As parents, we often underestimate how much influence we have on the way our children think about food and their bodies. Kids absorb messages from the world around them constantly, and one of the most powerful sources is home. The way we talk about food, our own bodies, and the atmosphere we create at mealtimes can shape a child's relationship with their bodies and eating for years to come.

Have you ever finished a meal, felt physically full, and then still found yourself reaching for more food? It can feel confusing and frustrating - like your body is sending mixed signals. In this post, we’re breaking down exactly why that happens and what you can do about it.

You might have wondered whether food, or your relationship with it, will ever get easier? And I get it – it’s a question that so many clients ask. Because for many, food has become exhausting and all-consuming. In this post I want to share my honest answer to this question – does it ever get any easier?

If you’re a high achiever who’s been successful in your career, discipline and structure have likely played a huge role in that success. But what if those same traits are actually making your binge eating worse? In this post, we’re diving into why control works so well in your professional life - but completely backfires when it comes to your relationship with food. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of being “perfect” with eating and then completely losing control, this will help you understand why.

Do you spend the entire day feeling in control of your food choices, only to find yourself losing control at night? If nighttime eating feels like it has a mind of its own, there are often deeper reasons behind it. In this blog post, I explain the three root causes behind nighttime binge eating – they are physical, mindset-related, and emotional. Understanding these factors can help you recognise why nighttime eating patterns happen and what might be fuelling them.

If you feel like a total addict around sugar - sneaking biscuits when no one’s looking, hiding wrappers from your partner, or driving to the corner shop at 10:00 PM to get your fix - this is for you. In this post, I’m breaking down why sugar feels so out of control, what’s actually driving those intense cravings, and how to turn down the volume on them without cutting out a single food group.

It’s January. The gym is packed and your social media feed is full of “New Year, New You” challenges. Everywhere you look, someone is talking about the diet they’re starting. But if you struggle with binge eating, overeating, or constant food guilt, January dieting often does the opposite of what it promises. Instead of helping you feel calm and in control around food, it usually makes things worse.

For years, I thought being “healthy” meant eating clean, counting calories, and saying no to dessert. But the harder I tried to control food, the more chaotic things became. Building a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to mean restriction or obsession. It can be gentle, flexible, and rooted in self-care rather than control.

When someone as influential as Joe Wicks uses fear to sell a narrative about food, it matters. His recent launch of the so-called “KILLER protein bar” - complete with claims that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) can cause cancer, stroke, diarrhoea or early death - has shifted the conversation from nutrition to panic…

If you’ve ever tried intuitive eating and thought, this is useless, you’re not alone. Intuitive eating can feel impossible in the early stages of recovery. That doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means your body and mind need something different to start your journey of recovery - and yes you might come back to intuitive eating at a later stage.

When you're recovering from binge eating, it's easy to feel unsure about what to eat. In binge eating recovery, your body needs all the macronutrients - protein, fibre, carbohydrates, and fat - to feel nourished, satisfied, and safe. Let's break down why each one matters and how to include them in a way that supports your healing.

Have you ever felt like food takes up way too much headspace? That constant noise in your head isn’t a personal failing, it’s often the result of food rules that seem harmless on the surface but are quietly fuelling your food obsession. Here are five common food rules I see all the time - and what you can do instead to feel more relaxed and balanced around food.

A few years ago, I just wanted to be healthy. I’d had my daughter and was ready to “get back in shape” - but I didn’t want to go on a diet. I’d been there before and knew how unsustainable it was. So I turned to what felt like a healthier option: wellness. It felt like a positive change…

When you're deep in the cycle of binge eating, self-care can feel like a luxury - or even a joke. You might think: “I can’t even get through the day without overeating… how am I supposed to journal or do breathwork?” In many cases, binge recovery can be dramatically improved by regulating your nervous system.

It’s getting harder to stay body positive. Everywhere you look, the pressure to be thin is creeping back in. Influencers who once embraced their curves are now visibly shrinking. Weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are being quietly - or not-so-quietly - promoted as a quick fix for appetite and size. It’s normal to feel shaken by this…

Several years ago, I went through a serious clean eating phase. Everything had to be organic, home-cooked, and free from anything “bad”. I followed strict rules and a “detox” three times a year… It was exhausting!

Food used to be my biggest fear. Or my enemy. Whatever you want to call it, eating was filled with guilt, shame, and a constant feeling of doing it “wrong.” But then I read a handful of books that changed everything…

For years, I was convinced I had a sugar addiction. It felt like sugar had this power over me. Like I was totally addicted. But here’s what I know now, both from my own journey and through years of helping others heal their relationship with food: Sugar isn’t the problem. Restriction is.

Ever felt like you’re stuck in an endless cycle with food? One minute you’re determined to have a healthy day, and the next, after a stressful day at work, you’re on the sofa, gobbling food like there’s no tomorrow. That constant battle, feeling like a “junk food” junk food addict with a food gremlin that never shuts up. Yeah, that.

If you’ve ever tried to stop binge eating, chances are you’ve thought: "Maybe if I eat less, I’ll binge less." I’ve been there. Many of my clients have been there too. It seems logical—eat less during the day, and maybe you’ll prevent overeating later. But here’s the truth: restricting food makes you 12 times more likely to binge.
