Why Diets Fail (with Addiction Psychologist, Shahroo Izadi)
Sunday, 8 March, 2026
Why do so many of us feel powerless around food? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle is joined by psychologist, behavioural change specialist and author Shahroo Izadi to explore the surprising connection between addiction, shame, and our relationship with food.Drawing on her experience working in drug and alcohol recovery within the NHS and prisons, Shahroo explains why the way we talk to ourselves about food often mirrors the way people speak about addiction - and why shame is one of the biggest barriers to lasting change.Katie and Shahroo unpack why diets so often fail, why late-night cravings feel impossible to resist, and how compassion and behavioural psychology can help us break patterns that feel completely out of our control.They also explore how modern life, from stress and scrolling to busy schedules and disrupted routines, is affecting our nervous systems, our digestion, and our ability to make healthy choices.More information here: https://katiebrindle.com/Subscribe to my newsletter: https://katiebrindle.com/newsletter-s...Buy 'Yang Sheng: The Art of Chinese Self-Healing' athttps://www.hayoumethod.com/product/y...Buy the Hayo'u tools at https://www.hayoumethod.com/products/--------------------------------------------Join my channel and leave a comment about what you want to see next!Love, Katie Brindle.
