Ever picked something up because the packet said "high protein" or "97% fat free" and felt pretty good about it?

In this episode I break down how I actually read a food label, using three real products: a breakfast cereal, a protein bar and a Greek yoghurt, so you can spot when the marketing doesn't match what's really in the pack.

Watch on YouTube or Spotify video to see real products.

Why Keto Gets Results (And Why It Stops Working)

In this episode, I'm breaking down what's going on with keto, why so many women see quick results, and why those results don't always stick.

I'm not here to demonise keto. But I do want you to understand what's really happening in your body, so you can make decisions that work for the way you actually live, not just the way you eat for the next eight weeks.

What we cover:

• What ketosis actually is and why it can produce fast initial results
• Why a lot of that early weight loss is water, not fat
• How your body adapts over time, and why strict elimination diets become harder to maintain
• The psychological cost of removing entire food groups, and why that tends to catch up with people
• What the research actually shows about long-term success (spoiler: it's not about restriction)
• Why protein and fibre matter more than most women realise, for muscle, gut health, and hormones
• How a small, consistent calorie deficit beats a dramatic overhaul every time
• The role stress and real-life circumstances play in fat loss and why the "just stick to it" advice misses the point
• Why a flexible approach that bends with your life will always outlast one that doesn't

Postpartum weight loss is one of the most misunderstood topics in the wellness space and in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why your body behaves the way it does after having a baby, and what you can actually do about it.

We cover the five key hormones at play postpartum — oestrogen, progesterone, prolactin, cortisol, and thyroid — and why each one has a direct influence on how your body holds and releases weight.

In this episode:

• Why what you pair with your carbs matters more than cutting them out entirely
• How building meals around protein, fibre and healthy fats creates more stable blood sugar and why that directly reduces cravings, cortisol spikes and fat storage signals
• Why a piece of toast with eggs hits very differently to toast on its own
• The realistic postpartum weight loss timeline (hint: it's longer than Instagram wants you to believe)
• Why stress and self-criticism actually make weight loss harder — and why giving yourself grace is the most strategic thing you can do
• The simple things that genuinely help: eating enough protein, avoiding a deep calorie deficit especially while breastfeeding, protecting sleep where you can, and keeping blood sugar stable
