17. A Conversation about Emotional Eating, with Matty Lansdown

Matty Lansdown is a scientist, Nutritionist and an Emotional Eating and Self Sabotage coach that specialises in weight loss and self confidence for women and busy mother’s. Starting out in the field of nutritional epigenetics and spending several years working in hospitals as part of a disease research team, Matty believes that most disease and illness is not due to bad luck but as a result of poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. Matty’s extensive experience allowed him to uncover the deeper challenge people have with health which isn’t about calories or kale, but in fact mindset and behaviour change. Having been on his own personal development journey, Matty is now super-passionate about showing people how to level up their health so that healthy habits and the best food choices are easy and natural. In this episode, Matty shares: His introduction into the health world and how he learnt about nutrition growing up as an athletic child. His journey of studying forensic science and graduating as a molecular biologist. Working as part of a cancer research team and why it led him on a journey into natural health. His discovery about cancer that led him to wanting to focus on nutrition. The link between our relationship to food and our relationship to ourself and the impact that has upon our health. Why it’s time to question the inherited ideas that we’ve never really thought about. Learning to prioritise yourself. Setting the standard for how people treat you. The importance of finding a group of people that support and uplift you. One of the keys to sustainable change and how to integrate it into your life. The link between emotional eating and other addictive tendencies. How having a larger emotional vocabulary supports with progress when moving away from emotional eating. Taking the pressure off yourself. And so much more! Learn more about Matty via his website https://mattylansdown.com/.
