In this episode, I explore why we can't always trust our feelings when assessing whether we're eating enough. I unpack the common cycle of restriction, hunger, guilt, and loss of control, and explain why getting ahead of hunger is often one of the most important steps toward a calmer, more sustainable relationship with food. If you've ever felt stuck in this pattern, this episode is for you.

The process of bulking and reducing, or bulking and cutting - intentionally gaining  weight while using weight training to gain muscle, then entering a fat loss phase - is something that’s talked about a lot in the fitness space. I’ve seen it be a normal part of some people’s journey’s, and I’ve seen it go horribly wrong. 

In this episode, Annabelle is joining us to discuss some of her experiences and explore alternatives! But before we get into the episode remember - Please use discretion when choosing whether or not this episode is a helpful one for you. This is not a substitute for medical advice, and we are not recommending the “bulking & cutting” process.

How can we genuinely want to change, even know what we want to do… and still not feel stuck?

In this episode, we unpack the gap between knowing what you want old patterns that take over under stress, shame, pressure, exhaustion, and discomfort.

If something in here resonates, please don't sit with it alone. This is about awareness and education, not medical advice or a self-help guide.

We're unpacking "misery stabilisers" - coping patterns that reduce anxiety short-term while keeping us stuck in familiar cycles of stress and despair. And if you feel called out during this episode, I'm sharing a couple of my own... the things I have to be mindful of daily to stop me from messing my life up.

For years, my mood, confidence, and sense of control were tied to food and how I felt about my body. Dieting, binge eating, overtraining, guilt, anxiety. It all felt so normal I couldn’t imagine life without it. 

In this episode I’m sharing the practical steps I take every day that make life feel very different. Plus the lingering problem that stuck around even after I was free from disordered eating, and how I was left with no choice but to deal with it.

In this episode, we'll unpack why food noise and body image anxiety stick around, and what actually helps quiet them. Drawing on principles from intrusive-thought and OCD treatment, we’ll look at how attention, rumination, strict dieting, and chaotic eating often keep the problem going.

GLP-1 weight loss medications are changing the conversation around food, weight, and health, but they’re also raising a lot of confusion and strong opinions.

In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from working with clients using GLP-1s over the past two years, who they tend to help most, who struggles with them, and why. I also unpack my own past misconceptions about “food noise,” and why it isn’t always just the result of dieting or poor habits.
