No Wellness Wankery

We firmly believe that speaking to a trained mental health professional is 100% wellness and 0% wankery. So in the spirit of wellness, this is the first of many conversations we will have on the podcast about mental health. We need to give our emotional health the same importance we give physical wellbeing.
Lyndi, Jenna and millions of other people around the world have been diagnosed with clinical anxiety. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but it is something we can work with and learn from everyday. Lyndi has learnt a lot along her journey with anxiety and every conversation about treatment options or medication further removes the stigmas around asking for help.
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or any other mental health condition (or even if you are just feeling ‘out-of-sorts’ emotionally), it doesn’t hurt to simply ‘have a chat’ with a professional. You can start with your GP, who can refer you to an awesome Psychiatrist or psychologist. Or you can find a counsellor you like.

The hardest is part is reaching out for support and help. You’ll have to be brave but I promise, it is so worth it.

For more information, check out the awesome peeps at Beyond Blue, or if you think you might need more specialised eating disorder help please reach out to the Butterfly Foundation.
P.s. Let’s stay connected on Instagram! No wellness wankery, I promise. Just bs-free and practical health advice.

Do you feel like you are doing all the "right" things but you can't seem to lose weight. You are counting calories or counting macros - never straying from the plan - and yet nothing seems to be happening.
If it feels like your body is fighting against you when you try to lose those last few kilograms, it’s because of your body IS fighting against you.

This used to be Lyndi. When she was a dieter, she punished herself to try and look better in a bikini. She wasted time wondering why she was gaining weight even though her food consumption was perfectly calculated.

It made everything harder... But not anymore.
Because through learning about intuitive eating, she discovered the real secret to health.
Just take a handful of almonds!
Don’t count them. In fact, you don’t need to count anything including macros, points and calories. It’s soul sucking and makes healthy eating painful. You can only count for so long before you feel deprived.
You don’t want to spend the rest of your life counting... you just want to be able to eat and enjoy and be happy.
Count the things you should be grateful for. Way more effective.

Recently, a lovely client called Elizabeth reached out to me inside my Keep it Real program - a program to help people recover from binge eating disorder and stop emotional eating.

She mentioned that she was struggling with binge eating and ADHD. She says she constantly forget that she is trying to ditch dieting, gets bored with exercise and struggles with impulse control.
Did you know people with ADHD are more likely to struggle with binge eating disorder?
But have you ever wondered why?
Forgotten meals, binge eating, struggling to exercise, and boredom eating – if these things sound familiar to you. Listen up!
I am so pumped to have Becca King join me for this episode.
Becca aka @adhd.nutritionist is an ADHDer helping fellow adult ADHDers.
Becca is a nutritionist and dietitian who will help break down the complexities of ADHD and its link with binge eating disorder. Basically, she's pretty great.
So, what are we chatting about?

• the role of various foods and nutrition and eating patterns in managing ADHD.
• experiments to determine how different foods affect us and satisfy our cravings.
• the need for a balance between routine and novelty.
• balancing intuitive eating with meal planning, especially for those times when ADHD medication may make your hunger cues difficult to hear.
• various ways to honour all forms of hunger.

You often hear dieters say "I really don't eat that much. I have no idea why I can't lose weight". As a past dieter, I know how much I was very religiously sticking to my very few calories that I was allowing myself to have, eating very lightly and not getting anywhere. I would see these diets and meal plans and think 'how do people eat this much?!'
But the truth is diet culture BS has made it SO hard to even know how much you should be eating. Are you eating too much or not enough?
You know it – and I know it – you can’t live your fullest life on an empty stomach. You’re meant for great things but you can’t reach your potential or live your best life when all you think about is food.
Constantly worrying about how much you ate or whether you’re eating the ‘right’ things distracts you from all the important shit you were put on this earth to do! And we can’t have that, because the world needs what you’ve got to share.
Lucky for us, our body has delightful inbuilt systems that can give us all the answers. We just need to learn how to listen.

We are in a wave of new information and research about the gut-brain axis. How the health of our gut can impact our mental health. But did you know this goes both ways? What our thoughts are around food - 'good' foods and 'bad' foods - impacts our stomach and how we feel after eating.
Remember food isn’t good or bad, food is just food. Yet every day, we’re bombarded with conflicting advice about what we ‘should’ be eating. We know it's very easy to tell you 'don't label foods as good or bad', but the Milkshake experiment showed us why it really matters.
Wtf is the Milkshake Experiment? It's a 2011 study, where psychologist Alia Crum got volunteers to drink a 'healthy' milkshake and an 'unhealthy' milkshake... the results will amaze you.
