In this short episode I chat about the influence the diet culture has on us and our ability to listen to our hunger cues. When we are looking to regulate our eating and improve our overall health, what we put into our body in the way of fuel is extremely important. If we're not hearing it's cues on what we need how is it supposed to help us function?

The diet culture has significantly messed with this innate biological function, and while we've been jumping from one diet to another, our poor body's have been trying to survive. The diet backlash is real and we've set ourselves up for one failure after another. 

Listen for some simple steps you can take to start relearning to listen to her and how you might actual improve your metabolism by ditching the diet culture.

In this episode I'm sharing with parents what to keep an eye on when it comes to your child's gut health. Kids can't always tell you how they are feeling or describe easily what is troubling them. Often they don't know any different. So keeping an eye on these symptoms can be the sign that you might want to investigate more.

If some of the signs I mention in this episode tick the boxes with your child's symptoms, then contact me and let's work on it together. You can book a free 15 minute discovery call here. You can also check out all my services and offers at brookearcher.com.au
