In this special episode, the tables are turned as Dr. Joanna North is interviewed by former guest Dr. Sara Riley. Together, they explore Jo’s personal journey with weight management and how Time Related Eating transformed her relationship with food.

This episode offers a preview of the ideas behind Jo’s upcoming book, Foodsane, which explores her compassionate and science-backed approach to eating well — without obsession.

Jo shares how shifting her focus away from diets and calorie counting helped her escape the cycle of frustration and guilt — and instead, rediscover the freedom and joy of eating mindfully. She explains how aligning eating habits with natural rhythms allowed her to take better care of both her body and mind.
