I coined the term chaotic foods to refer to products that have negative and unexpected effects on the body. In this episode, I chat with nutritional therapist Louise Digby about her take on this topic, as well as sharing some revelations about processed foods that our conversation sparked in me. Discover: *Why diet foods can backfire so badly *Why ultra-processed foods have zero nutritional qualities, but also why they promote overconsumption *Why fat and carbs can be so addictive *Why inflammation is such a problem - not least because of how people view it *How these foods increase food cravings *Why hormones are a scapegoat for other issues *The effect sugar has on the menstrual cycle *What Louise advises her clients to do re: artificial sweeteners *The power of retraining your tastebuds *Louise’s 80/20 nutritional principle RESOURCES Find out more about Louise at @louisedigbynutrition https://www.louisedigbynutrition.com/ Thriving Metabolism Podcast Harriet's Avoiding UPF s Experiment https://www.theshiftinside.com/avoid-ultra-processed-foods/ Ultra-Processed People is by Dr Chris Van Tulleken

EC222: Real Life Type 2 Diabetes Stories
Book a call to talk about coaching here: https://www.theshiftinside.com/coaching/ In this episode, I explore two very different real life type 2 stories. In the first story, we meet Hannah, whose food intake was very much controlled by what I call The Inner Food Rebel. I also interview a client of mine who in 6 weeks has dropped his A1C measure from 58 (well into type 2 territory) to 50 (pre-diabetes) and dropped 6 kilos. Find out how he achieved this. There are four ways that Hannah and my client diverge. Four factors in their respective outcomes: 1: The Role That Food Plays 2: Control 3: All or Nothing vs Moderation 4: Possibly the most important factor of them all. Listen in to find out what it is.
