I don’t even like using the word diet as it immediately brings thoughts of restriction

What we eat and why is a way of life and that can either support your health or destroy it

Been there, done that

And to be totally honest this is a bit of a confession…

See only a little while back every time I was about to complete a work task or finish a project I’d find myself mindlessly rummaging through the kitchen cupboards or going straight for the fridge door to check what yum stuff I can find in there

I’d literally go for anything salty or crunchy I could find, take it back to my desk, finish the whole thing and then attempt to complete what I was doing

By that point frustration and anger started creeping it

I was angry and frustrated with myself (obviously) for being out of control of my cravings

And more often than not, those emotions would overwhelm me so much so I could not finish my tasks and projects

And then I would feel ashamed of myself, as I thought I should know better

It was almost like one part of me knew exactly what she should be doing

Yet another was like a wrecking ball, crushing every single ounce of my willpower

And it wasn’t until I realised what was truly going on for me that I could start understanding how to put a stop to those mindless urges

The thing is, there could be so many reasons that we attempt to find for our mindless eating

Yet I can tell you this with 100% confidence – lack of willpower is not your problem here!

It’s how your body and mind do or do not work together

Over the years of working on my own urges and those of countless of our female clients

I realised that no matter how much we try to dress it up

What it really comes down to is fear of failure or fear of success

Either way, they’re both just a version of our fear of judgment

We don’t want to be judged for what we feel is our failure and equally we’re scared of what people would think if we’re successful

Therefore we seek comfort in food that deep down we know we don’t need and shouldn’t be eating

Can you see how a ‘diet’ or an exercise plan just won’t cut it?

Not much will change unless we understand what’s really driving that food devil that lives on your shoulder

I don’t know what you have going on this month but as Cliff and I are putting together this epic workshop helping women silence that food devil, we’d love to help you with that, like we’ve helped so many other women.

Send me a DM if you’re up for that so we can speak more about it!

Oh, and stop cravings and binge eating.

No, it’s not a tactic or strategy in your business, heck it’s not even blue light blocking glasses.

It’s balancing your blood 🩸 glucose levels.

Do you know.

Blood glucose regulates your mood, energy, hunger, sleep and much more?

It sounds too simple to be true but I see it with so many women we work with.

They have poor glucose management and think it’s symptoms of thinks like ADD for instance.

I’ll save you the biochemistry lesson, yet I’d love to share this with you.

1. High blood glucose levels will fuel low level inflammtion over time that will imbalance things like gut function, the immune system and mood.

Leading to what feels like uncontrollable binges.

2. Low blood glucose will trigger anxiety and panic.

Making those feelings of being overwhelmed more intense.

3. Swinging from high to low blood glucose (reactive hypoglycaemia) will have you chasing stimulants to pick you up & quick fixes to address the anxiety.

Think of the morning coffee, the biscuits throughout the day or late night fridge affair.

I specialise in human biochemistry and how it regulates human performance, yet sadly the bio hacking industry just sells quick fixes and over priced, poor quality supplements for the most part.

Save yourself a fortune by just getting the above right.

The steps.

Do a blood glucose tolerance test.

Test fasted blood glucose upon waking.

(Then drink solution of glucose)

Test after 20 mins, 40 mins, 60mins, 90 mins and 120 minutes.

This will show you a pattern.

You will be one of three outcomes.

– You ingest glucose, your levels shoot up and don’t come back down to fasted range. Not good.

– You go up and then come jack down progressively to fasted level after 2 hours (this is good)

– You go up, sink low in the middle and then it raises a little again. Not good.

These results tell you how you would set up your food, exercise & sleep to start without the expensive testing and supplements.

Honestly if most people controlled the above their mood & energy would be a tonne more consistent.

And binge eating a thing of the past

If you learnt something from this and struggle with emotional and binge eating,

You’ll love our workshop we are doing next week.
