Calories are everywhere—on food labels, menus, and weight loss programs. But how accurate is the "calories in, calories out" model? In this episode, Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor Emma Townsin uncovers the truth behind calorie calculations, metabolism, and why the 2000kcal per day guideline isn't what it seems. We dive into how calorie counts are determined, why our bodies adapt to calorie intake, and how focusing on numbers can harm our relationship with food. Instead of rigid calorie tracking, Emma shares how intuitive eating can help you reconnect with your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues for a healthier, more balanced approach to eating. ✨ Download your free e-book : “Stop Stressing Over Food – The 5 Steps You Need for Joyful Eating” at www.foodlifefreedom.com/free-resources 📩 Book a free discovery call to start your journey toward food freedom.

Today Sherry and I discuss the challenges many women face while navigating midlife and menopause while living in a diet culture. From navigating emotions, weight changes, life changes and our society's erasure of aging women, there can be a lot to process and accept which can for some lead us toward dieting as a way to try control a changing internal and external world. Sherry shares some non-diet support and tips for those approaching or navigating this time of life. About Sherry Pratt Sherry is a certified coach and trained intuitive eating counselor. She left an accomplished and successful 25 year career as an IT professional and corporate executive to start her own health coaching business. Her passion is helping women in midlife break free from yo-yo dieting and live comfortably in their bodies without feeling like they're giving up on themselves or their health. When she's not helping women reach their health goals, you can find her parenting her 2 teenage sons, behind the wheel of a tractor helping her husband out on their grain farm, tending her rather large vegetable garden, staying active playing pickleball and curling within her local community or relaxing with a glass of wine and a good book.

16:10

Today, we are exploring what it really means to be “healthy”? Is health a personal responsibility? And how much impact does diet and exercise really have on our health? By understanding what makes you feel healthy, rather than what our culture says should be healthy, you can prioritise the areas of your health and wellbeing that really matter to you. This episode is an exploration, from my own personal perspective looking into the current research and knowledge we have of what it really means to be healthy and how this differs from our common cultural perceptions of health. Of course, your thoughts about health may differ from mine and that is ok.
