💉Intrigued by the buzz around weight loss injections? Episode 71 of the Far 2 Fabulous podcast takes a deep dive into these medications, originally for type 2 diabetes but now widely used for weight loss, even without clinical obesity. Julie Clark Nutrition and I unpack how they work – stimulating insulin and slowing digestion – and the potential downsides, like reduced appetite leading to malnutrition and muscle loss if you're not mindful of nutrient-dense foods. We also discuss the risk of pancreatic inflammation and how, without addressing the root causes of weight gain, results can be temporary. Plus, we touch on the mental health aspects and the importance of nutrition and strength training for those using these treatments. Have you had a listen to this insightful episode?

"Are you constantly battling those nagging feelings of guilt and shame when it comes to your health goals? It's Monday morning, and you've laid out your activewear, determined this week will be different. But by 9 pm, you're flopped on the sofa, wine in hand, wondering where your willpower went. Sound familiar? You've been sold the idea that the answer is external – more willpower, calorie deficits, another 'shred'. But what if the real block isn't your lack of willpower, but a deeper fear of failing again? Or perhaps you're programmed to put everyone else's needs before your own? Trying to lose weight without tackling your subconscious is like fixing a leaky pipe with a plaster! If you're done beating yourself up over failed diets and are ready for an approach that actually works for you, DM me 'INTERESTED'. It's time to get in the driving seat of your well-being.
✨ Ready to feel fabulous again? ✨ 8 weeks might not seem like a lot of time AND it's enough to make a life-changing difference! The crazy thing? 🧘♀️Getting your mojo back doesn't require you to live like a monk or do anything bonkers! 🤪I'd bet you've tried more drastic stuff than what these lovely ladies have done to feel brilliant again... ...🥬Cabbage soup diet, fasting, Insanity exercise classes🥵 to name just a few (I know your nodding!) The fabulous women I've worked with: ❌ Didn't have to flog themselves with endless diets or punishing exercise. ❌ Didn't have to beat themselves up for not being "perfect". ❌ Didn't have to feel guilty for wanting to put themselves first for once. ❌ Didn't have to sacrifice their sanity to feel a bit more like themselves. They DID however... ✅ Gently explore what truly nourishes their body and mind, in a way that actually sticks without feeling like a massive effort. ✅ Start to enjoy feeling better! Imagine that – a process that isn't all struggle. ✅ Have someone (that's me!) who genuinely cares about them rediscovering their oomph, guiding them with what they need, not some rigid, one-size-fits-all nonsense. 🥰My absolute favourite bit? It's not just that they're feeling more energetic and less frazzled (although that's pretty fab). It's how they FEEL in themselves now they're actually looking after number one. Honestly, that's where the real magic happens. Picture feeling calmer, more in control, and just… brighter, because you're finally giving yourself what you need. Sounds good, eh?🥰 Soon, I'll be sharing a special opportunity for a small group of women who are ready to ditch the overwhelm and start properly owning their vitality without having to turn their lives upside down (unless they want to!!!) If this post even slightly resonates ➡️ Message me the word 'INTERESTED' and I'll send you the details before anyone else. Let's get you feeling amazing! ✨
She was so busy looking after everyone elses needs (children, elderly parents, job, house, endless ttd list...) there was NEVER any time left for her. She’d tried all the diets and health hacks and nothing worked for her. 🥴Get up earlier 🥴Workout more/harder 🥴Eat less calories Which felt impossible when already running on empty! Well if that‘s the one size fits all solution, we’d all look like Kate Moss - right!? The reason this didn't work was... she was trying to add more to an already full plate, without addressing the underlying feelings of overwhelm and the ingrained habit of putting herself last. What Jayne really needed was… ➡️To address the subconscious beliefs that kept her stuck in this cycle. ➡️To rediscover the energy and confidence that comes from moving & strengthening her body. ➡️ To learn how to prioritise her own wellbeing in a fun, efficient way and without guilt. Then, and only then, could she start to feel truly in control and vibrant again. And that's exactly what she found inside my 5-pillar group programme: subconscious transformation, movement, community. Reclaim your energy & joy without guilt. Together, we addressed the root causes that prevented her from doing what she knew she should be doing! Helped her build a strong body and changed her mindset around self-priority. And now? Now Jayne is feeling more energetic, less anxious, and finally prioritising her own wellbeing with confidence. So much so friends are commenting on how incredible she looks as she walks in the room! Are you ready to stop the groundhog day of overwhelm and futile diet and exercise fads and redescover your VA VA VOOM? If you've read this far and want to learn how this programme can help you, simply DM me the word 'VITALITY' and I'll send you some information xx
Far 2 Fabulous Podcast Food Fraud: How Ultra-Processed Foods Are Silently Changing Your Body: Episode 66 The food landscape has dramatically shifted in recent decades, with a staggering 80% of UK shopping trolleys now filled with processed items. This transformation has happened so quickly that many of us haven't noticed our creeping dependence on foods that barely resemble what our grandparents would recognise as nourishment. Julie Clark Nutrition and I dive deep into the world of ultra-processed foods, cutting through marketing hype to examine what's really happening to our bodies when we consume these convenient but potentially harmful products. They break down Dr. Chris van Tulleken's definition of ultra-processed foods – those packaged items containing ingredients you wouldn't typically find in a domestic kitchen – and explore why these unfamiliar substances create what amounts to an "emergency situation" within our digestive systems. 👉👂https://www.catherinechapman.co.uk/far2fabulous/ 🔗Link in bio 💞COME AND JOIN THE FAR 2 FABULOUS COMMUNITY HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/245830221821495

EPISODE 65 Guest Episode with Lindsay Dalton. What if everything you've been taught about your body's cycles is missing the most important truth? What if the changes you experience throughout your life - from first period to menopause - aren't random inconveniences but a sophisticated map to your own power? Lindsay Dalton, founder of Where The Wild Women Are joins me and Julie Clark Nutrition this week to take us on a journey through the wisdom of cyclical living that modern society has disconnected us from. Perhaps most powerfully, Lindsay reframes menopause not as an ending but an evolution into wisdom and authenticity. As estrogen decreases, so too does our biological drive to please others - allowing many women to finally reclaim parts of themselves they set aside decades earlier. This explains why so many women in their 50s and beyond suddenly find themselves signing up for choirs, returning to childhood passions, and speaking truths they've held back. There are so many takeaway and moments that you will be nodding in agreement! 👉👂https://www.catherinechapman.co.uk/far2fabulous/ 🔗Link in bio 💞COME AND JOIN THE FAR 2 FABULOUS COMMUNITY HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/245830221821495
