In this insightful episode, Dr. Libby Weaver discusses the often-overlooked connection between our emotional state, biochemistry, and dietary choices. Many individuals adopt strict dietary practices under the guise of health when, in reality, these choices are driven by underlying fears and a quest for control or perfection. Dr. Weaver stresses the importance of recognising when health-focused behaviours are actually fueled by deeper emotional issues, which can manifest as food restriction or an unhealthy focus on body image.
She emphasises the need for a holistic approach that considers not just physical nutrition but also emotional well-being, highlighting how psychological factors can significantly influence our eating habits and overall health.

Chilli represents the new generation of farmers, choosing a path dedicated to clean, nutritious food production and education at just 19 years old.
