This week, in another real-life, unscripted nutrition counselling session, I speak with a woman with diabetes who is struggling to rediscover her intuitive eater while managing a chronic health condition. Having a chronic health condition such as diabetes can feel, as this woman describes, "very unfair", as it adds an extra layer of complexity to food and your choices. There is however, a way to make space for reconnecting with your intuitive eater and managing a chronic health condition, such as diabetes, allergies, coeliac disease, IBS or other health conditions. In this episode, we speak about these challenges and I also give you some quick-fire advice on diabetes management and intuitive eating.

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, April 27th, 2023, is the day my debut book No Apologies hits the shelves! I've culminated my years of study and experience into this book, which will teach you how to have a healthier relationship with food, movement and body image. In this episode, I share with you: Why I and the team at Harper Collins decided to title the book No Apologies What you will get from reading the book My signature 'Rebuild' system that makes up the contents of the book An extract from the first few pages Sales in the first week of publication make a massive difference to the success of a book, meaning that it will have more of a chance to make it into the hands of people who truly need it. Purchasing in the first week is the best way to support me and this podcast AND learn about a tried and tested system to rebuild your relationship with food for less than 20quid. You will also be helping spread the word that it IS possible to opt out of toxic diet culture and live a healthy, happy and fulfilling life. Thank you for your support always.
