No Wellness Wankery

Meet our next real story guest, Tanya. 

Tanya has suffered from disordered eating and various eating disorders her entire life. From the pressures of dance classes at the young age of 5, to the influence of her all-girls schooling, Tanya's story is unfortunately relatable, but her recovery is inspiring.

Join Lyndi as she explores Tanya's journey from restrictive eating and excessive exercise to bingeing during her teenage years, and her path to recovery through Lyndi’s Keep It Real program. 

They chat about how recognising and validating your own emotions can help cope with difficult days, and how a compassionate approach to oneself is crucial when dealing with disordered eating. 

Tanya reveals her ultimate source of inspiration: her four-year-old daughter. As a single mother, Tanya is determined to rebuild her relationship with food and her body, becoming a healthy role model for her child.

This conversation serves as a reminder to anyone struggling with disordered eating: recovery is possible, and it's never too late to embark on a journey of healing and self-acceptance.

Thinking about food when you’re hungry or making cooking plans is completely normal. But thinking about food constantly? That may be a sign something is up.

You're not alone. The statistics show that 70 - 80% of women have disordered eating. But when does disordered eating become an eating disorder? And most importantly, how can we stop it?

The first step in creating a lasting change in your relationship with food is recognising if the thoughts or behaviours you have around food that are disordered. Only when you acknowledge a problem, can you start to get the support to solve it.

Whether you're looking to improve your own relationship with food or support someone else in their journey, this episode will help you recognise the signs.

P.s. If you struggle with binge and emotional eating, please try Lyndi's FREE 5-day course. It’ll teach you the strategies she used when learning to stop binge eating.

Experiencing anxiety can feel like an uphill battle, but what if alcohol is contributing to your anxiety?

Lyndi was diagnosed with clinical anxiety at the age of 21 and has experimented with medication, therapies and habits along the way. But she was fascinated about the disappearance of her anxiety during both her pregnancies. In this episode Lyndi & Jenna share  personal experiences with anxiety and a journey to better mental health.

Lyndi is on a year-long alcohol break, exploring the booming selection of non-choices, and seeing if it is making a lasting impact on her mental health.  Jenna has previously done a similar experiment but with different results. And we love this because as with everything we highlight in this podcast, it is all about personal experimentation and what works for you.

Listen in as we highlight the importance of being mindful of our alcohol consumption and its potential to take the 'spark' out of our lives.

Wanna drink less? Not sure how? Well, we have some news… join the waitlist HERE for first access to resources that'll help you have a healthier relationship with alcohol.

Lyndi doesn't often talk about weight loss, although it's something clients frequently approach her about. The reason? Trying to lose weight often makes you more obsessed with food, making it harder to be healthy. Plus, pursuing weight loss doesn't actually lead to weight loss.

However, she isn't against you losing weight. She is against you trying to lose weight.

It's a subtle but oh-so-important difference. Weight loss is fine. But don't aim for it. Don’t slay your body, don’t compromise your well-being in order to lose weight. Let it become something that happens as a side effect of making healthier choices.

There is a way we can have a healthy conversation about the desire to lose weight and we are tackling it in this 3 part series. If you haven't listened to episodes 1 & 2, jump into those first so you have the background for the thinking around this nuanced topic.

In part 3, let's look at what Lyndi is actually doing and implementing into her new mother-of-two life. It is time for the practical strategies for achieving a stronger and healthier body without dieting.

Remember the relentless pursuit of weight loss often leads to an unhealthy obsession with food, making it even harder to feel good. Let's do the opposite.

For more support, read Lyndi's book 'Your Weight is Not the Problem'. It’s been ranked #1 on Amazon in women’s health for 10 weeks straight, and for good reason. You can buy it wherever all good books are sold or get the audiobook. Get the deets and access to a free audio sample HERE.

In this episode, we continue the conversation around the post-baby journey with Lyndi. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, we highly recommend starting there to get the full context.

Lyndi knows the significance of being open and authentic about her post-baby weight loss experience. She wanted to avoid creating the narrative that the weight will simply "fall" off her without any effort. Because let's face it. It won't.

However, she also admitted feeling nervous about discussing this topic in the non-diet world, where conversations around weight are sensitive and complex. Especially if people are on different stages of their own journey in rebuilding their relationships with food and their bodies.

Despite the challenges, we know this is an important conversation to continue. Because you can accept your body as it is and also make food and movement choices that will make your body feel great at the same time.

Lyndi has helped so many people in their fight against diet culture, recognising that each journey is unique. However, amidst the differences, there are many common threads that connect us all as we battle the Wellness Wankery. Enter Real Stories. And it is oh so exciting to share them with you!

The first guest, Tracey, bravely shares her deeply personal story. At the tender age of 5, Tracey found herself thrust into the world of diets, an experience that profoundly shaped her relationship with food and her body. And by the time she turned 10, she had already begun a secret and strained journey with food.

Join us as Tracey tells her story nearly 50 years on - of weight loss surgery and countless diets, recounting the lessons learned along the way and how she is heading towards self-acceptance.

In a society where there’s so much pressure on us to do all the things, it’s no surprise we’re all so freakin’ exhausted.

When we’re burning the candle at both ends, it’s tempting to mainline caffeine just to get through the day. And don’t get me wrong, I love my magical bean juice as much as the next girl. It’s delicious. But when we’re already overwhelmed and exhausted, drinking too much coffee can just put more pressure on our adrenals. Sadly, coffee is not the answer. Neither is wine, although it may help you forget the question!

So what is the answer? Better quality sleep. Excellent Sleep. 

Enter Dr Stan Rodski. Stan Rodski is a highly respected cognitive neuroscientist and authority on improved brain performance in high-stress situations. He is the author of The Neuroscience of Mindfulness and more recently, The Neuroscience of Excellent Sleep.

Let's get his top 5 tips for having a better night's sleep.

Ps. If you need a bit of extra support, read my book Your Weight is Not the Problem, which has been ranked the #1 Women’s Health book on Amazon for 10 weeks straight. It offers a step-by-step plan for ridding your brain of diet nonsense and gives you a non-diet plan for healthy habits that actually stick (for example how to get better sleep!).

Do you feel like you are doing all the "right" things but you can't seem to lose weight. You are counting calories or counting macros - never straying from the plan - and yet nothing seems to be happening.

If it feels like your body is fighting against you when you try to lose those last few kilograms, it’s because of your body IS fighting against you. 

This used to be Lyndi. When she was a dieter, she punished herself to try and look better in a bikini. She wasted time wondering why she was gaining weight even though her food consumption was perfectly calculated. 

It made everything harder… But not anymore.

Because through learning about intuitive eating, she discovered the real secret to health.

Just take a handful of almonds!

Don’t count them. In fact, you don’t need to count anything including macros, points and calories. It’s soul sucking and makes healthy eating painful. You can only count for so long before you feel deprived. 

You don’t want to spend the rest of your life counting… you just want to be able to eat and enjoy and be happy. 

Count the things you should be grateful for. Way more effective. 

📘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.
