#142 Inspirational Nourishment with Jane Clarke
23rd Mar 2022
I love hearing people’s stories and today’s story is hopefully uplifting and will put a smile on your face because Jane is a true inspiration to budding health and wellbeing entrepreneurs and those who want to create social change.
Jane Clarke is a dietitian and Cordon Bleu chef with more than 30 years’ experience in the nutrition industry. She is the author of 9 best-selling books. She worked with Jamie Oliver on several of his projects, including the School Meals revolution, which showed that people-power can bring about social change. It is with this same mindset and passion that she is leading Nourish by Jane Clarke, which provides a solution to the problem of undernourishment and provides empowerment and inspiration to those who are vulnerable or facing a health challenge.
You’ll hear about Jane’s career in nutrition that has spanned 3 decades including
- Getting involved in Jamie’s School Meals
- A shocking story about what happens when you challenge the powerful food industry
- Her personal health struggles with endometriosis
- Starting the UKs first private dieticians clinic and working with David Beckham
- Her experience with dementia and her dad
- The inspiration behind her new product
I wanted to talk a bit about the entrepreneurial aspect of her journey in a similar way to how we’ve done on previous podcasts with Prue leith and Liz Earle. I truly believe in the power of expert, mission led businesses to ignite sustainable change.
