Food, Body and Beyond
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to feel relaxed around food? To be in a neutral or even loving relationship with your body? To enjoy movement and for it to enhance and bring joy to your life, rather than being a chore? If you don’t think that’s possible, I’m here to tell you that it absolutely is. Welcome to the Food Body and Beyond podcast, where you will learn how to move away from dieting and towards a healthier, more relaxed relationship with food, movement and body image.

S5 E10: In Session | I’m Struggling to Exercise Regularly
This week, in another real-life, unscripted nutrition counselling session, I speak with a woman who is struggling to integrate a regular and consistent exercise routine into her life. Exercise for her has always been associated with diet plans and losing weight, or has been used as a stick to beat herself with after she ‘fell off the wagon’. She has a desire to change that but is fearful that she’ll fall into old habits and is unsure how to go about this change. Fancy some free nutrition counselling? If you're struggling with something you'd like to get my support with, put yourself forward for a future 'In Session' episode by emailing me on How I can support you: Want to know if you have a healthy relationship with food? Did you know I have a book, that teaches you how to ditch diet culture and rebuild your relationship with food? Interested in working with me?

S4 E6: No Apologies | Living Unapologetically with Laura B
Welcome to the Living Unapologetically interview series, where I speak openly and candidly with people I connect with about their personal experiences of living their most authentic and unapologetic life. Diet culture robs us of living our lives unapologetically by teaching us that we need to look a certain way to be worthy and valuable. The more we conform, the more worthy we perceive ourselves to be. But the attempt to physically shrink or shapeshift ourselves can cause us to shrink as a whole. This series will invite you to consider the possibility of showing up as your authentic self, no matter your size, shape or external appearance, with no apologies. My first guest in the series is one of my best friends, Laura B. This is an open and candid chat between friends about what it takes and how it feels to live unapologetically. If you want to feel inspired while listening to a relaxed chat, this is for you! We speak about: What inspired Laura to set up her women’s circle What happens in a circle and the power that can come from a gathering of women What held her back from showing up unapologetically How accepting every version of herself has helped her to show up as her authentic self What she had to shed to become her unapologetic self Moving away from social conditioning How she found out what was lacking in her life Getting past being afraid of what people will think Getting comfortable with discomfort Where she first learnt the faulty belief that there are good and bad bodies How she acted apologetically in the past and what she would do differently knowing what she knows now

Today I am bringing you the answer to another listener question that I know so many will resonate with: “I'm trying to make peace with all foods but struggle to keep sweet non-nutritious foods in the house as I am afraid I will just eat them out of habit because they are there and handy to access, and not because I really want that specific food at that moment in time. Thanks so much.” Listen to this episode to learn about the three most common reasons you feel out of control around food.

What's the best way to shut down diet talk and communicate intuitive eating to others? That's the topic of this week's 'Ask Niamh' episode.
