School Programs
Less movement, poor food choices, hidden sugars, disrupted sleep patterns and social media ‘madness' is not only affecting young people’s bodies but research is increasingly showing it is affecting their mood and ability to cope with simple daily stresses, school work and friendships.
A school can build resilient children, a school can provide excellent academic teachers, and your school has the ability to create leaders, creative thinkers and athletes; however it is impossible to do any of that without underpinning young adults with good nutrition which supports all aspects of their health…
Their physical body, mental awareness and emotional wellbeing.
It is exciting how schools are really embracing the wellbeing of our children and teenagers and School Nutrition Programs and teenagers’ diet is an extremely important topic. These young people are faced with mental, social, and emotional challenges daily and if they have a solid healthy foundation they are able to cope better with life’s challenges.
Accomplished speaker Michele Hedge is a Nutritionist (Adv. Dip of Nutritional Medicine, Australia Traditional Medicine Society) and published author and a dynamic health advocate. Nutrition for teenagers is an extremely important topic for Michele, particularly as she has three teenagers herself.
As a nutrition speaker, Michele is in demand as schools realise the importance of teenage nutrition and how a teenager’s diet affects their lives daily. And her nutrition presentation has a positive effect on the teenagers. Michele looks at the use of nutrient-dense, whole foods as the basis of mental and physical stability.
Flourishing and Nourishing in a Changed World
Michele’s vision is to educate, inspire, and connect your Teachers, Students, and Parent Communities with the science of wellbeing. Michele is an international author and presenter to corporates and schools and education is her passion. It is time to look up, look out and flourish.
As a former teacher, Michele is aware of how educators are often experts at nourishing the world but overlooking themselves. As a mother, Michele is far too aware of the impact of food on students' mental resilience and physical energy. Michele has combined her nutritional medicine studies with her formal Positive Psychology diploma to craft an enjoyable and informative program for teachers, staff, parents or student.

The Impact of Nutrition on Mental Resilience & Energy
We are very concerned about the well-being of our students and rightly so but what about YOU. The heart of our education system. As a former educator, Michele understands how teachers and education staff often put themselves last. As humble educators, you feel it is a luxury to prioritise your well-being – eating, sleeping, exercising and stress hacking. It's not! and Michele is going to share evidence-based research in a humorous fashion to help you improve your physical and mental health with non-extreme take-away messages. Warning this nutritionist believes in a wee bit of coffee, wine and dark chocolate. All attendees will receive a complimentary online program for your CPD* points.
