Listen "#135: Empowering women to shift from dieting to wellbeing"
Episode Synopsis
If you’re stuck in a cycle of dieting and know it’s time to release yourself from these chains, then take a listen as I chat with Nikki Clarke, a personal trainer and advocate for women to stop dieting.We discuss the importance of building a healthy relationship with food and self-worth, emphasising realistic habits over restrictive diets, digging into what’s holding so many women back from this. Nikki shares his experience of working with midlife women and highlights the need to shift focus from weight loss to overall wellbeing and protecting your future health - something we chat about the difficulty of doing.We unwrap the critical role of nutrition and exercise in women's health, particularly during midlife and menopause and challenge the notion that women must accept menopausal symptoms and linking this to the importance of a proactive approach to health. This one is especially for you if you’re in your 40s or 50s, navigating perimenopause, feeling overwhelmed, and wondering why your usual methods just aren’t working anymore.The key highlights from our conversation are:Why quick-fix diets don’t work in real life – especially in midlife.How to shift your focus from weight loss to how you want to feel.What changes most in your body during menopause and how to support it.How strength training supports longevity and confidence.The power of realistic goals and simple habits that actually fit your life.Why self-worth is the foundation of sustainable health.What to focus on instead of calories and scales.Why long-term habits are more sustainable than quick fixes.About Nikki Clarke:Nikki Clarke has coached 1000s of women over the last 23 years to not only lose weight but get out of the dieting cycle once and for all.
