I'm Lauren Coleman, a nutritionist and personal trainer based in Aotearoa.
My mission is to help people improve their health and wellbeing by making changes to their lifestyle in a simple, sustainable way.
It can be really difficult to know what to eat and what to do when it feels like we're being bombarded with information everywhere we go... The scary thing is that a lot of what we're being told we should be doing isn't actually true either.
I'm here to help you navigate the nuance, break down myths and misconceptions, and improve your wellbeing with self-compassion above all else.
The 2010s Body Positivity movement gave way to the Anti-Diet movement - which told us that dieting was a waste of time and contributed to harmful beauty standards and led people down the road of disordered eating.
But there are some hypocrisies in the anti-diet space which rarely get addressed, and also, is it really so bad to want to lose a little bit of weight to feel more confident?
In this episode I tackle the complex topic of working through the guilt of wanting to lose weight, but feeling like you're doing a disservice to your relationship with food and body image. Is there a way to do both - or are you always sacrificing one by persuing the other?

Skinny-Tok is worse than you realise it is
I stumbled across a Skinny-Tok creator recently and was shocked by how much praise and support she was getting.
In today's episode, I talk about why Skinny-Tok is so much more insidious than we might realise - including:
-Why Skinny-Tok doesn't help people adopt a healthy lifestyle
-Why Skinny-Tok creators themselves are most likely not healthy or confident
-Why 'obesity statistics' are not a good rationale for Skinny-Tok creators to use
