This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Claire Turnbull, registered nutritionist about her latest book, End your fight with food. Claire has been a leading voice in health and nutrition for nearly two decades, helping thousands of people rethink their relationship with food, movement, and self-care. In her latest book, she brings together the science of behaviour change with the lived reality of growing up in a culture steeped in dieting, food rules, and body image pressures. What makes her work so powerful is not just her professional expertise, but her willingness to share her own story with honesty and vulnerability — from childhood experiences to struggles with disordered eating, motherhood, and mental health.
In this conversation, we dive into those personal reflections and the practical strategies she’s distilled for readers. We talk about how our early environment shapes food beliefs, the role of habits and the food environment, and why lasting change often comes down to self-belief as much as knowledge.

Claire Turnbull is a registered nutritionist, published author, and holistic wellness expert who founded New Zealand-based Mission Nutrition and findWellness. With a BSc in Dietetics, a diploma in Positive Psychology, and over 20 years of experience, she provides expertise in nutrition, mental health, and healthy lifestyle habits for individuals and businesses.
