How a week of celebration in a Melbourne school helped mistake-wary students understand the power of getting things wrongMany of you have taken the plunge with seeing Jess our Dietitian. I have been so convicted and today I am going in too. Thinking about seeing Jess? Tune in to find out what happens at the first session
April was scheduled as a re-group and recalibrate landing spot for me. After a very hectic first quarter. The car is booked into the regular servicing schedule, as is ALL my health appointments - doctor, dentist, optometrist, personal trainer - and most exciting of all - Dietitian tomorrow. The service I brought into the practice due to the APPALLING rates of nutrition and health care in professionals who take care of others.
I am DOING IT LIVE with you. I can't tell you how humbling it has been to see our clients book in with Jess our Dietitian as they take those steps to work through their relationship with food and audit their own patterns of health and nutrition.
Join me LIVE tomorrow morning as Jess goes through her assessment with me.
