Episode 3: The Micronutrient Shield

New for March 2026 - Healthy Eating on a Budget

Healthy Eating on a Budget is a practical guide designed to help individuals transition from custody to the community by mastering financial and nutritional independence. The course challenges the myth that nutritious food is expensive, instead promoting "essentialism" through a foundational nine-item survival kit. Learners will discover the science behind frozen and tinned staples, which often retain more vitamins than fresh produce, and learn to identify "energy thieves" that cause mood-destabilising blood sugar crashes. From surviving on just one pound a day using smart supermarket strategies to mastering affordable "fakeaways" that replace expensive takeaways, this course empowers participants to fuel their physical health and mental clarity. By taking control of the kitchen, learners build a vital foundation for long-term stability and success.
