Ep 147 You Can Eat That - Joshua Hills

Author: Karl O Rourke April 9, 2026 Duration: 54:03
In this episode, I’m joined by Joshua Hills to talk about the deeper psychology behind the way we eat — and why so many people feel more confused, anxious, and disconnected from food than ever. We get into:
  • why Joshua felt this book needed to exist
  • how his personal story shaped the work he does today
  • why so much nutrition advice online is making people worse, not better
  • what food freedom actually means
  • how food anxiety often gets disguised as “discipline”
  • why guilt, restriction, and all-or-nothing thinking keep people stuck
  • and what a healthier, more realistic relationship with food actually looks like
This isn’t a conversation about perfect eating.
It’s a conversation about peace, permission, and unlearning the fear around food

Hosted by Karl O Rourke, Hard Conversations Ireland is built on the belief that the most interesting paths often lead through topics we’re conditioned to skirt around. This isn’t a lecture series or a polite chat; it’s a space where genuine curiosity drives the dialogue, whether the guest is a renowned athlete, a business leader navigating a crisis, or someone with a profoundly personal story to tell. You’ll hear discussions that move seamlessly from the practicalities of physical fitness and the mechanics of the business world to the nuanced realities of social issues and personal growth. The common thread is a commitment to depth, to sitting with an idea long enough to uncover its layers, even when it feels uncomfortable. By asking the questions that often go unspoken, this podcast creates a rare kind of clarity. Each episode offers a unique perspective, but they all share a raw, exploratory energy that challenges listeners to think a little harder about the world and their place in it. Tune in for conversations that are as educational as they are unpredictable, proving that the most valuable insights frequently lie just beyond the edge of easy small talk.
