Energy + Hours – Details, episodes & analysis

What if your symptoms around food, fatigue, and frustration during perimenopause weren’t just hormonal, but also deeply rooted in how you relate to food itself?

This week, Jill is joined by Cindy Spratt, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Eating Psychology Counsellor, to explore how disordered eating patterns picked up throughout life can resurface or intensify during midlife.

 Together, they unpack what disordered eating really looks like (hint: it's not just a diagnosis), and how women can shift their relationship with food in order to prepare their bodies and minds for the perimenopausal transition.

With warmth and wisdom, Cindy shares practical steps to let go of food guilt, reconnect with your body, and begin nourishing yourself - physically and emotionally.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What disordered eating really means—and why it’s more common than we think

• How to tell if your relationship with food is holding you back

• The connection between unresolved food issues and perimenopausal symptoms

• Why strict plans and perfectionism don’t work in midlife

• How to start supporting your body with nourishment instead of punishment

• Tips for eating in alignment with your emotions, hormones, and values

• Why food freedom is foundational to thriving through perimenopause

About Cindy:

Cindy is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Eating Psychology Counsellor & Eating Disorder Recovery Coach specializing in Culinary & Functional Nutrition. She helps women transform their food relationship so that they can let go of disordered eating, food guilt & shame, regain their health, and reclaim their life with confidence & freedom.

Katie shares how making small, sustainable habit shifts (rather than doing more or aiming for perfection) can create a real sense of relief and empowerment. We unpack the pressures moms feel to be everything to everyone, and how to begin reclaiming your time, energy, and self-trust without burning out.

• What boundaries actually look like for moms, and why we struggle to set them

• Why it’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what actually matters

• The invisible load of motherhood and how to lighten it

• How to rewrite the “shoulds” and default patterns we fall into

• Ways to cultivate confidence and agency in your day-to-day life

• Katie’s unique approach to coaching that blends habit science with compassion
