94: The Psychology of Food & Weight Loss with Josie Jones
Is your relationship with food holding you back?
If you’re anything like me, or the thousands of women who struggle with managing their weight, and their relationship with food and nutrition, particularly during perimenopause, then I think you’re really going to enjoy today’s episode.
I’m joined by food and eating psychology coach Josie Jones, founder of The Mindful Cook and creator of The Non-Diet Method. She works with women to help them to break free from restrictive diets and discover how to use nutrition and mindset skills to feel more energised, stronger and body confident. This is such an important topic and I’m delighted to have Josie back on the show.
In our conversation today you’ll learn about
The journey that Josie herself took to overcome her own unhealthy relationship with food
The impact that our pervasive diet culture has had on generations of women and how restricting calories can actually slow down weight loss
The link between our psychological response to ageing and our relationship with our bodies
How we become more sensitive to cortisol during perimenopause and the impact this can have on our bodies including weight gain and cholesterol
How stress can impact our absorption of nutrients and have a huge impact on our emotional response to food, and tips from Josie to help regulate our nervous system in just 10 minutes a day
Now, while you're listening today, think about how you can take what you learn and put it into practice. Take action in any way that's meaningful for you.
And if you enjoy this episode, it would mean the world to me if you could take 5 minutes and leave a comment and review on one of the podcast channels or just on your favourite social media platform. I love to hear from you, it makes this more of a conversation and due to the way these platforms work it really does mean that others will more easily find the show.
