Know Your Why
Starting anything new in life can often be overwhelming and it’s no different when it comes to implementing healthier food options into your life. We’re here to help those that are starting out additive-free and putting out a big reminder that it isn’t as scary as it may seem!
First, you need to establish your “Why?”. Why would you like to eat a certain way? Why have you had an interest in additive-free?
For Jo, in particular, her journey into additive free living began when her daughter, at just three years old, had major unexplained behavioural issues. Jo would often find her in the fetal position on the floor, scratching her face excessively or throwing lengthy tantrums. Luckily, around this time Jo was fortunate enough to overhear information on a certain additive that is linked to behavioural issues. She then delved into researching more about what might be affecting her daughter’s behaviour. She found the light at the end of the tunnel when she discovered an adverse reaction to a certain preservative in a particular food her daughter was frequently eating.
Once Jo realised what chemicals were in many foods, she removed them out of their diet. Her daughter’s moods improved dramatically, she lost weight herself, her brain fog vanished and her and her husband’s sleep patterns dramatically improved.
In this episode, we talk about the confidence and pride that comes with choosing to go additive-free and explain why it isn’t a diet (or fad) but rather a way of life.
We discuss how to incorporate additive-free into your meals and how to do so enjoyably rather than seeing it as a punishment or restriction.
