"I don't have time to exercise, I don't have time to prepare healthy meals, I don't have time to meet up with friends, to relax, to watch telly, to tidy" etc etc etc. Does any of this sound familiar? I think I've said all of these several times, often followed by "how come everyone else seems to manage? There must be something wrong with me. If only I had/didn't have XYZ". In this short episode, A...

In this short episode, I'm sharing some of my thoughts around lifestyle change and the power influencers have over us when it comes to what we consume.  When did we stop trusting our own gut, intuition (spleen, if you're into HD), instincts, call it what you will, and blindly follow every advice that's dished out to us, even when our bodies are screaming NOOO?! I'd love to connect with you on this...

Intuitive eating is a field I know little about, but something I want to learn more about. I often find when working with clients that they want to be told what to eat, but in my opinion that won't work in the long run, because as much as I'd like to, I can't forever be holding their hand. That's why I've got Marcelle Rose with me to help me understand what intuitive eating is. Marcelle specialise...
