S3 Ep #5 - Cyndi O'Meara: Queen of Nutrition Bad-assery
So today’s episode is number 5 of season 3 and my oh my do we have an absolute TREAT in store for you today! Cyndi O'Meara is a nutritionist, a film maker, she’s the owner of the Australian-based wholefood company Changing Habits, the founder of the Nutrition Academy and she’s also a best selling author. And to top that off, we're also going to give her the honorary wellness wallop title of overall Queen of nutrition bad-assery, because this lady has dedicated her life to researching & understanding what food really is, and how big corporations have manipulated our food supply and led us down a path into believing their fake, synthetic, chemically laden food is good for us. We thank the Universe that people like her exist, to be able to educate the rest of us into making better decisions for ourselves, And she ain’t afraid to tell you how it is. And you know us, we love an empowered chick with a big set of ovaries, We bought Cyndi here today to talk about her mentally rad book "Lab To Table” - stop being a lab rat, start marking better choices for your table. There is so much GOLD in this book, it’s impossible for us to talk about ALL of it in today’s podcast, so make sure you listen all the way to end, because Cindy dropped a nice little surprise on us with an AMAZING offer for you guys listening regarding how to grab yourself your own copy of lab to table...it’s at an absolute stealGET YOUR FREE BOOK HERE (CODE: Wallop if you go in arse-about). And for our Australian listeners...this is a call to arms! We need your help! We have until March 15th 2021 to submit suggestions to the Dietary Guidelines (which is currently up for review in Australia), in an effort to help switch the current guidelines supporting ultra-processsed foods, in favour for sustainable and regeneratively grown produce - which you and I know is a million times better for your body. We need to start paying attention to the QUALITY of our food team, not the quantity of it, if we really want to make an impact on the state of the produce that is ending up on our shelves...and ultimately inside us. Cindy has passed on to us an incredible letter she has written with some background information to help support the submission with the relevant links to the survey, so PLEASE, if you care about food and the future of what goes on our supermarkets shelves & therefore eventually into your gob & your guts then HAVE YOUR SAY! HEAD TO THE SURVEY FOR YOUR INPUT INTO NEW DIETARY GUIDELINES [If you want a copy of Cyndi's RIPPER letter regarding the current dietary guidelines, email us at nikki@teamstrongaf.com.au. Go forth legends, and let your voice be heard before the 15th of March, so we can change the current (and atrocious) dietary guidelines.]
