The Real Weight Loss Coach

The Real Weight Loss Coach

Most diets fail, not because you’re lazy, but because the real reasons for weight gain and poor health are being hidden from you. I’m Matty Lansdown - scientist, nutritionist, and emotional eating specialist, here to help you lose weight naturally, stop emotional eating, heal your metabolism, and fix your relationship with food… without calorie counting or restriction. Every Monday, get a 10-15 min pep talk to kickstart your week. Every Wednesday, join me and my guests - leading doctors, nutritionists, psychologists, alternative health pioneers, and truth-telling industry insiders - for 40-60 min deep dives into everything from gut health, diabetes, cancer, and food as medicine to mindset, medical myths, and the messy truth about the health system. Sometimes you’ll laugh, sometimes you’ll squirm - but you’ll always walk away with tools to take control of your health for good.

      Are You A Charlotte?

      In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
