Cork-born Karen O'Donoghue is a woman with a mission: to improve people's gut health through the bread she bakes at The Happy Tummy Co. in Westport, Co Mayo. Her baked goods are the culmination of a long and sometimes painful journey involving the loss of her mother to cancer, years spent suffering through poor mental and physical health, and ultimately teaching herself all about optimum nutrition.
In this episode of Food Matters, Karen shares the fascinating story of how she healed herself and found happiness through food. In conversation with Mick Kelly of GIY, Karen also talks about:
· The critical importance of eating the right amount of fibre.
· Discovering Teff and why it is the most important grain in the world.
· Why she feels capitalism is at the root of poor diets.
· Building a business on a €25 loaf of bread - a product packed with sustainable, regenerative ingredients.
· Her lifelong mission to help everyone to heal themselves through food.
