Things are changing round here with the podcast. Expect to see some slick in person episodes but also more of just me talking and giving you weekly advice …

Today I invite you to get curious, why do you eat the way you do?

Listen to what I have to say and either send me a DM on instagram @iamellemace or comment here.

What have you found out about yourself ?

Food freedom is available from all bookshops and a special freebie for those who have purchased the book.

What happens when your relationship with food, your body and your identity becomes tangled up with sport?

In this deeply honest conversation, Elle Mace is joined by presenter and women’s sport advocate Emma Oldfield to talk about her experience of anorexia, bulimia, body image and recovery and the complicated relationship between eating disorders and sport.

They explore the pressure female athletes face, body image in football and rugby, shame and secrecy, the role of sport in recovery, and why we need far more support and education around disordered eating in sport.

If you work in sport, love sport, or have ever struggled with your relationship with food or your body, this is an important conversation to hear.

Emma Storey-Gordon joins me on the More to Life Podcast for a conversation that goes right into the heart of the fitness and wellness industry.

We talk about what it actually takes to be a good coach, and why authenticity matters.

We get into fat loss and what it really means, a topic close to home, as Emma’s new book tackles exactly this, plus diet culture, the ick that social media gives us more often than not, and supplements: what’s actually worth taking and what’s just noise.

We cover a huge amount in a short space of time, so settle in.

This week Elle is joined by nutritionist and NatureDoc clinical lead Lucinda Miller. Three-time bestselling cookbook author, and someone who’s transformed her own family’s ADHD through nutrition.

We dig into why zinc and iron matter so much for fussy eaters, the difference between fussy eating and ARFID, why nutrition apps like Yuka can do more harm than good, and her honest, nuanced take on GLP-1s and children.

Elle is joined by Becky Jones, body confidence & food freedom coach.

They discuss healing 20 years of disordered eating, from teenage restriction to finally finding freedom in her mid-30s. Talking diet culture in the 90s, the guilt-and-shame cycle, rebuilding identity and style after years of shrinking yourself, and why real change starts with your mind, not the scales.

This week Elle is joined by @wearefullofbeans founder Hannah Hickinbotham — nutritionist, researcher, and someone with lived experience.

We unpack why an ADHD or autism diagnosis can reframe a decade of disordered eating, why “meal prep hacks” don’t work for neurodivergent brains, and why self-compassion beats self-criticism every time.

Hannah shares her journey of eating disorders and being neurodivergent, how the two mix together and how someone can help themselves too.

About Hannah:

Hannah is a nutritionist specialising in ADHD, podcast host, and lived experience mental health researcher. She holds an MSc in Clinical Nutrition and starts a PhD this October exploring the link between ADHD and anorexia. Hannah is the founder of Full of Beans, the eating disorder awareness podcast, aiming to reduce shame, stigma and loneliness associated with eating disorders to bridge the gap between lived experience and clinical support. As someone who is AuDHD herself, she brings genuine understanding and passion to her work to help others build a relationship with food that helps them feel empowered, not overwhelmed. Hannah offers 1:1 ADHD nutrition coaching, delivers talks and training for schools, workplaces, healthcare settings and conferences, and collaborates on research, all with a glittery, rainbow-loving, cat-mum-in-Cambridge energy that makes nutritional science feel accessible and simple.

In this episode, Elle is joined by body image coach Sarah Simpson for an honest, deeply human conversation about confidence, body image, and self-worth. Sarah shares her personal journey through disordered eating, healing, and the moment she realised that reaching her “goal weight” didn’t bring happiness. Together, they explore self-abandonment, people-pleasing, relationships, and why real healing goes far beyond food and fitness.

In this episode Elle is joined by Dr Anna Colton, clinical psychologist and author of How to Talk to Children About Food. They unpack what a clinical psychologist actually does, why Anna has spent 25 years specialising in eating disorders, and how our own “food baggage” gets passed on to our children. We talk about language around bodies and weight, snacks and “treats”, school weighing and health messaging, and how to raise kids who trust their bodies without turning food into a battle.
