    111: Why celebrities are going booze-free and how you can too

    Do you drink to feel better, only to end up feeling more anxious and tired?

    Alcohol has many consequences on our health. And as of recent years, more people are ditching booze and embracing the sober life. Including big names like Adele, Lucy Hale, Miley Cyrus, Kyle Richards, and Blake Lively.

    In this juicy episode, we dive deep into the world of the 'sober curious'. Unveiling the secrets behind why some of your favourite celebs are saying "no thanks" to booze. And spilling the tea on their sober journey - from the health perks to the battle against societal pressures.

    Their stories, much like my own, delve into the personal growth glow-up that comes from building a healthier relationship with alcohol.

    Ready to be inspired? Tune in and let's get real about going alcohol-free—it's cooler than you think!

    110: Help! I can't stop at 2 squares of chocolate

    Ever found yourself reaching for a few squares of chocolate, only to feel a wave of guilt as the last square disappears? You're not alone. 

    In this episode, we unpack the science and psychology behind out-of-control chocolate eating habits. And most importantly, how we can navigate around the "I have to finish all of this now" thinking trap.  

    It's not just about saying no or yes to chocolate. It's about understanding WHY we crave it and HOW we can enjoy it mindfully. All while learning to appreciate the pure pleasure of eating the chocolate you actually like, without substituting it with less fulfilling options. Cause let's be real, those sugar-free or 95% dark chocolate varieties just ain't it.  

    You too can become one of those people who have a few squares of chocolate and feel satisfied enough not to eat the entire block. So, press play and find out how 🍫

    109: Why can't I stop overeating at night? I'm worried about my weight

    109: Why can't I stop overeating at night? I'm worried about my weight

    Ever wondered why you can't stop eating at night? 

    Can you relate to the feeling of late-evening pantry raids after a not-so-peachy day. You might eat a biscuit, then five minutes later a slice of cheese. Followed by a handful of grapes… and half a Mars bar. Then go back to the biscuits for (probably) 6 more. 
    …Trying to fill that hole, that gap, that needed to be fed. 
    If you are nodding along, thinking, "Mmm-Hmm, this is me," just know you're not alone. I’ve been there, done that, plenty of times myself. 

    Together, we'll uncover WHY those (unhelpful) daytime diets might set us up for evening binges and HOW a shift towards balanced, intentional eating to build healthier habits to kick emotional eating to the curb.

    Say hello to a world where complex carbs, proteins, healthy fats, and fiber are your BFFs in the fight against the late-night munchies, and where you can FINALLY feel in control around food.

    The second half of today's chat we peel back the layers of emotional eating - with experiences from my own journey. If you've ever found solace in a cookie (or half the packet..) we're going to break down those patterns and learn how to find comfort beyond the pantry and let go of the food-guilt (HOORAY!)

    108: Nat's Real Story "I never thought I was thin enough"

    108: Nat's Real Story "I never thought I was thin enough"

    "You're constantly striving for more, you want to be thinner, you want to look better. And it's just like this toxic path that never really ends and it never gets you anywhere. I should have asked for help..."

    On this week's episode I am joined by real story guest Natalia Szala. And this week's is a bit of a special one, as Nat is also my colleague and friend. 

    When we get together to film we'll often hash back to all of our previous dieting years, sometimes having those "holy moly, you did that too!" moments together. 

    And today we are sharing these all with you too! 

    Diving into our own battles with food, from the sneaky (and deceptive!) comfort of solo binge-eating sessions. To the quiet struggles so often hidden behind social media's "flawless" bodies.
    We're peeling back the layers to let you know you'e not alone.

    Nat and I dig into the whole external validation thing... Where what's oh-so often praised as 'discipline' can actually be reinforcing harmful habits.

    And we shed light on the necessity of confronting the roots of disordered eating. So you can live a life without obsessing over food!

    Chloe spills the beans on leveling up our gut tolerance and why it's key for a kickass gut microbiome. She's your go-to guru for tackling IBS, serving up savvy strategies and pro tips for finding gut nirvana without giving up the joy of eating the foods you love!

    106: Do I need to fear carbs?

    106: Do I need to fear carbs?

    Have you ever found yourself in a carb conundrum.. Staring down a plate of pasta while your diet plan screams "NO"?  I, Lyndi Cohen, certainly have. And I'm ready to spill the beans on the love-hate relationship we have with carbohydrates. 

    Listen up, as this week's episode we dive head-first into the murky waters of diet culture, starting with my own story involving a Hens party, an Italian restaurant and my low-carb misadventures. Not a match-made-in-heaven you could say! 

    Let me take you on a journey through the ups and downs of my diet obsession and how I found my way to intuitive eating. A liberating approach where I've learned to listen to my body's natural hunger cues. WITHOUT the guilt.

    Waving a big Bye-Bye to the crappy low-carb craze, this episode is all about setting the record straight on carbohydrates. From energy slumps to the social minefield of mealtime choices, we'll bust the myths that have unfairly demonised this essential (and super delicious!) nutrient. 

    I'll reveal the pesky side effects of cutting carbs . Which may shock you! By the end of our chat, you'll see carbohydrates in a whole new light – as your body's best bud and preferred energy source. NOT the bad guy! 

    So, get-set for a conversation that’s all about embracing the guilt-free, healthy life you deserve. With a side of that freshly baked Sourdough bread!

Love Lyndi

I love listening to Lyndi’s positive, hopeful, and practical advice on her podcasts. I would really like to see more content dedicated to specific GI issues and health concerns and the impact of diet. Examples include IBS, premenopause, cooking for kids with ADHD or other disorders, reviews of supplements or which whole foods impact these conditions.

Keep going Lyndi… loved your books as well. ❤️
