Balance That!

If there is an episode you are going to listen to - let it be this! Our season 1 finale. Today I am going to share the ACTUAL truth behind healing your relationship with your mind, body and food based on my own experiences and also, to what I have witnessed with my clients. I firstly just want to pop in a bit of trigger warning for anyone who experiences sensitivity to any disordered eating, or eating disorder conversations. With all my love - please pause the episode and honour your own boundaries. You can always come back later ❤️ The purpose of this conversation is to share an insight into the truth behind someone you may look to online who now has a solid relationship to food and exercise, and how I got there in my own experience. To get your mind ticking in different ways on your own journey, and to shine light on perhaps your own strengths that you may not even notice, and to even plot light on areas you might want to strengthen in your relationship with food. If you want to achieve sustainable results, and true enjoyment of your health and well-being, this part of your journey is essential! MAIN TOPIC TIME STAMPS: [5min 20sec] Why is it actually important? [12min 25sec] Why am I passionate about it and what is the truth to my story? [46min] Audit questions to check in with yourself to see if your relationship with food and exercise is and where you would like them to be. Head to ⁠BBN on Instagram⁠ to gain further insight too!

A protein-rich breakfast? Yes/no? As we know, it’s the macro that's hyped up enough in the health industry. It’s probably got a big head and it’s placed first on the pedestal many of times. But why? This episode has been drawn from a common question I get from my clients and friends. All of which are active individuals who have a good baseline understanding of nutrition. Which emphasises to me that even as active individuals we can hear the importance, but with true understanding the application of the knowledge will not pull through with the action required to reap its benefits. So during the episode, we go into the WHY and tangible examples. Head to BBN on Instagram to gain further insight too!

Have you ever wondered how many meals “should” I actually have in a day? Or you look at your friend, or partner, and wonder - how don't you snack?! Or do they snack all throughout the day??

On today's episode, we answer those overwhelming questions together. We are going to run through it all by giving you guys two key focus points to consider, and questions to prompt you in coming to your own answer!!

The energy balance equation - a focal point in the nutrition and health realm! In today's episode, we discuss: Is as simple as energy in v.s energy out? Why do you maintain, gain, or lose body mass? What is involved on either side of the equation Factors you can consider when looking to change either sides. As mentioned in the episode, when looking at changing and adapting your energy balance, I always recommend seeking support from a professional in the field. Doing so will not only ensure you support your body physically, but also mentally. Trust me when I say, it can be a bit of a mind game trying to figure out alone. You know where to find me if that 1:1 support is required alongside many other incredible credible professionals in the industry! I would love to hear more about what you took from this episode!
