy to get lost confused. Using an evidence based approach to education I eliminate dietary myths. I empower my clients on a personal level to help them achieve their fat loss, body recomposition and fitness goals for life!
Did you know only 5-20% of dieters keep the weight off?!!!
Itās not you, who is at fault,
Itās not your lack of discipline, or willpower.
The truth is, most diets fail because they're far too restrictive!
Iām on a mission to change that.
I help women build sustainable habits, stop comfort eating, reclaim motivation, beat fatigue, and lose weight for good - without restriction, hunger or counting calories.
Iām a āNourish Doctorā formally referred to as a lifestyle medicine physician.
Yes, I help women lose weight, but I also help them review all aspects of their health and wellbeing to create their most energised, healthy and confident lives.
You see, traditional weight loss approaches are 1 dimensional.
You follow a food plan, add exercise to create a calorie deficit and then you lose weight.
The problem is that this approach is unsustainable.
Itās unrealistic and at least 80% of the time leads to weight regain because it doesn't address their mindset and itās not personalised enough.
You can have the best meal plan in the world but if you donāt take into account your personal challenges such as long working hours, travelling the world for work or binge eating patterns then itās not going to work long term!
This is why The Nourish Academy is different.
Nourish is a holistic approach to nutrition, sleep, stress management, exercise, emotional wellbeing and relationships.
Because more often than not, our food choices are strongly linked to how we feel, how well weāve slept and whatās going on in our lives.
For example, when weāre exhausted from a poor nights sleep with high stress levels of looming deadlines weāre much more likely to grab the chocolate bar instead of the nutritious apple!
Yep, youāre not alone. Itās science!
So if any of this intrigues you I have an opportunity to share.
Iām currently enrolling both private and Nourish Academy clients.
But this ISNāT for you ifā¦
š You want to count calories for the rest of your life
š Youāre unwilling to look at the relationships between stress, sleep deprivation and your food choices
š Youāre not ready to explore what Nourish can offer, instead of a traditional diet approach to weight loss
So if youāre curious to know more, Iām inviting you to apply for a complimentary consultation to see if I might be able to help.

Exercise is rubbish for weight loss and hereās why š
As a Doctor youād expect me to encourage exercise, and I doā¦ BUT itās important that youāre exercising for the right reasons and not just to āburn caloriesā.
Iāve met many patients over the years who have been exercising in ways they donāt enjoy wasting their precious time and energy trying to shift weight.
The people I support are busy and so my ethos is about helping them get the biggest results in the shortest amount of time.
To help you out, Iām going to break down the science as to why exercise is counterproductive when it comes to weight loss.
1ļøā£ Understanding caloric burn: 1lb of fat is approximately 3,500 calories.
This means to āburnā 1lb of fat through exercise alone youād need to do around 7 hours of high intensity spin each week!
That's a significant time commitment and although I do love my peloton you can count me out.
2ļøā£ Exercise and appetite:
Exercise can increase hunger and lead to compensatory eating.
We often consume more calories than we burn during exercise, making weight loss solely through exercise challenging.
3ļøā£ When to introduce exercise on a weight loss program:
You can achieve weight loss by creating a moderate calorie deficit (approx 20%) through food alone. This means exercise is not needed in the early stages.
In fact, to really emphasise this point, when Iām guiding patients through a weight loss program I usually wait about 4 weeks before introducing or adjusting exercise to emphasise how important healthy eating habits are.
This gives them time to implement habits around their nutrition first instead of adding in too much at once which is often unsustainable.
4ļøā£ Why do you exercise?:
Exercise should be enjoyed and pursued primarily for its health benefits and feel good factor, not just as a weight loss tool.
Choose an activity that contributes positively to your overall well-being so youāre more likely to stick to it and reap the benefits.
HOWEVER, It would be negligent for me to say that exercise doesnāt play a role in weight management because it absolutely does but itās not because of the ācalories burnedā.
Considering health psychology and behaviour change, we are more likely to make healthier food choices when we are exercising consistently.
The problem is, most will get started on a new diet and start exercising straight away forcing themselves to follow āthe planā.
Consistency might happen for the first few weeks or months but eventually it goes out the windowā¦ along with the prepared lunches and healthy dinners!
The key takeaway is this: exercise in a way you actually enjoy and do it for the health benefits and feel good factor NOT for weight loss.
By exercising in a way you enjoy, youāre more likely to be consistent, eat well and live a healthier and longer life.
P.S. If you enjoy my science backed, holistic and supportive approach to getting healthy and losing weight youāll want to know that The Nourish Academy is open for enrollment.
Itās a 12-week small group experience to help 10 women create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, maximise their energy, build self confidence and lose weight sustainably without restrictive dieting.
We open the doors 3 times a year, and weāre currently recruiting ladies to begin on June 10th.

The real reasons why diets donāt work for most peopleā¦
Women come to me because they want to lose weight, have more energy and feel healthy.
Theyāve usually been dieting for years, often decades, losing and regaining the same weight again and again.
Others have tried more extreme approaches such as weight loss injections, meal replacement shakes and even bariatric surgery.
Problem is, itās not just weight thatās the issue.
Thereās usually a background of stress as they navigate busy diaries, board meetings, business travel, family commitments, personal admin and everything in between.
They think they just need more willpower to eat less and exercise more, which makes perfect sense because we need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight.
But the challenge is, actually sticking to the calorie deficit..
My job is to help them understand the source of the extra calories and when we look more closely itās usually related to a combination of snacking, large portions and alcohol.
After asking more questions Iām able to understand that snacking is usually linked to afternoon sugar slumps, stress, boredom and a desire for comfort.
The portions are large because theyāve often skipped breakfast, grabbed lunch on the go and so theyāre starving after work.
Alcohol is often used as a tool to switch off, unwind and celebrate after a hard day in the office which reduces their inhibitions and leads to snacking on even more empty calories.
Logically, it makes perfect sense why sticking to the calorie deficit and losing weight has been so challenging but changing our habits and behaviours so they eat less and lose weight isnāt as straightforward.
This is exactly why according to medical science 80-95% of weight loss attempts fail in the long term!
Itās not because they donāt have enough willpower, itās because the strategy was too superficial and didnāt consider the whole situation or address the root cause.
Sadly, most diets donāt address each person as an individual and assess their lifestyle. They simply say āeat this, donāt eat that and if you follow these rules youāll winā
Problem is we don't live in a laboratory. Weāre humans. Humans with stressful and demanding jobs, finite energy and feelings.
We use food and alcohol as a tool to switch off from work, ease stress, socialise with friends and family and numb our feelings.
Now let me be clear. Iām not suggesting you give up your favourite malbec, stop snacking or bin all the chocolate in the house.
I too, enjoy a glass (or two) of wine and couldnāt live without chocolate š
Instead, Iām saying we need a more holistic approach to weight loss which addresses the root cause. One that takes into consideration our lifestyles, thoughts and feelings in combination with nutritional support to create long term behaviour change and sustainable weight loss.
This is exactly why I created The Nourish Academy to help women reprogram their mindset & build healthy habits for sustainable weight loss.
The Nourish Academy is a 12-week small group experience to help 10 women create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, maximise their energy, build self confidence and lose weight sustainably without restrictive dieting.
I only open the doors for new enrollments 3 times a year and Iām pleased to share that I'm currently accepting new applications.

Has the diet industry been feeding you a lie?
Over the last 7 years Iāve met hundreds of women who have spent years, sometimes decades, on and off diets.
Others have forced themselves to follow extreme shake diets, injected themselves with āweight loss medicationā and some have risked their lives for bariatric surgery.
But despite their best efforts, they lost and regained the same weight again and again.
Thereās a common theme I see, which is inhibiting their successā¦.
This theme is the belief that weight loss has to mean self punishment. Whether itās meticulously counting calories, cutting out their favourite foods, forcing themselves to exercise or tolerating hunger the pattern of restriction is unsustainable.
This often leads to obsessing over food, guilt after eating certain foods, overeating and binge eating.
For these women, keeping weight off feels impossible. They lose and regain the same weight again and again.
Thatās why I support women with making realistic lifestyle changes and building healthy habits.
So instead of self punishment, itās a journey of empowerment, confidence and health optimisation where they learn to:
š Nourish themselves with foods that fuel their bodies, while still enjoying their favourite treats in moderation.
š Exercise in a way they actually enjoy, instead of pounding the treadmill to āburn caloriesā.
š Enjoy self care to reduce stress, improve their sleep and calm their busy mind instead of feeling guilty or selfish for taking time for themselves.
Itās not an easy transition to go from traditional restrictive dieting into a holistic health journey.
In fact, it can be quite scary to let go of the rules associated with weight loss. As Helen, one of my former patients so eloquently put it āasking me to eat intuitively is like asking me to trust a cheating boyfriendā
So we have to start slowlyā¦
This is exactly why I created The Nourish Academy to help women reprogram their mindset & build healthy habits for sustainable weight loss.
The Nourish Academy is a 12-week small group experience to help 10 women create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, maximise their energy, build self confidence and lose weight sustainably without restrictive dieting.

From binge eating to losing 9lbs in 4 weeks without giving up meals out, wine or chocolate
Before I met Vikki she had literally tried EVERYTHINGā¦
š Every diet under the sun.
š Prescribed medications
š A gastric band!
But the bingeing remained so even when she lost weight, she couldnāt keep it off.
Why?
Because nobody had helped her to identify the root cause of her overeating.
Nobody had addressed her mindset or behaviours.
The key for Vikki was to heal her relationship with food and teach her how to build healthy and sustainable habits instead of a restrictive or black and white approach to weight loss
Hereās how we did it:
Hereās how we did it:
Step 1: Together we designed a bespoke food plan where Vikki could still enjoy chocolate and ice cream whilst maintaining a calorie deficit so she could still lose weight.
Step 2: She didn't feel like she was missing out and never felt hungry.
Step 3: Next we addressed the bingeing and learned that it tended to happen when she was alone, upset or frustrated. So I helped her to implement new tools and strategies for navigating those challenging emotions.
Step 4: Vikki learned new tools to manage stress, and deal with acute stress in the moment instead of turning to biscuits during the working day.
Step 5: We slowly added in realistic exercise - this was as simple as adding in walking, which weāre slowly building into a more formal method of exercise.
Itās been a complete lifestyle overhaul for Vikki.
A holistic, easy and enjoyable way to lose weight and actually keep it off for good.
But the most important thing is she feels better, sheās healthier, sheās able to chase after her granddaughter and sheās added years to her life.

What do you do when Hello! call and ask you to write an article? š±
Do youā¦
1. Faint š
2. ā Scream the house down!
3. Take a deep breath, sit yourself down and write a piece that can really help people
*composes self*
For too long the diet industry has been taking advantage of women and destroying their self esteem.
Leading them to believe that they're at fault for not having enough willpower to stick to their diet plan.
This simply isnāt true.
More than 80% of weight loss attempts fail in the long term and willpower isnāt the issue.
One of the core mistakes I see women make is believing that weight loss means self-punishment.
Iām not surprised, because traditional diets have indoctrinated women into believing they need to restrict themselves by cutting out their favourite treats, forcing themselves to eat rabbit food or tolerating hunger in order to lose weight.
In my work I have the privilege of helping women to understand the pitfalls of the traditional diets so they can stop blaming themselves.
Instead I get to support them in creating sustainable, nourishing and enjoyable ways to build healthy habits so they lose weight and improve their health.
Writing this piece wasn't just a professional milestone; it was an opportunity to set the record straight. To free women from restrictive weight loss approaches and instead support them in fostering self kindness for healthy and sustainable weight loss.
Aaaaaaand then you faint again when itās published š¤£

I hope you enjoy it and I hope it helps.

Why most diets donāt work.
Women come to me because they want to lose weight, have more energy and feel healthy.
Theyāve usually been dieting for years, often decades, losing and regaining the same weight again and again.
Others have tried more extreme approaches such as weight loss injections, meal replacement shakes and even bariatric surgery.
Problem is, itās not just weight thatās the issue.
Thereās usually a background of stress as they navigate busy diaries, board meetings, business travel, family commitments, personal admin and everything in between.

If youāre looking for support with holistic and sustainable weight loss, I might be able to help.
I have 1 opportunity left for private support starting in April.
Drop me a private message to express your interest and we can arrange a consultation to see if I can help.
The women I support are intelligent, successful, professional women.
They know what to do to lose weight, but struggle with consistent implementation over time because often life gets in the way.
Maybe you alsoā¦
š Start a new diet feeling great, then motivation fades and willpower runs out.
š Feel too exhausted from the pressures of work and life commitments to make time for yourself
š Feel nervous about handling social commitments while losing weight
Youāre not alone in this. Sadly, I hear this all the time.
And it makes perfect sense because weāve been conditioned by the diet culture to rely on willpower in order to lose weight and keep it off.
As women, weāre hard wired to meet the needs of others before our own.
And Iām willing to bet youāve been derailed during a social event in the past and completely thrown the towel in. All because diets donāt teach us how to manage social events without feeling restricted and missing out!
But what if I told you that you can succeed at weight lossā¦
āØ Without relying on willpower to eat healthy and workout.
āØ Whilst increasing your energy and creating more time for yourself without guilt
āØ While looking forward to social commitments and enjoying them with ease
This is exactly what The Nourish Method is about.
At Nourish we support women with creating consistent motivation, increasing their energy, prioritising their needs without guilt, socialising with ease, healing their relationship with food all while losing weight consistently and easily.
If youāre looking for support to lose weight sustainably whilst improving your wellbeing Iām opening up availability for 2 new ladies to start in April.
For more information, drop me a private message to express your interest and we can arrange a chat to see if this might be a good fit for you.

Iām sure your feed will be flooded with posts for International Women's Day so I wanted to share something different with you.
Something real, raw & authentic. Itās straight from the heart.
Itās a letter to my little girl, my 12 year old self.
May it inspire you to write your own, take your own leaps and embark on your own journey of personal and professional growth.
āDear 12 year old Aileen,
I see you struggling with acne, anxiety, and low mood. I know it feels overwhelming, but these struggles don't define you. Your worth isn't in your appearance; it's in your kindness, empathy, and strength.
Self harm isnāt the answer. I promise there are brighter days ahead. As you grow older youāll embark on a life changing journey, one that will shape you into the incredible woman you're meant to become.
I know it feels like a distant dream but YES, you'll attend medical school!
It's going to be tough, demanding countless hours of studying and dedication but you'll persevere because of your passion for healing and helping others.
Qualifying as a doctor will fill you with pride, but you'll realise traditional medicine isn't your path.
Your journey doesn't end there. Fueled by a desire to make a real difference, you'll start your own business dedicated to helping women with weight issues, emotional eating, stress, sleep, and unhealthy habits.
Through your business, you'll become a beacon of hope, offering guidance, support, and encouragement to those in need. You'll create a safe space where women can come together, share their stories, and start their own journey of self-discovery and transformation.
I won't sugarcoat it; the road ahead won't be easy.
There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt. But with each obstacle you overcome, you'll emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before.
Today is International Women's Day! And Iām writing to you to celebrate the power of women supporting women.
Your story isnāt just about your triumphs; it's a testament to the strength and resilience that ALL women possess. One day youāll share your story on a TEDx stage to inspire and instigate hope for others. I know youāve no idea what TEDx means yet but trust me, itās huge!
So, Aileen, I urge you to hold onto hope.
Believe in yourself, even when the world seems to doubt you.
Surround yourself with people who truly love and care for you even when you can't do that for yourself.
You are destined for greatness.
You are capable of achieving things beyond your wildest dreams.
Keep pushing forward. The best is yet to come.
With all my love,
33 year old Aileen xā
May this letter inspire you to be kinder to yourself and take the next step on your journey.
With love, always,

If youāve been trying to lose weight (and keep it off) youāve maybe been told that you need toā¦ ā STOP eating the āwrong foodsā ā Fight cravings ā Count calories But it simply isnāt trueā¦! Cutting out your favourite foods, relying on discipline to exercise, willpower to fight cravings, sheer grit and determination to ignore hunger MIGHT work for the first few days (or weeks if youāre lucky) but itās unlikely to be sustainable or realistic in the long run. Most of us end up blaming ourselves, giving ourselves āa talking toā and the diet starts again on Monday. This approach is too restrictive and itās too simple. Focusing on food and calories alone is only a small part of the puzzle. Instead I believe we have to address our mindset, habits and behaviours Most women I work with are fed up with restrictive dieting and relying on willpower. Theyāve struggled for years with self-sabotage ruining their dieting efforts and ending back up at square one. So if youāre reading this thinking, āthatās me!ā - youāll be relieved to learn that there is an easier, more enjoyable and healthier way to lose weight sustainably whilst reducing stress, improving sleep, increasing your energy levels and feeling healthier. This is why I created The Nourish Academy š» Itās a 12-week small group coaching experience to help women create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, maximise their energy, build self confidence and lose weight sustainably without restrictive dieting. The deadline for applications is Monday 3rd June and the academy begins on Monday 10th June!! š¦ To ensure youāre a good fit for The Nourish Academy, Iām inviting you to complete a short application questionnaire and if youāre successful Iāll reach out to arrange a complimentary consultation.

If youāve ever tried to change a bad habit, youāll appreciate how difficult it can be š© Whether itās afternoon snacking, finishing your kids' food or the last minute scramble to make dinner - breaking bad habits is a common challenge when it comes to dieting & weight loss. Thatās why focusing on calories alone isnāt enough to create long term sustainable weight loss. Counting calories works in the short term, but itās really difficult to stick to because our bad habits derail our best efforts. Angela, one of our Nourish Academy graduates, reflects that using a holistic, wellbeing centred approach to address our whole selves using kindness in place of negative self talk made losing weight so much easier. The key here is to understand why weāre programmed the way we are and why we do certain things. Once we understand our current behaviours and how they were created we are able to build a bulletproof plan to eradicate the unhealthy habits and replace them with new healthy habits. This is exactly what we do inside of the Nourish Academy š» Itās a 12-week small group coaching experience to help women create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, maximise their energy, build self confidence and lose weight sustainably without restrictive dieting.

Exercise is rubbish for weight loss and hereās why š As a Doctor youād expect me to encourage exercise, and I doā¦ BUT itās important that youāre exercising for the right reasons and not just to āburn caloriesā. Iāve met many patients over the years who have been exercising in ways they donāt enjoy wasting their precious time and energy trying to shift weight. The people I support are busy and so my ethos is about helping them get the biggest results in the shortest amount of time. To help you out, Iām going to break down the science as to why exercise is counterproductive when it comes to weight loss. 1ļøā£ Understanding caloric burn: 1lb of fat is approximately 3,500 calories. This means to āburnā 1lb of fat through exercise alone youād need to do around 7 hours of high intensity spin each week! That's a significant time commitment and although I do love my peloton you can count me out. 2ļøā£ Exercise and appetite: Exercise can increase hunger and lead to compensatory eating. We often consume more calories than we burn during exercise, making weight loss solely through exercise challenging. 3ļøā£ When to introduce exercise on a weight loss program: You can achieve weight loss by creating a moderate calorie deficit (approx 20%) through food alone. This means exercise is not needed in the early stages. In fact, to really emphasise this point, when Iām guiding patients through a weight loss program I usually wait about 4 weeks before introducing or adjusting exercise to emphasise how important healthy eating habits are. This gives them time to implement habits around their nutrition first instead of adding in too much at once which is often unsustainable. 4ļøā£ Why do you exercise?: Exercise should be enjoyed and pursued primarily for its health benefits and feel good factor, not just as a weight loss tool. Choose an activity that contributes positively to your overall well-being so youāre more likely to s
Has the diet industry been feeding you a lie? Over the last 7 years Iāve met hundreds of women who have spent years, sometimes decades, on and off diets. Others have forced themselves to follow extreme shake diets, injected themselves with āweight loss medicationā and some have risked their lives for bariatric surgery. But despite their best efforts, they lost and regained the same weight again and again. Thereās a common theme I see, which is inhibiting their successā¦. This theme is the belief that weight loss has to mean self punishment. Whether itās meticulously counting calories, cutting out their favourite foods, forcing themselves to exercise or tolerating hunger the pattern of restriction is unsustainable. This often leads to obsessing over food, guilt after eating certain foods, overeating and binge eating. For these women, keeping weight off feels impossible. They lose and regain the same weight again and again. Thatās why I support women with making realistic lifestyle changes and building healthy habits. So instead of self punishment, itās a journey of empowerment, confidence and health optimisation where they learn to: š Nourish themselves with foods that fuel their bodies, while still enjoying their favourite treats in moderation. š Exercise in a way they actually enjoy, instead of pounding the treadmill to āburn caloriesā. š Enjoy self care to reduce stress, improve their sleep and calm their busy mind instead of feeling guilty or selfish for taking time for themselves. Itās not an easy transition to go from traditional restrictive dieting into a holistic health journey. In fact, it can be quite scary to let go of the rules associated with weight loss. As Helen, one of my former patients so eloquently put it āasking me to eat intuitively is like asking me to trust a cheating boyfriendā So we have to start slowlyā¦ This is exactly why I created The Nourish Academy to help women reprogram their mindset
From binge eating to losing 9lbs in 4 weeks without giving up meals out, wine or chocolate Before I met Vikki she had literally tried EVERYTHINGā¦ š Every diet under the sun. š Prescribed medications š A gastric band! But the bingeing remained so even when she lost weight, she couldnāt keep it off. Why? Because nobody had helped her to identify the root cause of her overeating. Nobody had addressed her mindset or behaviours. The key for Vikki was to heal her relationship with food and teach her how to build healthy and sustainable habits instead of a restrictive or black and white approach to weight loss Hereās how we did it: Hereās how we did it: Step 1: Together we designed a bespoke food plan where Vikki could still enjoy chocolate and ice cream whilst maintaining a calorie deficit so she could still lose weight. Step 2: She didn't feel like she was missing out and never felt hungry. Step 3: Next we addressed the bingeing and learned that it tended to happen when she was alone, upset or frustrated. So I helped her to implement new tools and strategies for navigating those challenging emotions. Step 4: Vikki learned new tools to manage stress, and deal with acute stress in the moment instead of turning to biscuits during the working day. Step 5: We slowly added in realistic exercise - this was as simple as adding in walking, which weāre slowly building into a more formal method of exercise. Itās been a complete lifestyle overhaul for Vikki. A holistic, easy and enjoyable way to lose weight and actually keep it off for good. But the most important thing is she feels better, sheās healthier, sheās able to chase after her granddaughter and sheās added years to her life. If youāre looking for support to make sustainable lifestyle changes so you can lose weight whilst improving your wellbeing youāll want to know about The Nourish Academy Itās a 12-week small group experience to help 10 women create a healthier l

Do you people please when it comes to food and alcohol? Sarah shares how she went from overindulging in food and drink to being more mindful when socialising. Before The Nourish Academy, Sarah hadnāt realised she was people pleasing when she was socialising. As she reflects, she actually thought it was the lifestyle she wanted to live, but soon realised, through coaching, that it wasnāt fully serving her. THIS was the key to transforming her relationship with food. Itās important to be aware that food and drink are integral parts of socialising and as women we often conform to these expectations because we donāt want to stand out or seem impolite! So how do you strike the balance? Well if youāre looking to enjoy socialising without feeling restricted or falling completely off the bandwagon youāll want to check out The Nourish Academy. This is the FINAL WEEK to apply, with the deadline for applications on Monday 12th February If youāre looking toā¦ š Create healthy habits for sustainable weight loss instead of restricting foods, calorie counting or yoyo dieting. š Find healthier ways to manage stress instead of snacking and comfort eating. š Create a more holistic approach to your overall health and wellbeing so you feel energised instead of forcing yourself to stick to a rigid diet or exercise regime. If any of that sounds even a little bit exciting then youāll absolutely love what we have to offer.

ā Cravings are like an engine warning light on a car. ā Theyāre your body's way of telling you something is wrong. ā That you need to pay attention. Have you ever noticed that when youāre craving, even when you give in you never feel any better? In fact, most times you feel worse. I want to be honest with you here, this reel is simplistic. It explains the ethos but it often takes weeks and months to actually put this into practice. Why? Because most of us are dieting with our heads. Weāre so intensely focused on what we SHOULD be doing. If you're anything like the ladies I coach youāre probably logically counting calories and meticulously tracking our nutrition (or at least for the first few days lol) Youāre not focused on whether youāre fully enjoying the food, if youāre truly hungry or just craving and youāre probably eating beyond your fullness signals because most women have no idea how to tap into these intuitive tools. Youāre not alone - I used to be exactly the same. Bingeing on tubs of ben & jerries or share bags minstrels - mindfulness consuming hoping that they would take the edge off and make me feel better But instead I felt bloated, disgusted and like a failure. Every. š«£ Single. š«£ Time. š«£ I didnāt become an expert in this work by accident And it wasnāt just my medical career, nutrition diploma or experience that got me here. It was the double ace of professional experience and sadlyā¦ personal experience. But you too can break the snacking cycle and create food freedom, like I did. If youāre looking for a more holistic way to take care of your health, improve your wellbeing and master cravings so you can (finally) lose weight for good I have something to share with you. The Nourish Academy is open for enrolment. Itās a 12-week intimate small group experience to help professional women create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, maximise their energy, build self confidence and lose weigh

Have you listened to my most recent podcast yet? I donāt say this lightly, but McKenzie was one of best podcast hosts Iāve ever been interviewed by. She asked incredible questions and squeezed out every ounce of value I had to offer.

Ever wondered why you eat cr*p when youāre not even hungry? I did tooā¦ Iād find myself eating tubs of ice cream and finishing share bags of sweets wondering why the hell couldnāt I just say no? Iād give myself a good talking to and tell myself Iād try harder tomorrow. Tomorrow came and the same thing would happen over and over againā¦ It was only when I truly understood how to identify the difference between hunger and cravings that I was able to see clearly that this binge eating behaviour wasnāt a conscious choice. It was a self sabotage pattern (I'd go as far as to say a form of self harm). It was a desperate attempt to seek pleasure in a time where I was emotionally depleted, physically exhausted and stressed out of my box. It only ever happened after a crazy long and stressful day at work. It never seemed to happen when I felt calm, at ease or happy. So if youāre beating yourself up for craving sugar and giving in, then you might want to consider another way to approach it. Using curiosity and compassion to understand why we donāt stick to our healthy eating and exercise regime is one of the biggest tools I teach in coaching. When we are genuinely curious as to why we are craving something, without judgement, it can help us better understand and isolate the root cause. And being compassionate towards ourselves in times of challenge helps us to fast track resolution. Think about it this way; if it was your best friend, Iām willing to bet, you wouldnāt say the same things to her as you say to yourself. So Iām inviting you to get curious and compassionate about the root cause of your sugar cravings. Is it truly hunger? Is it sheer exhaustion? Is there something else causing discomfort in your life? This is why I believe that willpower, grit or determination isnāt enough to create long term weight loss. Our behaviours are a product of deep rooted psychological programming that we need to isolate and rewrite. So if
