In this episode, I sit down with certified nutritionist and wellbeing coach Alison Wright to unpack what it really means to live well—without falling into the trap of diet culture or restrictive health fads.

Alison opens up about how a high-stress career in journalism left her mentally and physically drained, and how personal health challenges like anxiety and burnout led her down the path of nutrition. Now, she helps others build sustainable, realistic health foundations that prioritise balance over extremes.

We explore the often-overlooked connection between nutrition, stress, sleep, and hormones—and why all four matter when it comes to achieving long-term health and performance. Alison also shares her thoughts on why eliminating entire food groups is not the answer, and why building habits slowly and mindfully is the only sustainable way forward.

Whether you’re someone who’s tired of diet trends, struggling with energy, or just wants to feel better day to day—this conversation is a must‑listen.

What You’ll Take Away:

• Why extreme diets and restriction rarely work—and what to do instead
• The link between stress, hormones, and nutrition (and how to manage it)
• Why personalised, gender-aware strategies matter more than one-size-fits-all plans
• How slowing down your eating habits can actually improve your metabolism and mood
• The real reasons people fall off the health bandwagon—and how to build something that lasts
