086: The Evolution of Modern Food & Label Reading 401 with Becky Wells of Hippie Moms

You get to sit in on what turned into a college class in food history and nutrition label reading!

This interview is high-energy, high impact, and will fill both your academic brain and your mama heart.

Becky Wells of Hippie Moms is passionate about helping other mamas understand their food and build a healthy foundation for their families, and she cuts through all the marketing confusion and teaches us how to Just. Eat. Food.

I thought this interview might be more for the rookies to healthy living among us, but let's just say that I learned multiple new facts that I'm implementing immediately, so this is 100% for everyone, wherever you are on your journey!

You can look forward to:

• Understanding the 6 major milestones in the evolution of food and how we got to this complicated modern food landscape
• What first baby steps should be to reverse the problems we see in our health
• Label reading 101: What’s important in the ingredients
• Label reading 201: What words mean absolutely nothing and why to skip the numeric data on the Nutrition Facts

• How to explain to our kids the importance of listening to our bodies, understanding the connection between food and how we feel, and how to assess food marketing

I love Becky’s approach and her dedication to making this easier for moms, and I’m so honored by her time today. I know you’ll learn a lot and can’t wait to hear more about you and your kids making food with “just ingredients” and what baby steps you choose to take!!
