In this weeks episode of The Whole Circle, we interview Monique from The Nourished Psychologist. She is an amazing mum to three beautiful children and has made the transition to an additive-free family after reading a post about additives in today’s food.
Monique shares her battle with Crone’s disease, and how eating a diet free from processed (additive filled) foods, as well as maintaining a gluten, white sugar and dairy-free diet, has helped her manage this illness and turned her health around.
If you are going to change the way you eat, you need to know WHY you are doing it, and not do it because someone else told you to.
Before starting to eat additive-free Monique didn’t even know how to boil an egg and would rely on a range of packet mixes to help her cook for her family. But after realising just how bad additives and preservatives are for her (and her family), she started to cook from scratch.
Monique shares her insight into how she made the transition, how she started to learn to cook, and how she is now cooking a range of things that a few years ago, she wouldn’t even attempt to do.
Whilst she didn’t have any major behavioural issues with her children, she has noticed a massive change in her kids since removing additives from their diets.
Monique shares her unique formula and talks you through how to pack a beautiful, healthy, fun-filled lunchbox in under five minutes. You will love this, it is the perfect formula and can be adapted to suit any family.

At the end of the day, it’s all about informing our kids so they can make the best choices about the food they eat, we can’t be there 24/7, so we need to empower our kids and teach them about the food they are eating.
