On this Thursday's episode, we're looking at how anyone who is thinking about weight loss or management

can achieve their goal right now while remaining kind to their minds. It's in response to a ton of emails and DMs from you guys asking, on the one hand, for advice on weight loss, but on the other, for strategies to maintain a healthy relationship with food,

and your body during an especially drying year. Our expert guest is Rihanna Lambert, a Harley Street nutritionist who specialises in helping clients with obesity, but also those with eating disorders who need to rebuild their relationship with food. Here's this week's one tip for Riannon, for how you can achieve a body goal, if that's what you're interested in right now, without placing undue pressure on your mind.

I would love listeners to really just think, it's okay, I can do me, and not to compare yourself to other people on a journey. This is a very, very unprecedented, difficult time. And it's actually coping and turning to food is actually quite smart if you think about it. You know, it's something we can do. It's only when it becomes long-term and chronic

and we harm ourselves with it and we become upset that it becomes a big problem. So please be kind to yourself and know that there's help out there and be aware that the problem is psychological and just as much as what you're eating every single day. So sometimes a bit of psychological support could be just as beneficial with a weight gain or weight loss journey

because the two are very, very heavily interlinked and arm yourself with the right people. For more smart strategies and do-today tips, tune in on Thursday.
