If you don't follow Libby, follow her she's super knowledgeable 💛 So, through this, I ended up connecting with Jess and we did a session together.

I’m in a much better place now but I found this such a relaxing practice. I do it right before I go to sleep, and it just calms my maniac brain right down 🤣 And now it’s just part of my routine!In this episode, Jess and I chat about:➡️What breathwork is exactly➡️How it works➡️How it helps manage stress and anxiety➡️Mouth breathing vs nose breathing➡️How much time you need for it➡️The best times to use this technique➡️How to do itHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

Kate Deering is the author of How to Heal Your Metabolism (if you haven’t already, definitely give it a read!). We recommend this book to all of our clients.One of the big key topics in Kate’s book is sugar.Sugar comes with so many misconceptions. Some people think sugar is poison, that it causes cancer, creates inflammation, and more. And I used to think the same thing; I wouldn’t even eat fruit because I was so brainwashed into thinking sugar was bad for me, but I didn’t understand why.So, in this episode, Kate and I get to the bottom of it all. We chat about:➡️The most common misconceptions about sugar➡️What sugar is➡️When it becomes a problem➡️Nutrient-dense forms of sugar➡️The sugar and cancer belief➡️The truth about fructose➡️Why context matters➡️Diabetes, sugar, and stress➡️Why removing nutrient dense sugars comes with a cost➡️Does sugar deplete the body of nutrients?➡️How to re-introduce sugar into your dietAnd more!Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

A lot of women in our program have families and partners. And oftentimes, their partners are sceptical. They’ve seen their wives cycle through so many diets and programs over the years, and so it’s easy to assume that this is just another fad diet which they will give up after a few months or that will get them results but not be sustainable. Yet, this couldn’t be the farthest thing from the truth!So, I decided to sit down with one of these women’s partners. Mick is Lynn Saunders’ husband (Lynn has done amazingly well in our program). He’s seen her go through various diets (at least one a year for 30 years!), so he has heaps of insight into what it’s been like through all of the ups and downs.In this episode, Mick and I chat about:➡️What it was like watching his wife go through all these different diets➡️What he thought when she first started the WinAtLife program➡️What changes he’s noticed in her since she’s joined the program➡️The impact the program has had on their relationship➡️The investment and has it been worth it?➡️The benefits Mick has seen for himself through pro-metabolic eating - he's actually lost 15 kgs just by adopting the nutrition and lifestyle changes Lynn hasHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

[NEW PODCAST🎙] How your beliefs can sabotage your behaviour and what you can do about it with Carol NedovA common thing I see with women when they join our programs is that they come in and they have all the tools, education and support they need but then they self-sabotage. It’s not that they don’t know what to do or they don’t have the support they need. It’s just for whatever reason, they just don’t do it. So, I wanted to have Carol on the podcast to talk about how our beliefs can sabotage our behaviour, and what you can do about it.Carol is actually a client of ours, and she’s become a friend. She contributes a lot to our community and is a psychotherapist, so she knows a lot about this topic.In this episode, Carol and I talk about:➡️How self-sabotage manifests➡️How the stories you tell yourself can either help you blossom or hold you back➡️Ways women self-sabotage➡️How to develop a tolerance for uncomfortable emotions➡️Where these self-sabotage habits arise from➡️How to change your beliefs to stop self-sabotaging➡️Changing who you believe you are and building an improved identity➡️Hitting standards and not goalsHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
