Workplace Programs

The world of nutrition can be complex and confusing with new products flooding supermarket shelves, endless diets offering quick fixes, conflicting science and clever food marketing. Before delving into the practical solutions, it’s helpful to start with a simple overview of nutrition so participants understand the basic concepts and how they fit into the bigger picture.

Our food supply has changed considerably in the last few thousand years since our hunter-gatherer days. We now plant crops and are less nomadic, we have processed energy-dense food and we use chemical pesticides and food additives. Whilst it’s not easy to eat like our ancestors, a good place to start is by choosing single ingredient real foods. In this workshop, participants head to the local shop and Min provides practical tips and information on how to navigate the supermarket shelves to make the best food choices.

In this workshop, participants learn about the journey of food through our body, some common signs of an unhappy gut and tips for improving digestion. We also talk about the importance of our gut microbes and how various events and lifestyle decisions can influence their composition over time.

Hands-on cooking classes are a great way for your team to learn new recipes and cooking skills. Trying new recipes can sometimes feel like a barrier if we are lacking in time, energy or confidence so these workshops are a valuable way to demonstrate how simple and easy it can be to create delicious and healthy meals. All recipes are tailored to your team’s preferences and dietary needs.
