“Food was just that mechanism like what you're saying to give you whatever it was I needed, whether it was a positive reward and response, or whether it was something to soothe and comfort and make me feel better. And it's really hard when you're in that to see the damage that that's doing, isn't it? ”

— Nicola Farndell

“I think the biggest thing that women struggle with is that we're always waiting to feel ready or we're always waiting for the perfect moment. We know that life just isn't like that. So embrace the messiness, embrace the obstacles that you're going to come across because they're going to be there.”

— Naomi Holbrook

Our guest today is sharing how her journey to better health was a far from conventional one and why this experience has led to her now helping other women to take an unconventional but very effective approach to weight loss. Naomi Holbrook shares how she transformed her health from being clinically obese and pre-diabetic to being healthier and happier than ever before. She discusses the importance of movement and intentional exercise, as well as making simple changes to her diet. We explore why it’s important to address the internal emotional and mental aspects of health in addition to the physical.

Listen in to be encouraged to take action, embrace the messiness of change, and focus on what you are gaining rather than what you are giving up.

In our conversation we talk about:

  • Addressing the emotional and mental aspects of health for sustainable transformation.

  • Why you need to stop waiting for the perfect moment and take action now towards your health goals.

  • Educating yourself about health and understanding the reasons behind your habits and behaviours.

  • Focusing on what you are gaining rather than what you are giving up.

  • The power of small steps and consistent progress for long-term results.

  • The importance of any type of movement for strong physical and mental health.

  • The impact of making simple changes to your diet on your overall well-being such as cooking homemade meals and staying hydrated.

  • Naomi’s top 3 tips to improve your health and build sustainable habits to manage your weight.
