Mainly Moonology with Yasmin Boland

What if your cravings, fatigue, bloating or skin flare-ups are messages from your body asking for support?

With eclipse season behind us and Venus preparing to move into Scorpio ahead of her retrograde, I’m joined by nutritional and lifestyle therapist Lei-Lana Er for a fascinating conversation about food, health and learning to listen to your body.

Lei-Lana uses nutritional therapy, lifestyle practices and functional testing to support people with chronic health concerns, hormonal imbalances, gut issues and demanding careers. Her clients include actors, musicians and other creative professionals.

We explore why extreme diets and social media health trends can be misleading, how emotional stress may affect the physical body and why personalised support matters. Lei-Lana also shares her remarkable experience of losing her period for 12 years, then restoring her cycle after training as a nutritional therapist and taking a more holistic approach to her health.

In this episode, we discuss:
• What nutritional and lifestyle therapy involves
• Whether food has an energetic or spiritual dimension
• Vegan, carnivore and other highly restrictive diets
• The importance of food quality
• Emotional eating, cravings and nervous system support
• Lei-Lana’s concerns about weight-loss injections
• What symptoms such as fatigue, bloating and eczema may be communicating
• How functional testing can investigate the gut microbiome
• Why health advice needs to reflect the individual
• Lei-Lana’s personal experience of losing her period
• Simple foundations for supporting your health
• How nutrition and conventional medicine may work alongside one another

The Pisces Full Moon eclipse has brought us to the end of a powerful cycle. As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces carries the energy of completion, surrender and release. This eclipse invites you to look back over the past 12 months, draw a line under what’s finished and prepare for your next chapter.

In this week's Mainly Moonology podcast, Yasmin explains how the eclipse may continue to influence one important area of your chart for the coming six months. You’ll also discover how to work with the waning Moon to express what you’re feeling, release what’s weighing you down and move forward.

There’s encouraging astrology ahead, too. Jupiter’s harmonious connection with Saturn brings together optimism and effort, helping you build momentum around the goals that matter. Yasmin also introduces the Venus retrograde shadow period and the questions it may raise around relationships, abundance and your deepest values.

The episode closes with the sacred chant Om Namo Narayani, offering you a moment to surrender what you’re ready to release to the Divine Mother.

In this episode:

* Why the Pisces eclipse completes a 12-month cycle
* Where the eclipse may be triggering change in your chart
* Working with the waning Moon to release and move forward
* How Jupiter trine Saturn can support meaningful progress
* What the Venus retrograde shadow may reveal about your priorities
* A guided Om Namo Narayani chant
