Grassroots Health

About Grassroots

Growing up in the greater Brisbane region, Mandah spent her youth exposed to a diverse array of cultures and their rich tapestry of foods, music and dress. This sparked a passion for travel, and by her teens Mandah had had the opportunity to travel to a number of different countries and experience many types of food and food preparation.

The connection between food and health was further cemented through Mandah’s own health issues. From severe childhood asthma, to an auto-immune disease (alopecia areata) in early adulthood, Mandah has always turned first and foremost to food, nutrition, and gut-health as a first step to recovery.

To formalise this journey, Mandah has undertaken both studies in nursing, and nutrition, to provide her with a balanced and informed view of health in modern society. This has only reinforced her conviction that all-round health and wellbeing are centered around food and nutrition.

Mandah established Grassroots Health in 2013, which has expanded to include food education through her classes, community talks and one-on-one consultations in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The focus of Grassroots Health is ensuring good nutrition is affordable and accessible to everyone, allowing people to achieve a balance of mind, body and soul through making changes to diet and lifestyle.
