I am thrilled to have Jess Sherman as a guest, she is Registered Holistic Nutritionist and a Family Health Expert. Jess has taught me tonnes about what needs to be done with our children in order to help them build better physical and mental resilience by educating them about how to use food as their ally. Better resilience means better growth, better learning and mental wellness along with reducing symptoms of digestive issues, inflammation, anxiety, aggression, cognitive issues, ADHD and Autism. This episode is filled with information about the special bond between food, resilience and all the above mentioned diagnoses.
Here are the amazing topics Jess and I discuss during this episode:
- ● Jess talks about her journey from Teacher to Nutritionist.
- ● The massive gap in the education system.
- ● The importance of community.
- ● The purpose of the Resilience Roadmap Program.
- ● The four pillars of resilience health.
- ● The gut-brain connection.
- ● The impact of the environment.
- ● Stress as a game changer for health.
- ● Tangible things every parent can do.
- ● Simplify, nourish and connect.
- ● Drop the guilt, you can't do it all as a parent.
- ● Nourishment.
- ● The picky eater situation.
- ● It is not only about the food but about the resilience of the body
- ● The power of castor oil.
- ● What to do if your child is constipated.
- I hope this episode helps you realize about the importance of community, connection and nourishment, and that the way to achieve these goals is just by going back to basics. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
