How the small but passionate team created a worldwide training platform and community or kinship as Jayne refers to their incredible network The rampant childhood conditions Jayne sees that are linked to poor metabolic health: obesity; Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease; Mental Ill Health such as anxiety, depression, ODD, ADD. The importance of kindness and kinship in educating children to make great food choices - without isolating them Shocking levels of obesity in South Africa and the power of women to cascade food changes across communities The tragedy of our times that medical professionals have been doing what they believe to be right - but unfortunately it does not work Jayne's own PCOS diagnosis, insulin resistance, and her motivation Jayne on Prof Tim Noakes “he's an extraordinarily exceptional human being” and how he reversed his Type 2 Diabetes with Low carb or Banting nutrition, to avoid the same fate as his father. The mind body medicine practices that Jayne has found to be profoundly impactful for her own health - with breath, mindfulness and meditation at their core. The groups that she runs, that are available to support others. Her view that trauma can be a major trigger in autoimmune conditions such as Type 1 Diabetes Cognitive behavioural change in children over 2 years - with simple, affordable and scalable food changes Eat Better - it doesn't have to be perfect, we don't have to give up everything - simple changes make huge impacts on health Their new resources to help us with food addiction, emotional eating and changing lifelong food habits Jayne's go to family resources around resilience and the simple actions that family's can take today for their wellbeing. ** Support us by subscribing!
