22m · No Wellness Wankery · 10 Mar 13:00

Have you ever wondered what's the key to a turbo-charged workout that leaves you feeling energised? Well listen up!

In this episode we'll uncover the truth with advanced sports Dietitian Chloe McLeod, who shares why fuelling your body with the right balance of carbs and protein can set your fitness up for success. And who doesn't want that!

Here's the thing. Forget about hitting the gym on an empty stomach—Chloe debunks the myths of low-carb diets and fasting exercises, and teaches us how to unlock the power of nutrition in your workout routine. From Running, to Yoga, to HIIT, to Pilates what to eat right before a workout can help you fly through it (not literally though)!

Learn the "uh-ohs" of underfuelling, and how a well-prepared body can lead to more effective workouts, consistent habits, and better weight management. It really can be that simple!

Skip the energy crashes (and triple-shot coffees to compensate) and enjoy the journey to a fitter and healthier you.

115: Why am I good all day and lose control in secret? Here's how to stop raiding the pantry at night.

Ever find yourself in a battle with the snack drawer after a day of 'perfect' eating?

It’s like your self-control vanishes the second you're home alone. Leaving you stuck in the frustrating cycle of being disciplined during the day, and over-eating at night.

If this rings a bell- stick around as we're diving into the effective strategies that'll revolutionise your relationship with both your pantry and your plate.

I'll introduce you to the "three packet principle," and offer practical advice on breaking free from the "last supper mentality" - guiding you toward a more mindful, intentional relationship with food, without the guilt and self-loathing.

114: Do I have orthorexia or am I just a healthy eater? Recognising the signs before your relationship with food turns into an unhealthy obsession.

Are you always trying to eat perfectly healthy?

As a dietitian, I've watched the pursuit of perfect health become an all-consuming battle for many. Myself included.

In today's episode, we dive into orthorexia nervosa, the thin line between healthy eating and an extreme fixation on so-called 'clean' eating.

We'll explore how the pursuit of eating perfectly can lead to nutritional deficiencies, social isolation, and worsen our mental health. And discuss the importance of support, understanding our relationship with food, and the journey back to enjoying life - beyond what's on our plates.

But recognising the problem is the first step to healing. So, let's get into it.

If you think you may be struggling with orthorexia, please speak to your GP, or get more support at The Butterfly Foundation.

113: "I want to be skinny!" How to navigate bad body image days

Does "I wish I was skinny. I HATE how my body looks" sound familiar?

Wanting to be skinny is something Lyndi & Natalia know too well.

We live in a world that tells us the most impressive thing a woman can be is thin. It's no wonder we are constantly trying to lose weight. But this isn't actually helping us be healthier, more confident or happier.

When you wake up and hate how you look, your knee-jerk reaction might be to go on a diet or cancel plans. But neither of these things helps in the long term.

So how do you navigate these bad body image days? Let's unpack what to do when your body image and self-esteem spiral in 8 simple steps.
