Having personally seen how changing food transformed her depressed husband’s and anxious daughter’s lives, speaker, researcher and author Belinda Smith is on a mission to show that nutrition sits at the heart of our physical and mental health. In this episode, Dr Lucy Burns talks with Bel, one of Australia’s leading independent voices for children’s health, author of The Lunchbox Effect and founder of The Root Cause. You’ll hear how our kids’ lunchboxes became a snacking trap, how ultra-processed foods affect mood, learning and behaviour, and the simple changes that can protect your child’s mental health without making food a battleground.
