In a world full of misleading and confusing information on health, eating and diets, there is this gem called Josie Buck aka The Mindful Cook. Josie is supportive, kind and knowledgeable. If you want to change your relationship with food then this is your girl!

My journey with Josie has been so amazing I can’t really put it into words. I’ve changed from someone all consumed by food, spending my life yo-yo dieting and out of control, to feeling empowered and for once in my life out of the ‘all or nothing’ mindset. Coincidentally I’ve lost weight but I’m less obsessed by this. I feel confident and am feeling fab in my new clothes. I urge anyone who is looking to change their relationship with food and themselves to start here. Overall a big big thank you and look forward to continuing this journey in 2024 🥰
