Today we are lucky enough to be speaking with Amanda, a mum of four and a nurse that is witnessing the direct result of increased chemicals in our everyday life, and the role they are playing in disease. Particularly she recognizes the rise in dermatitis, eczema and asthma in young children and makes a stand that she doesn’t want her children to walk the same path.

We probe into the challenges that come with nursing, including the type of processed food generally served to patients in a hospital, and the treatment of disease, rather than the prevention of disease. Amanda sees many of her patients return because of this very reason.

After completing our Additive Free Made Easy Course, Amanda feels she has the confidence, knowledge and power to make changes in her local community. Living in Central Queensland, we thought Amanda may see an increase in her food bill going additive free, but she explains how with planning and preparation, very little has changed from a money perspective. We also hear positive changes in overall health, such as fewer colds and cases of flu cascading through her kids, therefore less need for medication.

With the removal of certain additives and the allowance of these foods simply as treats, we hear how it becomes crystal clear to Amanda what the target of the problem is! We also discuss the need to educate our kids now, in order to create a generational change moving into the future. We all agree that only we know directly what it’s like to come from grandparents or parents, that knew only of real food.
