Today I’m joined by Amy Lee Giannotti, an accredited practising dietitian, and intuitive eating counsellor based in Melbourne, Australia. Having gone through her own person transformation with her relationship with food and exercise, Amy is now passionate about helping others do the same. Amy realised that many of the learnings she had regarding nutrition were steeped in diet culture, and weight stigma and she got sick and tired of prescribing diet plans that didn’t work. Fed up with the status quo, she knew there had to be another way, which is when she started looking into intuitive eating. During this whole process she was also facing the difficult journey of recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea, which she documented and spoke openly about on her Instagram page. She’s not only recovered her period, but is now pregnant and living out her dreams both personally and professionally. In today’s podcast Amy and I are going to be discussing: Her time as a competitive athlete and what her relationship with foo

In this episode of Holistic Health Radio, I’m joined by Dr Rebecca Ray. She is a writer, speaker and clinical psychologist with 15 years' experience specialising in the treatment of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. She knows that the space between knowing something needs to change and actually doing something about it can be tumultuous. Navigating through and stepping outside of your comfort zone can be tempered by fear, overwhelm, frustration, self-doubt and the belief that we are simply not good enough. Yet Rebecca helps her clients calmly overcome these worries so they can turn fears into freedom and move from a state of paralysis to progress. In today’s podcast Rebecca and I discuss: How to live courageously and what that actually means Why we self-sabotage and ways to overcome it Why self-kindness matters and how to show ourselves more every day Follow her on Instagram @drrebeccaray Check out her website here https://rebeccaray.com.au/ If you enjoyed this episode please be sure t

Today I’m joined by author and social worker Jessica Sanders. However, those titles do not do her justice and a more appropriate is ‘social impact entrepreneur’. Jess has a passion for creating resources that nurture positive mental health and promote gender equality. Every project she pursues is born from the question, ‘Why does it have to be this way?’ and her first book, Love Your Body is the perfect example of this.
