Podcast Overview

This podcast is for women who feel like they're doing everything right — and still not seeing results. I'm Helena, an Accredited Practising Dietitian, and I help women stop chasing diets that don't work and start building the last approach to food and fitness they'll ever need. You'll learn how to get your energy back, support your gut health, stop the cravings and food noise, and work with your hormones instead of against them — so you can finally see the results you've been working for. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, PCOS, postpartum, or a weight loss journey — or you just want to feel more confident in your body again — you're in the right place. Let's cut through the noise and build something sustainable, so you can feel your best, and actually enjoy the process.

The most useless new wellness product, and everything else in my notes app

This is like a Q&A style episode, except it's just from my notes app. I'm constantly jotting down misinformation I've seen or heard, things that have come up with clients and great questions from my DMs, so this is a mixed bag of topics, including: <ul class= "[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The least necessary carbohydrate gel </li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why treating your gut might be a very expensive distraction</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Is low fat dairy actually worse for you?</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Your body doesn't actually know you're deliberately fasting</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The worst pre-workout snack</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Is water enough to rehydrate you?</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Don't just rely on one protein source in your meals</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Free calcium calculator <a href= "https://www.osteoporosis.foundation/educational-hub/topic/calcium-calculator"> click here</a></li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">No one cares how you eat</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Does vitamin C stop you getting sick?</li> </ul> If you'd like more personalised support with this, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram at @nutritionbyhelena - I offer individual consults and coaching packages.

Why can't I just stick to a diet? With psychologist Glenn Mackintosh

If you've ever lost weight, gained it back, and wondered what's wrong with you — this episode is for you. I'm joined by Glenn Mackintosh, a psychologist who specialises in helping people with their relationship with food, their body, and their weight. We talk about why knowing what to eat is rarely the actual problem, and what's really going on when you can't seem to make it stick. In this episode: <ul class= "[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why it's not your fault that diets haven't worked</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">How to want to change your body and feel okay in it at the same time</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">When to see a psychologist vs a dietitian</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why you might be chasing weight loss when what you actually want is something else entirely</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">What to do if you've tried everything and keep ending up back at the start</li> </ul> Glenn's links: <ul class= "[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><a class= "underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href="https://www.weightmanagementpsychology.com.au/">Weight Management Psychology Clinic</a></li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><a class= "underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href= "https://programs.glennmackintosh.com/transformation-support-community"> Transformation Support Community</a></li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><a class= "underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href= "https://www.weightmanagementpsychology.com.au/the-missing-piece-ebook/"> Free eBook — The Missing Piece</a></li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><a class= "underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href= "https://www.weightmanagementpsychology.com.au/psychological-profile-for-weight-management/"> Mindset Questionnaire</a></li> </ul> If you'd like more personalised support with this, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram at @nutritionbyhelena If you want a done for you plan without the coaching commitment, come <a href= "https://helena-mcdonald-3e4c.mykajabi.com/30-day-balanced-body-reset-1?preview_theme_id=2163445702"> Join the Community: The Balanced Body Reset</a>

Do You Have to Eat Before You Train? How I Fuelled for a 14.4km Fun Run

A man stopped me in the supermarket the night before Run for the Kids to warn me about the importance of reading food labels. What he didn't know is that I was deliberately looking for a processed product with added sugar - and it was exactly the right choice for what I needed that day. In this episode I use my own race day fuelling to talk through pre and post training nutrition, caffeine, fasted exercise, and why what is considered healthy always depends on context. If you'd like more personalised support with your own training nutrition, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram at <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/nutrition.by.helena/">@nutritionbyhelena </a> If you want a self-led program with more information like this, join the <a href= "https://helena-mcdonald-3e4c.mykajabi.com/30-day-balanced-body-reset-1?preview_theme_id=2163445702">The Balanced Body Reset</a>
