In this Episode, Kate talks about the importance of positive nutrition, which arose as a result of her seeking to achieve optimal brain function as a professional nutritionist. She discusses the problem of how ordinary stress is medicalised into mental illness, and the ripple effect that can have on people and organisations
Kate and Ruth spend time talking about the importance of discussing emotional health and not using 'mental health' as a catch all to discuss and label the person with all matters associated with different crises at work, as well as how the language used can impact people's lives
Kate dives into the importance of viewing nutrition in the context of the community within our body, the soil and the earth and how our connection to the community inside, outside and on the planet is so important
Kate also talks about the problems with demonising food elements and provides her top tips for achieving optimal health through the lens of nutrition
