   Episode 185: How to Stay Healthy Through the Seasons | Chinese Medicine & the Five Elements

   Do you expect yourself to eat, move and live the same way every day of the year? Our needs aren't static. They change with the seasons, our activity, our energy, our age and what's happening in our lives. In this episode, Chinese Medicine practitioner Tania Grasseschi returns to explore the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water—and how they can help us understand and respond to change. Together, we travel through spring, summer, late summer, autumn and winter, exploring what each season can teach us about food, movement, rest, connection and nourishment. You'll hear why spring encourages flexibility and new beginnings, summer invites connection, Earth brings us back to nourishment and grounding, autumn reminds us to let go, and winter gives us permission to rest and restore. We also explore an important meeting point between Chinese Medicine and the Eating for You approach: this isn't about replacing one rigid health plan with another. It's about becoming more aware of what you need and learning to adapt. Because perhaps healthy living isn't about finding the perfect routine and sticking to it forever. It may be about becoming better at noticing when your needs have changed. If you'd like to explore any of the Five Elements in greater detail, you'll find YouTube links to our previous seasonal conversations here or you can tune in on your favourite podcast platform: Spring: Episode 143 Chinese Medicine Secrets for Spring: Mindful Eating, Movement, and Balance https://youtu.be/c2Hj1aaPMls Summer: Episode 153 Healthy Summer Eating: Chinese Medicine Tips To Stay Cool, Nourished And Off Diets https://youtu.be/GOyxfU9LNTY Autumn: Episode 162 Autumn Is the Best Time to Strengthen Your Immune System https://youtu.be/Wxh_1eh0SlY Winter: Episode 172 How to Stay Healthy This Winter (Eating Comfort Food) https://youtu.be/UPml8Ol_Ioc Earth: Episode 176 Is your digestion trying to tell you something? https://youtu.be/SoBLDG5lliM A pictorial overview of how the Five Elements work together which is available on the Eating for You Website: https://eatingforyou.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Five-Elements-.pdf For Tania’s resources: Spring workshop: https://www.orientalwisdom.com.au/workshops/ E-books: https://www.orientalwisdom.com.au/shop/ Next week, I'll continue this conversation about change with a personal episode for World Menopause Day, reflecting on my own transition through peri-menopause and menopause and how it often wasn’t what I had expected!

   Episode 184: Why You Feel Out of Control With Food (And What to Do Instead)

   Do you ever feel out of control around certain foods? We often believe that restricting chocolate, chips, cake, bread or other favourite foods will help us eat less of them. But restriction can make a food feel even more important — leading to cravings, bargaining, guilt and that familiar thought: “I’ve blown it. I’ll start again tomorrow.” In this episode of the Eating for You Podcast, I explore why giving yourself permission to eat can actually help you make healthier, more satisfying choices. I share my own experience of trying to control chocolate and potato crisps, along with stories from women I’ve worked with who discovered what changed when they stopped labelling foods as good or bad. You’ll discover: The important difference between medically necessary food restrictions and restrictive food rules Why forbidden foods can become even more appealing Why permission doesn’t mean eating whatever you want, whenever you want How removing guilt and judgement can create space for choice Questions to help you identify the food rules that may no longer be serving you And I’ll invite you to think about one food you don’t completely trust yourself around — not to change anything yet, but simply to become curious about the rules you have attached to it. Because sometimes creating a healthier way of eating isn’t about adding another food rule. It’s about discovering which rules no longer work for you. If you recognise a cycle of restriction, overeating and starting again, book a complimentary Mindful Eating Strategy Call with me. We can explore what’s happening with your eating and whether mindful eating could help you create a healthier and more peaceful relationship with food. ☎️ You can book here (https://eatingforyou.com.au/free-call) 💛 And for more support, subscribe to the Eating for You Podcast and join our free weekly Nourishment Newsletter here.

   Episode 183: Does Mindful Eating Really Work? | Real Women’s Stories

   Does mindful eating really work — or is it simply another eating technique that sounds good in theory? Perhaps you’ve tried slowing down, removing distractions or noticing your hunger and fullness, but didn’t feel that anything really changed. In this episode, I explore why mindful eating is much more than paying attention to your food — and why the better question may be: what are you expecting mindful eating to do? Drawing on research, my own experience and the stories of women I’ve worked with, I explore three important shifts that take you from controlling your eating to creating a personalised way of eating that is right for you. You’ll hear the experiences of Anne, Annette, Judy, Gayle and Valerie — women with very different eating histories, health needs and lifestyles — and how mindful eating helped each of them in different ways. And if you’ve tried mindful eating before and thought, “It didn’t work for me,” I explore another possibility: perhaps it wasn’t given the time, support or personalised approach needed to create meaningful change. If mindful eating feels like it could help you, but you’d like support working out where to start, book a complimentary Mindful Eating Strategy Call with Sallyanne to learn more about the Foundations Mindful Eating Program. ☎️ Book Here (https://eatingforyou.com.au/free-call) 📖 A great place to start to understand your eating is our FREE 3-day mindful eating journal, which you can download here: https://eatingforyou.com.au/mindful-eating-journal/ (https://eatingforyou.com.au/mindful-eating-journal/) 🎧 Subscribe to The Eating for You Podcast for practical, evidence-based conversations about creating a healthier relationship with food — without more diets, guilt or rigid food rules.
