Episode Description

The relationship between the food we eat, and our feelings can be fraught. Breaking free from emotional eating is rarely a linear journey.

What we eat isn’t just about hunger—it’s about how we feel. In this episode, Di Gillett sits down with powerhouse Terry Tateossian, who shares her inspiring transformation: shedding over 80 pounds during perimenopause and stepping into her power as a fitness coach for women over 40. They dive deep into emotional eating, the hidden impact of sugar, and the mindset shift needed for real, lasting change. Terry opens up about her cultural roots, personal struggles, and how she broke free from unhealthy patterns. From the concept of primary vs secondary foods to the role of resistance training in aging well, this conversation is a wake-up call for women ready to take control of their health—without giving up the joy in life.
