In this episode, we’re addressing Rachel’s struggle with the relentless cycle of dieting.
At 43, Rachel has tried every diet from keto to intermittent fasting, only to find herself stuck in a loop of weight loss and gain, leaving her feeling like a failure. As a busy mum of two teenagers, balancing work and home life, Rachel feels overwhelmed by the constant pressure to follow restrictive diets and is yearning for a healthier, more sustainable approach to well-being.
I’ll be guiding Rachel through a process of self-discovery to uncover the reasons behind her dieting habits and what a truly healthy lifestyle means to her. 
We’ll discuss practical tips and key areas to focus on to break free from the diet mindset and embrace a more balanced, enjoyable way of living.
