Children’s Nutrition with Nicola Charnock
“They don’t eat anything that doesn’t look like it comes out of the ground.” Nicola Charnock is the resident nutritionist at Back To The Garden Childcare and mother of 2. She qualified at the renowned CNM London (College of Natural Medicine). Her business CF Wellness Organics combines all her holistic skills and training under one roof. With 15 years of sports rehab experience, her clients include high profile athletes and musicians. Her understanding of the rate at which the body heals and athletic performance led her to train as a yoga teacher in India and introduce nutrition into her work. Through becoming a mother herself she is educating and supporting families through workshops in fertility, pregnancy, and post birth for both mother and baby. She runs food workshops including ‘Nutrition for the Whole Family Made simple’. Her love and passion for what she does makes her an incredible guest. We are joined today by Nicola (and her son Bodhi?). “I’m always in the kitchen, that’s where to find me. Except from that I’m on a yoga mat. We look at food, where it comes from. I get the kids to smell everything before we eat. They’re always around when I’m making it.” In this episode we discuss: Nicola's personal experiences with her children and eating well at home The optimum foods to feed children Her view on supplements The importance of sleep How brain health and gut health are connected. We touch on mental health and young children Why post-natal mothers need lots of support and so much more. “The less chemicals that are put into their tiny bodies the better.” https://www.cforganicwellness.com/ [email protected] IG: @cf_organicwellness IG: @naturallyrawcakes For the full list of resource links and detailed show notes visit https://www.backtothegardenchildcare.com/podcast/ -------- Thank you for listening!
