Nutritional Therapy for Disordered Eating in Exeter

I currently practice at the prestigious Southernhay Clinic, a multi disciplinary clinic set discreetly in a private Georgian crescent in the heart of Exeter.

It’s located in Barnfield Crescent at the heart of Southernhay, literally one minute’s walk from Princesshay.

There is one-hour metered on-street parking on Southernhay West and East or there are car parks a minute or two away.

Don’t attribute moral values to food. It’s neither good nor bad and it certainly doesn’t have the power to change who people are - if only it was that simple!
.
Making better choices might leave you feeling empowered about your health and that’s great but do bear in mind that “better choices” doesn’t necessarily mean salad.
.
Better choices are ones which will improve or maintain your health, both physical AND mental.
.
I’m thinking about all of you challenging yourself to a mince pie, a pastry, chocolate or the likes. These are your health food so don’t let anyone tell you that you’re being “naughty” for having them 💚

If you haven’t done so already people, head to @redpandaexeter .
The food is AMAZING and if you’re lucky you may also get a hug! 😊
.
This was a rice and chicken salad: brown rice, some kind of spicy chicken satay, chickpeas, butternut squash (?) pickles, salad and more.
.
Did I care about what was going to be in my lunch? Yes and no. Yes, I cared about it containing fresh food, some protein, some complex carbs, and leaves/vegetables. No I didn’t care about what was exactly going to be in there (clearly, butternut squash 🤷‍♀️). The most important was that it was going to be hot and delicious.
.
Don’t make food more complicated than that. You shouldn’t need a phd in nutrition to choose your lunch...

No I have no idea how long a walk I’d need to burn off my cheese sandwich and frankly I don’t care @bbcnews .
Putting calories information doesn’t seem to have helped people eat less so why would telling them how much they have to exercise to “make up for food” work?
.
This is also disregarding the fact that we don’t all use food at the same rate so it’s impossible to give exact guidelines on how much exercise one has to do to “burn off” the food.
.
This is also disregarding that we need calories!! Calories aren’t some dirty evil parasites that we need to purge ourselves from. Calories equal energy and without energy the body can function at any level.
.
Oh and don’t get me started on how damaging this kind of advice is for people with disordered eating. Christmas is bad enough for them, they don’t need to be told that they have to “walk off” their mince pies.
.
Pass me the mince pies, right now!

When someone gives you food, that you don’t know what it is but that you couldn’t care less because you are hungry, so you eat it.
.
That’s on day like this that you can proudly call yourself a normal eater 🤗
.
Let go of the rules, just eat, amazing things might just happen to you 💚
.
@hanforrow Thank you so much for feeding me on Saturday ❤️
.
Whoever is responsible for this, it was delicious!! 💛

I’m craving fresh and vibrant food today, so that’s what I’m going to have.
.
Eating without restriction doesn’t mean you’ll only eat pizzas and doughnuts. On the contrary: if you remove the tension created by restriction, the pull for “unhealthy” foods will diminish and then stop. That will leave you free to genuinely want other foods.
.
This isn’t a “good” meal, this is a meal I wanted and enjoyed. It was very nutritious but I didn’t make myself eat it because of the nutrients, I craved the nutrients.
.
I’m not a better person for eating this in the same way as I’m not a bad person when I eat pizza, biscuits or chocolate.
.
Hope you’re having a good Sunday 💚

My skin feels like it needs a bit of tlc after too many early mornings in the last few week. So today’s programme is: sugar, honey and olive scrub, followed by a argile mask with a few drops of tea tree.
.
Lots of water, an early night, not a too ridiculously early start tomorrow, oh and lots of smiling should sort me out.
.
From 🧟‍♀️ to 👩🏻 🤞🤞

I’m the elf of crepes today 🥞🎄
.
I’m a mum too and wouldn’t dream of not participating to the school Christmas fair. My contribution is always the same: crepes and I love it!
.
Yes, the machine is mine because no Breton worth their salted butter would emigrate without one 😉

My clients know I love metaphors and sayings.
.
Yesterday, this is what I came up with which made that client and I giggle. And yes, giggling has to be part of the process because recovery is hard enough as it is!
.
Self love isn’t about thinking you are beautiful, intelligent etc., it’s believing or you are worthy of love, care, respect, attention etc.
.
Self love doesn’t make you feel perfect but teaches you to accept imperfections as things of life.
.
You don’t even have to celebrate your cellulite or your knobbly knees, just accepting them would make you feel better already.
.
No one is perfect baby, so just accept it 💙
