Do you feel satisfied by your life and with how you spend your time? Do you lean on food and alcohol as your main source of pleasure and satisfaction?

The pleasure gap is the distance between the pleasure you feel in your life and the pleasure you want to feel. And when we use food and alcohol and things that give us instant gratification to fill our pleasure gap, we generally widen the gap because they come with negative downstream consequences.

This episode encourages you to acknowledge and understand your pleasure gap, and think about ways to decrease it that truly delight you and make you feel alive.

It was such a privilege to chat with Dr Lucy Hooper about how to identify and navigate perimenopause and menopause, as well discuss the growing world of health screening and how it might help you to age more powerfully.

If you're feeling confused about what it takes to feel good in your body and truly enjoy food again, listen to this episode where I explain the clarity and freedom that the Love How you Eat mission has created for me and my clients.

The diets have distracted us. The culture has disempowered us. It's time to do things differently because you deserve to feel good.

The diets don't work but we need to know why we keep going back to them!

If you've been a chronic dieter and find safety in their construct and familiarity, this episode explains why we like diet rules and how to break free of their unproductive constraints.

I give you four reasons why you want diet rules and share the importance of creating your own eating and drinking protocol based on what makes YOU feel YOUR best.

In this episode, I wanted to talk about my biggest takeaways from 2025 and encourage you to think about yours. I cover the importance of the 50/50 concept and our emotional expectations, why nothing happens without a plan, and explain how to increase your self-belief and sense of self-worth. I talk about breaking free of the social constructs and learnt conditioning that stop you from feeling your best. And explain how to become someone who takes great care of yourself consistently and without condition, and why Love How You Eat is so important to me (and us)!

Thank you for listening to the Love How You Eat podcast this year. I am so grateful for your time and commitment to feeling better and learning to love how you eat and live your life.

Have a beautiful Christmas and I'll see you on the 7th January for more. X

Dr Stephanie Doig is a BRILLIANT Clinical Psychologist specialising in working with anxious children and teens and their families. In this fascinating, helpful and practical conversation, Stephanie explains:

- why there has been an increase in anxious children

- how to recognise whether your child is anxious

- what's "normal" behaviour versus what requires intervention

- how to best navigate tricky moments with your children

- how to support yourself when you haven't parented in the way you'd ideally like

- how her upcoming app (launching in early 2026) can help children and parents to feel better and keep moving forwards

And I also use the example of my second son, Ralph, and his tricky eating, to show how it's not what our kids are doing that's necessarily the problem but what we make it mean about ourselves, and how our mindset is a huge opportunity for parenting in a more supportive and empowered way.
