Fuel Your Focus: A kid-friendly guide to healthy fats and the science of a sharper brain.
Course Summary
Did you know your brain is the fattiest organ in your body?
In this interactive course, students go beyond "good vs. bad" labels to discover the fascinating world of lipid science. We dive deep into how Omega-3 fatty acids act as the ultimate building blocks for brain cells, supporting everything from memory and concentration to mood stability.

My mission is to empower kids aged 8-18 to build a positive relationship with food through science-backed, interactive learning. From kinesiology to food science, I believe that when kids understand the why behind their food choices, they develop habits that last a lifetime. I’ve been honored to be featured in Inc.
