In the first episode of series two, I speak to Dr Gary Mendoza.

We discuss:

Gary’s background is in personal training, moving on to training trainers and developing a successful nutrition and weight management course. This course formed the basis of his doctoral research, earning a PhD in nutrition, specialising in a multi-dimensional treatment for overweight and obese males. A big part of this research looked at the psychology of change. Gary has since undertaken further training in Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Gary’s other area of expertise is sports nutrition. He was programme leader for sports nutrition and advanced sports nutrition at Massey University in New Zealand and trained with Sports Dietitians Australia (SDA). Gary lectures in nutrition for sport and exercise at Bath Spa and Cardiff Metropolitan Universities and is an Academic Associate member of the SENr. He is director of Stages of Change Ltd and delivers the Behaviour Change Workshop; this workshop teaches personal trainers sound behaviour change principles.

Welcome to the final episode of series one, where I am speaking to Dr Alka Patell, a Lifestyle Medicine Physician, Gp, Coach, Speaker, Author, Podcaster, Workplace Wellbeing Strategist and founder of Lifestyle First and the creator of the L.I.F.E.S.T.Y.L.E First Method.

With over 20 years of experience as a medical doctor, Alka realised that healthcare had an over-reliance on medication as a cure for every illness. A dependence on doctors to wipe away symptoms was detracting from what really mattered.

And this was what really prompted Alka’s approach and generated the L.I.F.E.S.T.Y.L.E First Method, which focuses on the root cause of ill health through a whole-person approach and that embeds self-care at the root of living well. Her approach to health is centred on the knowledge that much disease is preventable, reversible and reducible and that health lies in self-care and self-compassion and in valuing lifestyle first.

In her own words: Health is a verb, not a noun  – make health your doing word – it’s your most valuable asset

This year has been so awfully hard for so many, but especially for those suffering from eating disorders and disordered eating.

This week’s podcast episode with @katiebarb was a real eye-opening connection and discovery of a shared struggle with disordered eating. Katie’s personal journey began with recovering from an eating disorder and she now helps those with a messy relationship with food and their body, uncovering and detangling the subconscious roots of self-sabotaging behaviour in a gentle, loving way.

Katie is a writer, cartoonist, comedian, life coach, occupational therapist and author of her new memoir Fed Up @fedupthebook

Are you a serial dieter? Have you tried “every diet” but each one has somehow failed you? Do you want to end the emotional eating, the toxic shame and harmful guilt? Diet culture tells us weight is a behaviour, that it is all down to us as individuals, but diet culture is not accounting for systems and structures that are entrenched in our society!

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Eaton, a non-diet Dietitian & Nutritionist, PhD student, and former teacher and dancer from Sydney, Australia. We discuss how nutrition is more than just calories, why the language we use around food is SO important and the fu**ed up messages diet culture feeds us everyday of our lives., as well as dispelling some confusing nutrition advice! This is such an incredible chat, with so many important messages to be heard.

Today I am joined by the delightful Hazel Antiporta. Hazel is a Healing and Transformation coach, working as a certified Hypnotherapist, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Time Techniques Practitioner. 

Our brains absorb messages from the world around us. When society and our close circle of family or friends measure us against their rules, those ideals settle into our unconscious thoughts, like a popular song set on repeat, this criticism becomes the basis of how we view ourselves as adults. You might not even realise what tone your self-criticism takes until you become mindful of it...

In this episode you will learn:

➡️ How to develop awareness for your behaviour and thoughts to challenge limiting beliefs, and quieten that critical inner voice.

➡️ Remove harmful words from your vocabulary and creating new thoughts of compassion and understanding.

➡️ Why we often see our self-worth attached to how others perceive our accomplishments, and how to value our inherent worth as a person.

In this episode, I'm joined by Rebecca Stevens (ANutr, MSc), founder of Nourish & Nurture Nutrition to support sustainable, healthy eating for everyday life, based on evidence-based nutrition. Rebecca is anti-diet, guided by the research that highlights the importance of sustainable healthy eating practices and lifestyle adjustments rather than restricting foods or food groups. Her areas of focus include pregnancy, post-natal, weaning and family nutrition. As a mother of three young children (5, 6 & 8), I have first-hand experience of the importance of eating well during these life stages and I am well-practised in feeding hungry kids in a healthy yet convenient way!

Before returning to university to study for an MSc in Human Nutrition, Rebecca spent over ten years in the world of healthcare PR. Transferring this skill set to the nutrition/food sector, she combines her PR agency experience with a creative and flexible approach to projects.

This episode will highlight the importance of fibre consumption and eating more plants in our diets, what to consider when choosing which milk to drink, protein consumption as a vegan and when supplementation is necessary!
