Does your relationship with food feel more complicated than it probably should?

Why does body image feel so fragile—especially in midlife?
And why, oh why, do the "perfect" plans never seem to work?

In this week's episode of Menomorphosis, I'm joined by Elizabeth Dall, certified women's nutrition and behaviour change coach, to untangle the messy relationship many of us have with food and our bodies—especially during midlife and menopause.

Elizabeth shares her personal journey from personal trainer to behaviour change specialist, revealing why willpower and rigid plans so often fail, and how to finally move toward food freedom, body acceptance, and real self-nourishment.

💡 What you'll learn in this episode:

Why “perfect” nutrition plans fail—even when you really want to stick to them
The diet cycle: how it traps you, and how to step out of it with compassion
The 3 types of body comparison keeping women stuck—and how to break free
How to shift your focus from how your body looks to what it can do
What intuitive eating actually means (and how to begin with just one meal)
A simple 3-step approach to understanding emotional eating—without guilt
Why creating boundaries (not rules) helps you feel safe around food
How to gently rewire old patterns and reconnect to your body’s wisdom
The power of movement as a way to honour your body—not punish it

Elizabeth’s wisdom is both deeply practical and beautifully empowering. If you’ve been at war with food, your body, or yourself—this is your invitation to try something different.

🌿 “Your body is good. It does good things. It doesn’t need more punishment—it needs more nurturing.” – Elizabeth Dall
