In my clinic days, treating patients for a whole range of health issues often linked to poor diet and chronic stress, a realisation struck me. What if people craved healthy food as much as processed foods?

As a kid, I remember my rare visits to McDonald's – it was well tailored for kids – kids meals, things to collect, games, playgrounds and kids parties!

It dawned on me that these early interactions were subtly shaping preferences, habits and taste buds.

McDonald's had it figured out: start young and you create customers for life.

But what if this could be used for good instead of just corporate profits?

This insight sparked a mission in me: Why not apply this approach to teaching nutrition and healthy eating, especially to young minds (and taste buds) in schools?

I started to create an education program focused on nutrition for kids. As I delved deeper, I realised I didn't know how to break through the ‘food pyramid' guidelines and its corporate funding.

Most of our initial lessons in nutrition came from that food pyramid, pushing a diet rich in breads, pastas, and grains.

A teacher I knew worked with kids with ADHD, to her horror, mid-morning and afternoon snacks were funded by confectionary companies. The kids went wild!

Transforming our health begins with education on nutrition. Women in our Buh-Bye Burnout program often share that grasping the ‘why' of their dietary choices was a game-changer for their results.

Women in their 30’s and 40’s struggling with exhaustion, anxiety and low moods, are tired of just following diets without an understanding of the underlying issues.
