#mindful eating

Today I am joined by weight loss surgeon Simon Monkhouse.  In our fascinating conversation Simon helps us navigate the different weight loss surgical options, as well as emphasising the importance of an holistic approach to a successful outcome for bariatric patients.  One area of which is mindful eating. 

We discuss the complex nature of obesity, the damage done by dieting to our natural weight set point and metabolism, and how surgery interrupts and resets the body to help people suffering with obesity reconnect with their hormones to eat more normally and lose weight.

It's a really enlightening conversation which may answer several questions you have about this huge topic.  As Simon says, we'd need 24 hours to talk about it properly!

Today I talk to a very interesting guest.  An interesting life and an interesting take on health and well-being.  It's well worth a listen.

Vicky Midwood - AKA:  The Addictions Eliminator & Health Creator is an integrative health, nutrition and lifestyle coach who has been in the fitness and wellness world for over 32 years.  She is an author, podcaster (Raw Chatter) and creator of the B.L.A.S.T method to fabulous freedom.

Vicky started out as a fitness and fat loss instructor in 1991 as a way to justify and hide her bulimia, food, alcohol and exercise obsession - she shares her experiences with us on the podcast. On the outside she aimed to inspire, be a role model of fitness, strength and control, yet on the inside she was a full of guilt and shame and exhausted from hiding her real behaviour around food and alcohol. 

Driven by her own rehabilitation experiences, Vicky has a passion for helping others to reconnect to themselves as a whole, to re-imagine life free from the daily obsession and compulsion to use food and/or alcohol to reward, numb-out, soothe and cope with feelings and the daily routine. 

She states that her mission is to help you understand YOU in a way you never have before, and to embrace ALL that you are, instead of you feeling you have to be MORE than you are.

Leanne shares a candid conversation with me about her experiences.  After a traumatic event she found a need for control in her life and used tracking of food and exercise as way to do it.  This turned into an obsession which dominated her life.  She talks about her transition from living this way to finding freedom around food and exercise, by practising mindfulness and intuitive eating.  She subsequently trained as a nutritionist. 

It's a fascinating and honest account of how you can turn around your life with food.

In this episode I'm talking to Vicky Fox, a level 5 reflexologist.  I had no idea about the far reaching benefits of reflexology until I spoke to Vicky.  These include (amongst others) increased circulation, healthy promotion of sleep as well as re energising, rejuvenating and stimulation of the different systems within your body.   It can also support a fertility, pregnancy and maternity journey, provide relief alongside palliative care and also help businesses to reduce stress in the workplace.  Amazing!

Vicky talks about her change of career into this area which has become a passion profession!  It can be enjoyed as a one off treatment or as part of the management for an ongoing condition.
