In this episode of The Whole Circle we chat with Israel and Belinda from "The Root Cause" who are transforming children's lives one lunchbox at a time.
After the birth of their second child, Israel suffered badly from post natal depression (yes men suffer too!). It was at this point they each started to look at lifestyle factors and the food they were eating to get Israel back on track. They saw a clear connection between the food they ate and how this effected their mood. It was this connection that saw Israel avoid the need to take anti-depressant medication. They saw a dramatic improvement in their own, as well as both of their children's health and behavior.
Belinda became a qualified health coach, they sold their house and hit the road, travelling by bus from school to school to spread their amazing healthy food message. Belinda loves sharing some quirky experiments, helping to get the message across to young children about eating more fruit and vegetables. Their most important message is helping children to understand what they eat is directly linked to how that makes them feel.
Their school programs are an incredible success, with many parents noticing positive changes in their kids' eating habits!
