Understanding Food Choices Beyond 'Picky Eating'

"Because the reality is far more complex and often involves underlying medical, sensory or developmental factors. For many individuals, food decisions are influenced by a variety of medical conditions that affect not just what they eat, but how and when they eat too. These choices are sometimes driven by a need to manage physical or emotional symptoms.

To truly understand someone’s food and eating choices, it's important to look at the broader picture. It's important to be curious about what else their body may be managing in the background. Medical and mental health conditions, from chronic pain to anxiety, can significantly alter eating patterns."

The has come so much soon than I had expected… We are Leaving Town in about 4 short weeks! (I thought we had closer to 4 years!)

I know, so fast! I feel like I am only just halfway through all the projects I wanted to get done here.
I haven’t got a pack the house date yet, so I don’t have an exact last day of work but I will let you know asap!

I am very happy to work right up to the last minute and I will add extra appointments on Fridays - Just text me!

While we are super excited to be closer to family again! I cannot express how Sad I am as I LOVE THIS TOWN so so so much. It has embraced me every time I left and came home meeting me exactly where I am and growing me in new ways. Always new and yet so aching familiar and a sense of HOME.

The red dirt and the heat will forever live in my soul. I am who I am because of this town and because of the amazing passionate beautiful souls that have found their way to the Heart of Australia who I get to call friends if and really feel like they are family.

Thank you so so so much for your trust and friendship and supporting my little business. I am going to miss you all so deeply!

I will have a list of folks who will take care of your body both with massage and Pilates and don’t forget I am just down the road! By the ocean so please come and visit. We are heading to Geelong - and No I am not switching footy teams!!! LOL

All my Love Julia, Link and Hugo xx

Yesterday, I was in a health food store and watched a woman drop £200 on supplements.

She had a STACK.

Fat burners. BCAAs. Collagen. Protein powder.

The works.

“I need these to get started,” she told the lad on the checkout.

And that right there is the problem.

Everyone wants to focus on the flashy 1% while ignoring the basic 99%.

In my time as a coach, I’ve seen it all:

£300/month small group PT memberships (barely used).

£150/week meal prep services (mostly getting binned).

£80 “detox” programmes (completely useless).

But my most successful clients?

Most of the time they have spunked their money on everything I just mentioned, saw no improvement and are ready to change their approach.

We then master the boring stuff.

We start by figuring out why they’re gaining weight.

Emotional eating? Snacking? Weekend syndrome?

Then we focus on being consistent with the stuff that actually moves the needle.

Well-balanced meals. Tuning into hunger. Walking daily. Managing stress.

No magic pills. No gimmicks.

Just fundamentals, habits, and results.

Because real transformation doesn’t come in a holographic tub with a ridiculous name.

It comes from showing up. Day after day. Doing the simple things that actually work.

(That chick with the supplements? She’ll still be at square one a month from now… But hey, at least her p*e is expensive.)

Want to finally see some progress in a way that won’t cost you a penny?

Join the Your First LB one week challenge that’ll be running from Saturday 22nd-Saturday 1st.
