  • #146. Eating windows: how flexible meal timing can improve consistency

    One thing I see regularly are people struggling with consistency around food - and not because they don’t know what to eat, but because rigid meal timing simply doesn’t fit real life. 

    In this episode, I discuss eating windows - a nutrition tool that can help encourage more regular meal patterns whilst allowing for flexibility around life. I cover how eating windows work, who they may help, why flexible structure is often more sustainable than rigid meal schedules and how improving consistency around meal timing may help with energy levels, hunger management and overall nutritional consistency.

    GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have changed the weight loss landscape - but are we using them properly? 

    In this episode, I break down how GLP-1s work, why they're so effective and the concerns around using them without proper lifestyle intervention. I also discuss muscle loss, nutrient deficiencies, weight re-gain and why these medications should support long-term behaviour change - not replace it.
