What I do now is I teach parents and teachers actually to what I found when I left, which was this missing piece of the puzzle, what I consider to be a missing piece of the puzzle.
That's not talked about that much, but it's this idea that the brain and the body were actually work together as one interconnected ecosystem.
And, you know, now when I say that, it kind of sounds obvious, like, of course, it's one body, it works together in the same ecosystem.
But, you know, when I looked around, I realized that what I was taught in education and what my the kids I was working with were learning from, you know, the medical community and what I was reading about, typically, the brain and the body are very much addressed separately.
And we never really learn how the brain affects the body and how the body affects the brain.
And it's that it's not integrated into therapies or into even, you know, the social fabric about how we learn about health and this sort of thing.
And so that's what I do now is when I became a mom, I realized, you know, I got very, very excited when I was learning all of this, very excited because it kind of opened up my mind to this whole new.
toolbox of ways that we could help kids by improving the health of their body in order to help calm their minds and ease their anxieties and help them learn and function better.
And I got really excited and then I became a mom.
And as you know, all bets are off when it comes to feeding a family.
I realized how ill-equipped we are as parents to feed our family's
in this way.
So I really set my mind to simplifying things for parents.
So that's what I do now.
I curate all of this information, which is really exploding in a very exciting way.
But I curate it for parents so that they can leave overwhelmed and start to become confident in their choices, mostly around food and feeding, but also in lifestyle and how they connect with their kids, how they communicate with their kids and that sort of thing.
You know, I felt intuitively that there was a hole in how we were helping kids.
So, you know, when I started this, this was in the sort of
mid-2000s, when I left.
And it was really fringy.
