info_outlineIn this episode, I get talking to the amazing Belinda Smith, who has delved into creating a movement around 'Food'.
Belinda Smith from The Root Cause is one of Australia’s leading independent voices in children’s health and an advocate for real food in schools. She is a mum, a health coach and creator of The Mad Food Science™ Program and The 5 Minute Healthy Lunchbox System™.
We talked about some very alarming statistics, discussed how by taking out 'diversity' in our food groups, we 'may' be contributing to further gut health issues, weakening our gut microbiomes. Very importantly, we discussed how food connects to 'mood', better sleep health, better behaviour and performance.
One of the missions behind The Root Cause is ''create a generation of children who choose real food every day, enabling them to be better learners, more successful students and go onto build stronger, healthier communities. When we do this for this generation, we do it for all future generations. Will you stand with us?'' Join the movement here : https://therootcause.com.au/free-updates/
