About the episode:
In this conversation, I talk mom-to-mom with Jessie Thomas about practical nutrition for families. As two mothers interested in raising healthy kids, while supporting the health of the planet, and navigating the reality of time and budget constraints, this episode may help you think differently about food and how to navigate tough choices.
Some of the things we discussed:
- the impact of food choices on health and the environment;
- the role of women in creating a culture of nourishment and teaching our kids to care for themselves;
- the significance of local farming;
- advocacy for conscientious food choices;
- the economic and health implications of food.
Jessie Thomas believes we are the agents for change for our internal ecosystems as well as the ecosystems in the world around us. She is a Certified Health Coach, personal trainer, and Nordic Ski Instructor with expertise in Functional Medicine Approaches to Anxiety and Depression. From her base at Sustainable Wellness in Missoula Montan she creates custom nutrition and wellness plans for human and environmental sustainability, teaching how we all may become strong and healthy humans, as well as informed and responsible consumers.
