85 – Why being healthy feels so hard, and how to change it

We’re surrounded by advice about what to eat, how toexercise and the latest wellness trends. Yet despite having more health information than ever before, many people feel overwhelmed, exhausted and nohealthier.

This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by nutritionist, podcast host and bestselling author Sarah Ann Macklin to explore why looking after our health shouldn’t feel so complicated. Together they discuss the powerful connection between the mind and body, why self-compassion is backed by growing scientific evidence, and how our thoughts can influence everything from the food choices we make to the way our bodies respond to stress.

Sarah shares her own remarkable journey from international model to being critically ill in her twenties, an experience that completely changed how she viewed health. She explains why understanding her mind became just as important as understanding nutrition, and why sustainable health starts with kindness rather than perfection.

Together, Louise and Sarah discuss:

why mindset and physical health are inseparable

the science behind self-compassion and why it isn’t self-indulgence

how chronic stress and negative self-talk can affect our health

why the wellness industry has become so overwhelming

simple, practical ways to build healthier habits that last.

This conversation is a refreshing reminder that good health doesn’t have to come from doing more. Sometimes it begins by changing how we think about ourselves.
