Ep 14: Rebuilding Trust with Food, Stress & Aging | with Jackie Gaulton

Podcast Episode Description

In this deeply personal episode of Coming Into Focus, Helen opens up about a shift she began noticing in her own body. Despite eating well and exercising regularly, things stopped responding the way they once had. What followed wasn’t just frustration, it was a quiet loss of trust in her own body.

This experience led her to today’s guest, Jackie Gaulton.

Jackie is an E-RYT 500 certified yoga teacher, fitness instructor, and nutrition coach who works from a whole-health perspective. Her approach integrates movement, mindfulness, stress management, and nutrition to support the body as a connected system, not a problem to be fixed.

Rather than offering quick solutions or rigid programs, Jackie focuses on helping women reconnect to their bodies and understand the deeper factors influencing their health.

Together, Helen and Jackie explore:

• Why the “eat less, move more” approach often stops working
• The connection between stress, hormones, and weight changes
• How fear around food can develop
• Why many women lose trust in their body as they age
• The importance of supporting the whole person — mind, body, and lifestyle

This conversation is an honest reflection on what it means to care for our bodies differently as we age, with curiosity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of what our bodies truly need.
