Have you seen intuitive eating being touted as a weight loss method? Perhaps you have avoided intuitive eating because you think you'll end up eating pizza and chocolate all day.

There are a few myths around intuitive eating and in this episode of the Un-Diet Your Menopause podcast, I'm sharing my take on these myths so you can decide for yourself if its right for you in perimenopause.

Will you lose weight or gain weight? What food will you end up eating once diet rules are out of the way? Will you end up never eating cake again? What happens to binge eating?

In this episode you'll learn more about what intuitive eating is, what its not, who it's for and how it can support your health, especially in perimenopause.

Books I recommend to help you get to grips with Intuitive Eating are

This week I'm frustrated at yet another attempt at body positive marketing that has simply just left many of us out of the picture. If we can wear the shorts, could we please have some in our size?

If you are heading in to summer and feeling all the body image issue churning up as you try and figure out what the heck you are going to wear and how to get past your fears of showing your body to the world after what feels like the longest winter, have no fear because I'm delivering the pep talk you need to not give a crap what anyone thinks this summer!

Ironically, women are stereotyped as 'emotional', but in reality we are often only allowed to exhibit emotions we feel safe to express around other people.

In perimenopause your fuse might be shorter than a stick of dynamite and you cant keep a lid on the boiling pot of emotion that bubbles inside of you

Why? Why now in your 40's are you losing your cool in work, at home, with the kids, the husband, partner or even the dog?

Because your good girl hormone has left the building! Yes our little friend Oestrogen is responsible for making sure you stick to the rules of being the nice one, but she's leaving you high and dry and you're left with some serious rage that seems to come from nowhere.

This surge of emotions is not a fault; it's a compass guiding you towards the areas of your life that need attention.

In this episode I'm going to explain how you can reclaim your emotions without guilt or shame and without feeling like you've hit self destruct button on your life!

Plus get my latest blog post for simple ways you can support yourself through this phase, I use many natural remedies alongside unlearning the patriarchy! I'm sharing them here with you here

This week I'm sharing my secrets to a better nights sleep and some of them might surprise you!

Perimenopause brings with it a new level of sleep deprivation, and I for one wasn't prepared for it at all. I know that you are probably suffering just as much as me.

When you don't get the sleep you need, it can make your perimenopause symptoms worse, and the declining hormones impacts your ability to sleep - it's a vicious cycle.

But instead of sharing with you the usual advice standard advice you might expect to hear, I'm actually going to drill down into some of the real reasons none of the usual advice works for you and some of it might surprise you!

In this episode I want you to see how diet culture and the pressure to be everything to everyone is impacting your ability to sleep, as well as some tough love on one thing you probably haven't addressed.

Dive in to this weeks episode and let's get some sleep!

Body image and how it impacts our ability to have peace in our body is one topic I get so fired up about. This week I am lifting the lid on the societal pressure to conform to thinness and youthfulness that is fed to us from a young age. Where does it come from? Do we really have a preference for a thin body or is it really about keeping us conforming to an unattainable beauty standard?

This episode will help you see the reality behind your desire to be thin, how it affects you in perimenopause and help you take the steps towards unlearning ingrained messaging and finding health and peace outside of the weight loss paradigm.
