Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Dotun Adebayo on BBC Radio London, where I shared actionable tips on making 2025 your healthiest and happiest year yet.
This interview is packed with insights to help you:
– Set realistic goals and stick to them.
– Improve your sleep, even when it feels impossible.
– Manage menopause with a holistic approach.
– Embrace mindfulness to create meaningful change.
Here are some of the things that we discussed:
1. Mindfulness: The Key to Lasting Change
Mindfulness helps you stay present in the moment and make better decisions. We talked about:
- Mindful Eating: Focus on your food’s taste, texture, and aroma to prevent overeating.
- Single-Tasking: Whether eating or relaxing, avoid distractions like phones or TV.
2. Goals and Resolutions Made Simple
Many people set too many resolutions and struggle to keep them. Instead:
- Focus on 1-2 Big Goals: Whether it’s improving energy, better sleep, or weight loss, start with manageable steps.
- Work Backwards: Break your goals into smaller, actionable steps for long-term success.
3. How to Improve Sleep
We explored practical ways to improve your sleep, even if it feels difficult:
- Turn off gadgets before bed.
- Try calming activities like journaling or puzzles.
- Practice breathing techniques like box breathing to calm your mind.
4. Managing Menopause Holistically
For women experiencing menopause, we discussed how to ease symptoms:
- Eat Better: Focus on protein, fibre, and healthy fats while reducing or avoiding processed foods.
- Reduce Stress: Stress impacts hormones, so tools like meditation and mindfulness are essential.
- Stay Active: Small lifestyle changes can help manage weight and reduce symptoms like hot flushes and bloating.
5. Why Small Changes Add Up
We talked about the power of daily improvements—whether it’s focusing on positive thoughts, eating real foods, or practicing gratitude.
If you’re ready to improve your health, feel better, and take control of your life, this interview is packed with actionable tips to get started.
