I coined the term chaotic foods to refer to products that have negative and unexpected effects on the body. In this episode, I chat with nutritional therapist Louise Digby about her take on this topic, as well as sharing some revelations about processed foods that our conversation sparked in me. Discover: *Why diet foods can backfire so badly *Why ultra-processed foods have zero nutritional qualities, but also why they promote overconsumption *Why fat and carbs can be so addictive *Why inflammation is such a problem - not least because of how people view it *How these foods increase food cravings  *Why hormones are a scapegoat for other issues *The effect sugar has on the menstrual cycle *What Louise advises her clients to do re: artificial sweeteners *The power of retraining your tastebuds *Louise's 80/20 nutritional principle   RESOURCES Find out more about Louise at @louisedigbynutrition https://www.louisedigbynutrition.com/ Thriving Metabolism Podcast   Harriet's Avoiding UPF s Experiment https://www.theshiftinside.com/avoid-ultra-processed-foods/   Ultra-Processed People is by Dr Chris Van Tulleken  

Book a call to talk about coaching here:  https://www.theshiftinside.com/coaching/ In this episode, I explore two very different real life type 2 stories. In the first story, we meet Hannah, whose food intake was very much controlled by what I call The Inner Food Rebel. I also interview a client of mine who in 6 weeks has dropped his A1C measure from 58 (well into type 2 territory) to 50 (pre-diabetes) and dropped 6 kilos. Find out how he achieved this. There are four ways that Hannah and my client diverge. Four factors in their respective outcomes: 1: The Role That Food Plays 2: Control 3: All or Nothing vs Moderation 4: Possibly the most important factor of them all. Listen in to find out what it is.

Part one is at https://eatingcoach.libsyn.com/ec-215-adventures-in-living-directly The hidden price of processed foods is that they enable a mindset you long to be free of. Another way in to this topic... Is it possible for any food to stop you living directly - to numb you out and deny yourself a place at the table of really enjoying your time on this planet? Answer: yes and no. See what I mean in this short episode, and learn which belief is enabled by substances such as sugar and other processed foods  Email: info (at) theshiftinside dot com

What's that got to do with food and binge eating, Harriet? Living directly is much more engaging, sustainable approach to health than the traditional problem solving that the whole world has been brainwashed into. It's making old wounds as irrelevant as a cut on your finger. It's saying to life: I can handle the downs as well as the ups. Tune in to this episode and find out more.

Want to get the guided audio to help you make better choices without rousing your Inner Food Rebel? Just email me info @ theshiftinside dot com with the subject line GUT AUDIO Q: What's better than a New Year's Resolution? A: Why, a New Year's REVOLUTION, of course! In this episode, I give you a total 180 degree change in how to approach health change at this most failure-prone time of the year that will revolutionise 2023 if you let it.  The gut is the subject of some rockstar cutting edge research, so why not have the best of both worlds - a huge improvement in your health AND leaving behind struggle? Resolution smacks of push, push, struggle, do penance for your food sins and try to be a completely different person. There are two guiding principles to make superpowering your gut health much easier: #1 Focus on internal health and #2 Fall in love with the changes you need to make. As I explain, this is very different from the shame-based external focus of most people's January 'do better' efforts.
