13: HoA - 'Healthy body, healthy mind... Trust your gut' with Steph Geddes

I am privileged to have Nutritionist Steph Geddes from Body Good Food on the podcast.

In a little aside, Steph the superstar was 37 weeks pregnant when we recorded this and I wish her all the best as she welcomes a little one into the world very very soon!

Today I had about half a dozen questions from friends, farmers, strangers and new mothers. Wanting to take the chance to understand more about some of the decisions they’re making around food today and what it could mean for them into the future. From testing intolerances in early childhood to a farmer asking if we should actually be eating dairy!

Steph and I begin our chat talking about how dieting can be incredibly restrictive or obsessive and in fact it doesn’t need to be. Food shouldn’t create anxieties and it can be so exciting to discover the endless possibilities.

We discuss the linkages between gut health and your overall health and wellbeing, your gut actually is the foundation and research is showing there’s a correlation between your gut health to things like your moods & mental health and your digestion.

Recently, we have seen a rise in plant based diets (which in fact we all should be) BEFORE You jump down my throat - that’s the foundation should be plants.

The importance of understanding seasonality through local farmers markets and the effects of food miles on nutritional value - i really enjoyed this chat and found it incredibly insightful to some of the questions we see pop up day-to-day.

I don’t want to take over the chat for you but when you listen to the next 40 minutes you should jump over to Instagram and check our Humansofagriculture_
