Helping them manage and improve their mental and physical health was incredibly rewarding but Jodie wanted to know more about nutrition and its impact on our wellbeing, so she enrolled in a nutrition degree.

 

During this time Jodie launched My Breakfast Box after seeing just how much people were struggling to start their day with a balanced breakfast; long term health, productivity and stress are all impacted hugely by what we eat so Jodie has made it her mission to make sure the first meal of the day is a great one!
