Nothing everything goes back to our childhood! I know that many of us developed unhelpful eating and drinking habits during the covid lockdowns that have felt particularly hard to change. We placed a lot of importance on food and alcohol as entertainment and solace, fun and relief. 

Drink on a Monday at 4pm? OK!

Cake for breakfast? OK!

Three course dinner for no apparent reason? Yes please! 

I came out of lockdowns weighing the most I ever had without being pregnant! 

I kept trying to lose weight with traditional diets but found it impossible to stay the course and be consistent -- and that's because I had learnt new eating/drinking habits in my home environment and had escalated existing connections between food/alcohol and pleasure/emotional management. 

This episode encourages you to explore what habits changed for you during the lockdowns and whether you have any residual habits that are keeping you from feeling your best.

If you find yourself regularly eating past the point of enough (+4 on the hunger scale) at mealtimes, this episode is for you. Slow down, breathe, and repeat this thought several times at the start and close of each interaction with food.

We can't change what we don't understand. 

This episode encourages you to go back in time and identify the key moments where you built pathways in your brain between feelings and food so that you can address your current behaviours more effectively.

If you find yourself snacking and debating whether you're really hungry or not, start asking yourself this question! It might just give you the insight you need to make the most supportive, honest and loving choice in those moments.

If you feel like you're constantly going to battle with your urges and cravings, this is the episode for you!

We explore why resisting the urge causes us more problems, and why allowing the urge is the goal. I also touch on labelling food as "good" or "bad" and why it's so unhelpful! 

Urge management is a skill which you can start mastering today. Have a listen to find out how.

This week, I have the pleasure of chatting with Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Ian Martin about ADHD and how it can impact our eating (and drinking) behaviours. 

Dr Martin explains what ADHD is, how it most commonly presents in women in their 30s, 40s and into menopause, and how best to create eating habit change for those with ADHD. We discuss self-criticism, failure/risk avoidance, striving for perfection, the comfort of food planning and structure, habit swapping, medication, and more! 

An experienced Consultant Psychiatrist who has worked in both the NHS and for the last 13 years exclusively in private practice in London. He assesses, diagnoses and treats a range of conditions including Adult ADHD. Appointments can be arranged by his Practice Manager Anna Costin ([email protected]). 

He consults in central London, Chelsea, at the Priory Hospital Roehampton and Twickenham and also offers Zoom consultations.

Do you regularly eat when you're bored, stressed, happy, angry, sad? Do you regularly eat when you're not physically hungry but want the act of eating to soothe and comfort you? If YES, this is the episode for you. 

I share why I think changing your goal from weight loss to stopping buffering can be much more compelling and effective in helping you to stop eating to solve your emotions. Weight loss will be a lovely by-product of that but the action is driven by your desire to become the strongest, most capable and resilient version of yourself which will open up your life to greater possibilities. 

I'm now full until Sept '25 for my Signature 1:1 Eating and Drinking Habit Change programme. But if you'd like to explore my deep dive coaching session which is available on Mondays, click here >

In this short episode, I read a poem by Jeff Foster about what we really want in life. I like the idea of considering your cravings and desire for food and alcohol through the lens of this poem, thinking about what might be lacking in your life, and how to see abundance in the present moment that you're in. 

I'm wishing you all a beautiful Easter and I'll see you after the break to kick off season 4 of the podcast!
