She highlights research published in The Times this week showing that overworking is directly linked to weight gain, making the case that time poverty is not just a lifestyle inconvenience but a root cause of dysregulated eating. 

Jo pauses to invite listeners to slow their breathing with her during the episode, a simple reminder that telling your body you are safe takes less than a minute. She then shares one of her own repeated mistakes, falling for packaging that made a focaccia look wholesome when it caused a significant sugar spike, and discusses how to recover from these moments with reflection rather than shame. 

Finally she explores identity shift as an anchor for lasting change, and why seeing yourself as a Time Related Eater rather than someone who always has to diet changes the game entirely.

Jo moves on to the relationship between mind and body, and why even when the mind argues, the body knows what is best, but only if you practise and work at Time Related Eating long enough to hear what it is telling you. 

And she closes with a reflection on boundaries, exploring how the assertiveness needed to say a firm no to food outside your window is the same skill that strengthens every other area of your life. Time Related Eating doesn't just teach you to eat well, it teaches you to draw boundaries, say no when you need to and say a joyful yes when the moment is right.

Lucy has been a time-related eater for even longer than Jo and shares how her body now tells her clearly when she has had enough, a point some people reach only through GLP-1 injections but which Lucy found naturally. They explore the growing science behind the gut microbiome and how it may be calling the shots on what we eat and how we feel. Lucy explains how simple it is to start making your own fermented food at home, and shares honest advice on managing hunger in the early days of changing your eating pattern, including her brilliant reminder that real hunger builds but waves of hunger simply go away.

She discusses how boredom is often mistaken for hunger, and why understanding the 'when' of eating can be more transformative than focusing on 'what' or 'how much' we consume.

Jo reflects on her own experiences with Time-Related Eating and the valuable lessons learned about recognizing genuine eating signals versus emotional or habitual triggers. She also shares her thoughts on Professor Giles Yeo's BBC podcast about weight loss drugs, discussing how GLP-1 medications can offer insights into appetite regulation and what this means for our understanding of hunger and satiety.

This episode offers practical wisdom for anyone looking to develop a more intuitive relationship with food and better understand their body's natural eating cues within the Foodsane approach.

]]> This week I am talking to Alyss Thomas who is an experienced psychotherapist.  We will discussing the democratisation of psychotherapy and how you can get the very best out of your sessions and reflecting on our own learning. If you can't afford psychotherapy it will give you ideas that you can take into your life.  We talk together about the different aspects of your life journey, the importance of taking care of yourself and having a non judgemental space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings.  We discuss the meaning of words like unconscious and the importance of improving communication.    

Mind Kind is a podcast to support resilience and motivation in self care and mental health through education, discussion and reflection. We will always aim to give you actions you can consider for your own wellbeing. In this third series the field is open to give our attention to mental health and wellbeing for both children, families and adults.
