A lot can happen in 10 years - can't it?

In this week's episode I share with you the lessons I've learned along the way so that you know what to focus on in 2020. So that you leave this podcast with a mini-game plan on how to FEEL the way you want to feel in 2020.

Ep 89: How I Stopped Binge Eating at Christmas (& Learned How to FEAST!)

Christmas can just feel like one long BINGE eating session - can’t it?

 

I know for me it was an excuse to eat ALL the food ‘I wasn’t allowed’ the rest of the year (which let’s be honest, I still ate plenty of every week). I would just stuff myself to the point of feeling very ill and then feel awful about it. I would start the New Year feeling like I’d failed, was the size of a house and feeling grim.

 

This time of year can be stressful and triggering emotional for many of us – but today I share with you how I ditched binge eating and stopped eating my way through all my feelings.

 

Are you ready?

 

And if you want more of my help this Christmas??

Ep 88: Why we all need to do a detox...and it's not what you think!

 

I know I know. The word DETOX can make you think of expensive teas that are just horrid laxatives, useless pill or drinks, or just an excuse to have really disordered eating with the 'acceptable' label of 'detox'.

I get it.

But I also get the nutritional science behind it. I understand our natural detoxification pathways and how and WHY we need to support them. Why is crucial that we support them if we want to balance our hormones, support our energy, clear our skin and prevent future disease.

So if you feel like you need to hit the REST button. Need to sort out your health and get your energy back - then listen to this episode where I share with you why we all need to detox deeply.

Ep 84: Signs & Symptoms of Stress - When you DON'T Feel Stressed!

I cannot tell you the number of times that clients have said to me a consultation 'but Kezia I don't feel that stressed'.

This is often when I have gone away and done my research and done some detective work about what is going on with their health and for so many women (and men - I have male clients too...just not as many!) stress is a foundational piece.

But maybe you don't FEEL stressed. You don't feel that emotion or aren't reacting or in the corner crying and having an obvious outburst.

That doesn't mean you're not stressed...it might just mean that it's become your normal!

And this podcast is SUCH an essential one as I talk about why stress is NOT a feeling - its a biochemical response and that is what we need to be aware of.

Ep 83: What to do when you're STUCK & nothing is working!

Feeling frustrated that NOTHING is working is not fun. Feeling stuck and overwhelmed and like things are never going to change no matter what you do - is SO disheartening.

I've been there and clients come to me all the time saying these exact words. 

'Nothing seems to work. I am just stuck and can't seem to lose weight/beat the bloat/balance my hormones/ditch sugar/ feel energised'

So what do you do? Well in this episode I outline the 3 important questions to answer and how to go back to basics so that you can start to see some results.

Ep 82: Are You Low In...Good Bacteria??

Most of us have been taught that all bacteria are bad. We want to sterilised and sanitise everything. And while this has helped in SO many areas (thank goodness surgeons now wash and sterilise there hand in between patients!) it IS important that within our bodies we have bacterial diversity.

It impacts your weight, energy, mental health, skin and MORE. So this week we are asking - could you be low in beneficial bacteria? Is your gut microbiome diverse or very boring?

Ep 81: Mistakes & Misconceptions Around Food Intolerances (And why it could be impacting YOU!)

'I tried it and it didn't work.' 

This is a phrase that I hear often when it comes to my online nutrition practice, clients will tell me that they've tried ditching dairy/sugar/wheat/gluten/whatever and it's not helped their IBS/PCOS/weight/energy. And sometimes this is 100% the case - food intolerances aren't the be-all and end-all BUT they are often important.

And after further investigation, it turns out that the client hasn't approached food intolerances in the right way at all. And they've made mistakes when it comes to figuring out if they have a food intolerance or not. So that is what this episode is about. The common mistakes people make with food intolerances so you can avoid them and get your energy and belly back QUICKER.
