New Year, New Mindset: Resetting Your Relationship with Food

Welcome to Chew on This, a new podcast about our lifelong relationship with food. In this opening episode, clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist Dr Anna Colton shares why she created the podcast, drawing on over 20 years working in specialist eating disorder services and her passion for prevention and early intervention. She reflects on why Christmas and New Year can be such a difficult time around food, body image, guilt and comparison, especially in a world full of New Year new me messaging. Anna explains why restriction fuels cravings and bingeing, why most diets fail, and what intuitive eating really means. You will hear practical and compassionate ways to reset your mindset for 2026, shift focus from appearance to wellbeing, and start building a calmer and more nourishing relationship with food. She also shares what is coming up on future episodes, with conversations across psychology, medicine and food culture exploring how and why we eat.
