Episode 15 – Looking After Yourself: Mind, Body & Eating Well

In this episode, Maxine talks openly about looking after yourself both mentally and physically. She shares her experience of taking part in Dry January, what she’s learnt about alcohol, balance, and knowing your limits, and why awareness matters more than restriction. The conversation also focuses on nourishing your body with regular, sensible meals, ditching the guilt around food, and why starving yourself doesn’t support long-term health or weight loss. We explore balanced eating, portion awareness, cutting back on sugar, filling up on fruit and vegetables, and allowing the occasional treat — all with kindness, not punishment. A gentle, honest episode about building a healthier lifestyle that actually lasts.
