Fat vs Sugar 101 Bundle

I spent my pregnancy with my first daughter researching how to have a natural birth. After I gave birth, it was all I could do to physically recover, bond with my baby, and learn how to breastfeed. I kept drowning in guilt feeling like I needed to research routine medical care, nutrition, and early education for my child, but I was simply too tired and overwhelmed to know where to begin. I was drained of mental and physical resources, vulnerable, and intensely emotional.

This is often the moment at which we, as parents, find ourselves most susceptible to the voices of medical and political authority that may or may not have our children's best interests at heart. The unsolicited opinions of friends and family continue to obscure the issues and cloud our judgment. It can feel impossible to make informed decisions and own those decisions when challenged by those who disagree.

I've spent the past 6 years reading, researching, making mistakes with my own children, and wishing I could have done things differently from the start. I have always believed that educating myself about an issue is my path forward, but self-education-- especially about topics that deeply impact the lives of our children--can be time-consuming and mentally draining.

I created my 101 series to help parents navigate the complex and controversial waters surrounding fertility, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, nutrition, and routine pediatric medical care. Each 101 e-book provides 101 facts from medical authorities, peer-reviewed scientific journals and nonfiction authors with serious credentials. Each fact is additionally hyperlinked to allow parents to dive as deeply as they wish into a particular topic.

Thus, each 101 e-book provides a thorough--but concise--overview of a controversial issue and simultaneously offers parents a launching point to do their own additional research. The Take Back Your Health 101 Series explores nutrition as the bedrock for mental health, physical health, fertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The Fat versus Sugar 101 bundle addresses the popular controversy between fat and carbohydrate consumption.

My 101 series is intended to save parents time, mental and emotional energy, and also provide them with a path forward for themselves and their children. The Fat versus Sugar 101 bundle helps parents to make the principles they learned from the e-book come alive in their own hearts, minds, and kitchens.

My goal is to help make research that properly belongs to parents more accessible, understandable, and actionable. I hope to empower parents to begin trusting their own judgment--and to feel that they are basing that judgment on legitimate research.

If, for any reason, you do not find this workbook helpful in your journey as a parent, please reach out to me for a full refund.

My goal is not to pretend I have the answers. Instead, I want to promote the scope and the gravity of the issues modern parents face. I want to help parents equip themselves with the knowledge and information they need to make truly informed choices for their children. To foster in themselves both awareness of the freedom to refuse and viable alternatives. To take the responsibility for their family’s health back into their own hands. To take back self-education and self-advocacy. And, in the process, transform themselves from victim into agent.
