This week, I am on a mission with Dale Pinnock, a world-class nutrition expert. Dale, who is a best-selling author and celebrity chef, joins me to discuss his eventful life and his journey into the world of nutrition. From TV presenting to singing with the Backstreet Boys, Dale has some incredible stories to share.

During our conversation, Dale opens up about the highs and lows he has experienced, as well as the challenges he has faced. He candidly shares how he navigated through the dark times and provides valuable insights into the conflicting information in the health and wellness industry. Together, we explore the foundations for sustainable change.

Dale's passion is truly contagious! You can't help but be inspired by his genuine love for nutrition and helping others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Start with small, incremental changes: Instead of trying to overhaul your entire diet and lifestyle all at once, focus on making one small change at a time. This approach is more sustainable and easier to maintain in the long run.
• Focus on whole foods: Regardless of the specific dietary approach you choose, the key is to prioritise whole foods. This means incorporating fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, healthy proteins, and healthy fats into your diet. Avoid ultra-processed foods as much as possible.
• Find a balance between simplicity and understanding: When it comes to educating yourself about nutrition and health, it's important to find a middle ground between oversimplification and overwhelming complexity. Seek out information that is clear and actionable, but still provides a comprehensive understanding of the topic.
• Getting children involved in the process of preparing meals can help them develop a positive relationship with healthy food. When kids have an emotional attachment to the food they help prepare, they are more likely to try and enjoy it.
• While it can be easy to prioritise convenience or indulge in unhealthy foods, it's important to remember that our physical and mental health should be a top priority. Making conscious choices to prioritise nutrition and overall well-being can have a significant impact on our health and the health of our children

BEST MOMENTS

"One treat meal a week is going to do absolutely bugger all negative to your health. If it's three meals a day, seven days a week, that's a very, very different situation."

"Kids only regard as a treat what we tell them is a treat. Now they think a treat is, oh, let's cook together as a family and make this southern fried chicken. And they absolutely love it."

"It's a funny thing though, isn't it, as parents that we truly believe that we are doing everything we can for our kids and so many of us, like I say myself included, just to reiterate that point, this isn't me preaching, it's people."

"We were getting a healthy, nutritional, fresh meals prepared for us and delivered to our door. As our kids were eating shite at the mother-in-law's."
