No Wellness Wankery

Group coffee orders can be awkward enough. If you have a complex order, it can be quite daunting to attach your name to a three quarter full extra hot latte. But on Jenna's latest group ordering ordeal, she was shocked to realised she was the only one still drinking cow's milk with her coffee... Feels like we need to chat to Lyndi about this.

As plant based milks continue to rise in popularity, are these really the healthiest options for all people? Are they really the best choice for our planet?

Let's chat.

Were you taught that fruit is fattening, a banana has too many carbs or you can only eat low-sugar fruit? If so, we are very sorry! 

The diet industry has taught us to fear perfectly healthy food like fruit and vegetables. As a result, the list of ‘allowed’ foods becomes so teeny, tiny that we’re left wondering “Wtf am I even allowed to eat anymore!”

But is fruit actually unhealthy?

Let’s be honest. There’s a lot of misinformation out there. The idea of what is or isn't healthy changes with the wind in peoples minds. But in reality it doesn't...

In today's episode, we were prompted by the amazing listener Laura with her question, "what is healthy food?".

Let's dive in.

Spoiler alert: It's a whole bunch of foods that don't cost the earth or your weekly wages…

📘Have you tried a bajillion diets, only to regain the weight (and more)? It’s likely that diet culture is keeping you stuck in this vicious cycle, full of empty promises and failed attempts.

We firmly believe that speaking to a trained mental health professional is 100% wellness and 0% wankery.  So in the spirit of wellness,  this is the first of many conversations we will have on the podcast about mental health.  We need to give our emotional health the same importance we give physical wellbeing.

Lyndi, Jenna and millions of other people around the world have been diagnosed with clinical anxiety. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but it is something we can work with and learn from everyday.  Lyndi has learnt a lot along her journey with anxiety and every conversation about treatment options or medication further removes the stigmas around asking for help. 

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or any other mental health condition (or even if you are just feeling ‘out-of-sorts’ emotionally), it doesn’t hurt to simply ‘have a chat’ with a professional. You can start with your GP, who can refer you to an awesome Psychiatrist or psychologist. Or you can find a counsellor you like. 

The hardest is part is reaching out for support and help. You’ll have to be brave but I promise, it is so worth it. 

For more information, check out the awesome peeps at Beyond Blue, or if you think you might need more specialised eating disorder help please reach out to the Butterfly Foundation.

P.s. Let’s stay connected on Instagram! No wellness wankery, I promise. Just bs-free and practical health advice.

With all the pseudoscience and wacky nutrition nonsense, it’s hard to know what to eat anymore. Huge amounts of nutrition information isn’t always a good thing.. and with the internet era comes a whole new wave of information.

When every Instagrammer with an interest in avocados feels comfortable handing out health advice (even when it’s completely wrong)... we have a problem.

When Netflix releases a new documentary every 6 months that makes us scared of a different food group... we have a problem.

As a dietitian and nutritionist, Lyndi comes across bad health advice all the time. So we thought it was time to sort the wellness from the wankery and run through the worst health advice on the internet – along with some important things to learn along with way.

During Covid lockdowns, Lyndi was bright eyed and bushy tailed and set on having her own organic vegetable patch. Upon reflection she realised she was probably  impacted by the purity ideals of 'eating organic'. She ended up paying a ridiculous amount of money per carrot and was providing a daily delicious lunch to all the local wildlife. But do we really need to go to these extremes? Is it worth the money to buy organic produce?

Rohan sent in a question for this week's podcast asking just that... oh and he wants to know if he should be spending money on expensive supplements.

Let's get into it.

The Keto diet is the just Atkins diet that has been sold to you again. 

Every few years, a new diet becomes the current obsession. Keto is having it’s moment but before then it was the Atkins diet, South Beach, Cabbage diet, Body type diet etc. The list goes on and on...

So what is the Ketogenic diet and does it really work?

Disclaimer: The truth is that all diets work. As long as you can stick to them for the rest of your life. Science says. But most diets are utterly unsustainable. Which is why I believe the best diet to lose weight is no diet at all.

It's feedback like this that adds fuel to my fire. If you haven't yet, read Amazon's #1 Woman's Health book.

You don’t need to weigh yourself. Ever.

In fact, weighing yourself may make it harder to find your healthiest weight in the long term. Have you noticed how seeing a number that you didn’t want on the scale can throw you into a spin and actually demotivate you?

Your health, your progress, your wellbeing cannot be measured with scales.  But why are we all still so hooked on this number?

Need a little extra support to ditch the scales? In my FREE 30-day challenge I’ll teach you how to say goodbye to crappy old-school diet advice and create a healthier relationship with food.

Lyndi used to hate her body. Like really hate her body.

But no matter what she weighed, it was never good enough.  Every time she overate, felt guilty and loathed her body even more. 

Eventually she realised, her weight was never the problem. The problem was a lack of self-acceptance.
