Have you ever found yourself doing really well with your health habits, only to slowly slip back into old patterns?

Maybe life got busy. Maybe stress took over. Maybe one small detour turned into weeks or months of feeling off track.

In this episode, Rachelle explores the often-overlooked topic of self-sabotage and why so many of us struggle to maintain positive changes, even when we genuinely want better health.

You'll learn:
• Why our brains are wired to prefer familiarity over change
• How the all-or-nothing mindset keeps us stuck
• The surprising role that fear of success can play
• Why stress often causes us to return to old coping strategies
• The connection between identity, self-belief, and lasting change
• Practical tools to help you recognise self-sabotaging patterns and recover more quickly

Drawing on her own experiences, from bodybuilding and powerlifting to stepping into a completely new career as a Flight Attendant.  Rachelle shares honest reflections on confidence, growth, and learning to trust yourself through life's transitions.

This episode is a reminder that lasting health isn't built through perfection. It's built through awareness, resilience, self-compassion, and the willingness to keep showing up for yourself, even when things don't go to plan.

Do you feel like certain foods have “power” over you?

Maybe you tell yourself:
“I can’t have chocolate in the house.”
“If I open the packet, I won’t stop.”
“I’ve completely blown my diet.”

In this episode, I’m talking about something so many people struggle with and that is rebuilding trust with food.

I explore:
• Why restriction often backfires
• The psychology behind cravings and overeating
• How diet culture damages our relationship with food
• Emotional eating and all-or-nothing thinking
• Practical tools to help rebuild self-trust around food
• Why true health includes freedom — not perfection

I also share part of my own journey and how I completely changed my relationship with food after years of struggling with bulimia.

This episode is not about another diet or food rules.
It’s about learning to nourish your body, enjoy food again, and stop living in the cycle of guilt and restriction.

Because one meal doesn’t define your health journey…
Your long-term habits do.

Why do we keep falling back into the same habits… even when we know what to do?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Life Coach and Hypnotherapist Rafa Tadielo to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface when it comes to behaviour change.

We dive into how the subconscious mind shapes our daily choices, why willpower isn’t enough, and how deeply ingrained patterns can keep us stuck in cycles around food, health, and self-sabotage.

Rafa shares practical insights into how hypnotherapy and mindset work can help rewire these patterns, allowing change to feel easier, more natural, and long-lasting.

This episode is for you if you feel like:
• You “know what to do” but can’t seem to stick to it
• You’re constantly starting over
• You want a deeper understanding of why change feels so hard
• You’re ready to approach your health in a completely different way

This is about changing the way your mind works with you, not against you.

Bloating is one of the most common concerns I hear, and often, it leads to cutting out more and more foods with little relief.

In this episode, we shift the focus away from “what to avoid” and instead explore why your body is reacting in the first place.

You’ll learn how bloating is often a sign of poor digestion rather than a specific food intolerance. We cover common triggers, but more importantly, the root causes — including low stomach acid, gut imbalances, stress, hormones, and slowed digestion.

I also touch on:
• The gut–stress connection and why your nervous system matters
• Hormonal influences on bloating (especially for women)
• Common gut conditions like IBS and SIBO
• The link between constipation and bloating
• Simple, practical ways to start supporting your gut

If you feel like you’re reacting to everything you eat, this episode will help you understand why — and what you can start doing about it.

Bloating isn’t random. It’s a message from your body.

Tired all the time, even when you’re trying to do all the right things?

In this episode, we go beyond the usual advice of “get more sleep” and dive into what’s really going on inside your body when your energy is low.

We talk about the tiny powerhouses inside your cells (your mitochondria) and why they play such a crucial role in how energised, focused, and resilient you feel day to day.

You’ll learn:

If you’ve been feeling flat, foggy, or like your body just isn’t bouncing back the way it used to, this episode will help you understand why — and what you can start doing about it.

Thinking about eating healthier, but feeling overwhelmed by where to start?

In this episode, Rachelle breaks down how to transition to a whole-food way of living in a way that feels simple, realistic, and sustainable, not restrictive or complicated.

You’ll learn what “whole foods” really mean, why ultra-processed foods keep you stuck in cravings, and how small, consistent changes can completely shift your energy, metabolism, and relationship with food.

Rachelle shares practical, everyday strategies, including how to assess what’s currently in your kitchen, simple swaps you can start making today, how to build a nourishing pantry without wasting money, and how to keep meals easy while still supporting your health goals.

This episode is all about progress over perfection and meeting yourself where you’re at and building habits that actually last.

If you’ve ever felt like healthy eating is “too hard” or “too expensive,” this is the reset you need.

Perimenopause and menopause can feel confusing, unpredictable, and at times overwhelming… but it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode, Rachelle breaks down what’s really happening in your body during this transition, and how to support yourself through it in a practical, natural, and empowering way.

You’ll learn why symptoms like poor sleep, weight gain, mood changes, and brain fog occur, and more importantly, what you can do to feel more balanced, energised, and in control.

This episode covers:
• What perimenopause is and when it starts
• Why some women struggle more than others
• The role of estrogen and progesterone (and why the fluctuations matter)
• How blood sugar impacts cravings, weight, and mood
• Key nutrients to support your body during this stage
• Simple nutrition and lifestyle strategies to reduce symptoms and improve wellbeing

If you’re in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you better understand your body and give you practical tools to thrive through this phase of life.

Because menopause isn’t the beginning of decline, it’s an opportunity to take control of your health and feel your best.

Do you ever find yourself eating when you're not truly hungry, turning to food when you’re stressed, tired, overwhelmed, or bored?

In this episode, Clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath Rachelle Turrell explores the psychology and biology behind emotional eating, why it happens, and how to begin breaking the cycle without strict dieting or food restriction.

Rachelle explains how stress, unmet emotional needs, and even under-eating during the day can trigger emotional eating at night. She also shares practical tools to help you pause in the moment, understand your triggers, and rebuild a healthier relationship with food.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why emotional eating happens
• How dieting can make it worse
• The role of blood sugar, sleep, and stress
• Simple strategies to break the emotional eating cycle

If emotional eating is something you struggle with, you’re not alone — and change is absolutely possible.

Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why? Lost your words mid-sentence? Felt like your thoughts were moving through mud?

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and frustrating) symptoms I see in clinic - Brain fog.

Brain fog is a signal that something in the body is out of balance. Whether it’s blood sugar crashes, chronic stress, hormonal shifts in perimenopause, nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, infections, poor sleep, or histamine overload… your brain is often the first place you feel it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What brain fog is (and why it’s not “just in your head”)
• The 8 most common root causes
• How blood sugar, stress, hormones, and gut health impact mental clarity
• The connection between sleep and cognitive performance
• Practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies you can start immediately
• Evidence-informed supplements that may support focus and clarity

If you’ve been feeling forgetful, scattered, low in focus, or just “not yourself,” this episode will help you understand why, and more importantly, what you can do about it.

You don’t have to accept brain fog as part of being busy, ageing, or overwhelmed. There are answers, and there are solutions.

If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it, and if you’d like deeper support, The Whole Health Revolution is here for you.
