The Eating Coach

I coined the term chaotic foods to refer to products that have negative and unexpected effects on the body.
In this episode, I chat with nutritional therapist Louise Digby about her take on this topic, as well as sharing some revelations about processed foods that our conversation sparked in me.
Discover:
*Why diet foods can backfire so badly
*Why ultra-processed foods have zero nutritional qualities, but also why they promote overconsumption
*Why fat and carbs can be so addictive
*Why inflammation is such a problem - not least because of how people view it
*How these foods increase food cravings 
*Why hormones are a scapegoat for other issues
*The effect sugar has on the menstrual cycle
*What Louise advises her clients to do re: artificial sweeteners
*The power of retraining your tastebuds
*Louise's 80/20 nutritional principle

In this episode, I explore two very different real life type 2 stories.
In the first story, we meet Hannah, whose food intake was very much controlled by what I call The Inner Food Rebel.
I also interview a client of mine who in 6 weeks has dropped his A1C measure from 58 (well into type 2 territory) to 50 (pre-diabetes) and dropped 6 kilos. Find out how he achieved this.
There are four ways that Hannah and my client diverge. Four factors in their respective outcomes:
1: The Role That Food Plays
2: Control
3: All or Nothing vs Moderation
4: Possibly the most important factor of them all. Listen in to find out what it is.

The hidden gifts of diabetes? Are you bonkers, Harriet?
Well, no. This episode will give you a massive Aha moment as you turn your dread and fear about your health into a feeling that you can do something about this thing.
In this episode, I reveal three positives that you have probably never considered before about this condition.
Gift No. 1: It's A Wake Up Call 
Hear the shockingly hopeful stat that will power up your motivation to do something about type 2 diabetes. Make the choice that you didn't know you have.
 
Gift No. 2: It Can Prevent a Heart Attack
Find out how (and try not to fall off your chair). These facts will blow you away - and maybe save your life one day.
 
Gift No. 3: The Unexpected One
The key changes that will reverse your type 2 diabetes - eating better, moving more and reducing stress - create real pleasure. This stands in opposition to fake pleasure which is a product of ultra processed foods, couch potatoing your way through the weekend and overstimulation.
Find out how you can tell the difference in this episode.
