Why smart people still feel overwhelmed around food.

This comes up in conversations more than you’d expect - food overwhelm!

People who are intelligent, organised, successful in so many areas of life… yet food feels oddly stressful.

There’s just so much noise around it.

Macros. Calories. Fasting. Gut health. Hormones. “Eat this, not that.”

And somehow we’re meant to turn all of that into three calm meals a day while living real lives.

So food stops being simple.

It becomes something you overthink.

What makes it harder is that there’s no single way of eating that works for everyone - even though the internet loves to suggest there is.

Some people are cooking for big families.

Some are single and eating alone most nights.

Some love cooking, some resent it.

Some are vegan.

Some have allergies or intolerances.

Some come from strong cultural food traditions they don’t want to give up.

Some want to lose weight.

Some want to gain it.

Others honestly don’t care what the scale says, they just want to feel healthy and at ease in their bodies.

Different bodies.

Different lives.

Different needs.

Trying to force all of that into one rigid “plan” is where the overwhelm creeps in.

The work is less about finding the perfect way to eat… and more about finding YOUR way - something that fits your body, your preferences, your lifestyle and the season of life you’re in.

When eating starts to support your life instead of adding pressure to it, it's just easier, right?

That’s the kind of support I focus on in my 1:1 online wellness coaching - realistic, personalised, and designed to work in real life, not an ideal one.
