Episode 171: What’s Missing From Healthy Eating? With Jeffrey Siegel

Have you ever felt like you know what to eat but still struggle to do it consistently?In this Men’s Health Week special, I’m joined by men's wellness coach, Harvard teaching fellow, and author of Eating 2.0, Jeffrey Siegel. Together, we explore why healthy eating isn’t simply about willpower, meal plans, or finding the "perfect" diet. Jeff shares his personal journey from disordered eating as a teenager to helping men reconnect with their bodies and build a healthier relationship with food. We discuss the impact of our modern food environment, the challenges of ultra-processed foods, and why so many people feel disconnected from their hunger, satisfaction, and body wisdom.You’ll also learn about Jeff’s fascinating concept of the "family of eaters"—the different internal drivers that influence our food choices—and how curiosity, rather than judgement, can help create lasting change.Whether you're navigating your own relationship with food or supporting a partner, family member, or friend, this conversation offers practical insights and a refreshing perspective on eating well without restriction, guilt, or another diet.Why healthy eating is about more than food choicesMen's unique challenges with food and body imageThe hidden impact of the ultra-processed worldWhy diets and willpower often failRebuilding trust with your bodyThe four "inner eaters" that drive food choicesHow mindfulness and curiosity support sustainable changeWhy understanding your relationship with food matters more than following rulesConnect with Jeff Siegel: 🌿 Website: https://jeffsiegelwellness.com/🌿 Inner Eaters Quiz🌿 YouTube Connect with Sallyanne: 🌿 Book a complimentary Mindful Eating Strategy Call 🌿⁠ FREE 5 Steps To A New Way Of Eating⁠🌿 Explore resources, podcasts, and programs at Eating for You:  https://eatingforyou.com.au/your-health-hub/
