In this episode of Raising Healthy Mothers, I'm diving into one of my favourite topics: seasonal eating, and why it matters so much, especially in motherhood.
We've officially left the Hungry Gap and our shops are bursting with seasonal, local produce again. I share why seasonal eating goes far beyond better flavour and nutrients (though yes, sun-warmed tomatoes do taste better). From stories of my grandparents' allotment life in London, to what I've learned since becoming a nutritionist, this episode is part nostalgic, part practical, and full of gentle encouragement.
I talk about:
Why seasonal eating gives back energy and joy – especially when you're deep in motherhood
How it helps with variety and reduces decision fatigue
Ways to start small (even if your kids won't eat the veg yet)
What's in season right now – and what I'm loving cooking with
Why it's more affordable and nourishing – without needing fancy superfoods
Whether you already follow the seasons or you're curious about dipping your toe in, this episode will help you tune into the rhythm of nature and your own body – in a way that's simple, grounding and for you.
