 Sophia Dawson is deep in her PhD researching the link between diet and OCD and what she's uncovering goes way beyond OCD. If you're someone who feels chronically wired, anxious, or just permanently on edge, this episode is going to make a lot of things click.

We get into why what's on your plate directly drives your stress response, why your blood sugar might be behind more of your anxiety than your actual life is, and why so many people are doing everything "right" and still struggling. ( the food system has a lot to answer for.)

This isn't about clean eating or cutting things out. It's about understanding what your body's actually been trying to tell you and why food is the first place to start, not the last.

Chronically Wired, Anxious, Permanently On Edge?

Starting your baby on solids is one of those things that sounds straightforward until you actually do it and suddenly you're down a google rabbit hole at 11pm wondering if you've already done it wrong.

In this episode, we sit down with Gina Urlich, nutritionist, mum of four, and founder of Odi Nutrition, to cut through the noise and make the whole thing feel a lot more manageable. Gina brings the kind of grounded, real-talk advice you'd get from a friend who just happens to have a degree in nutritional medicine and four kids under her belt and she's done the solids journey with all of them.

We get into:
- The signs that your baby is actually ready (and why "being curious about your food" isn't one of them).
- The first foods worth focusing on.
- The nutrients that a six-month-old needs more of than a fully grown adult man.
- Introducing allergens.
- The difference between spoon feeding and baby-led weaning
- What a balanced lunchbox actually looks like in real life.
- Why the family dinner table might be the most underrated parenting tool going.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to get it all right, this one's for you. it's a lot simpler than the internet makes it look.
