Hi, I'm Bel from The Root Cause.
I am one of Australia's leading independent voices in children's health, and an advocate for real food in schools. I'm a mum, a health coach, and creator of The Mad Food Science Program and The 5 Minute Healthy Lunchbox System.
Together with my husband Israel – and our two kids – we travelled Australia from Oct 2015 to Dec 2017 running The Mad Food Science Program, our flagship school incursion, in schools and communities right across Australia.
To date, our grassroots work has reached over 110 schools, and we've empowered well over 27,000 children and parents to make better food choices, which is an amazing result in anyone's language.
But there's a small problem: There are over 6200 Primary Schools in Australia alone, catering to over 2 million school kids right now! Every year a new cohort of children go out into the world without these essential life skills of knowing how to make the best food choices for their bodies.
Our vision is to create a generation of healthy children who choose real food first, every single day.
And the only way we can make this vision a reality is if we start reaching more Aussie kids, much more rapidly than we have so far.
We need to empower hundreds of thousands of children, parents and teachers to choose real food every year, to create a tipping point where real food becomes normal again. We need to reach thousands of schools every year so we can have a much bigger impact on today's generation of kids.
Last year we trained 11 amazing women to become our first Certified Instructors, and they are already booking workshops in schools, and running community events right across Australia.
But Australia is a BIG country, and we need more Certified Instructors to fill the map, and help us bring our vision to life. We need to grow our group of skilled instructors who can deliver our Mad Food Science Program directly to their local communities and schools around Australia.
That's why we've re-opened applications for our Certified Instructor Program!

What you'll learn in the training program:
- You will learn and experience The Mad Food Science Program in exceptional detail – far more detail than you'd receive in any school incursion or community event. This deeper learning will be the foundation to your ability to teach the program effectively.
- You will learn how to teach The Mad Food Science Program to your communities and schools, and the why behind the lessons, so you can ensure your students get the best educational experience and outcome possible.
- You will learn why The Mad Food Science Program™ is so successful at changing children' behaviour around food choices, so that you can feel confident that your work WILL change lives.
- You will learn directly from Belinda and Israel, in a combination of pre-recorded material, and live coaching video calls, so you know you'll be supported and encouraged at every step of your learning journey. (We're encourage-y kind of folks...)
- You will get access to all the templates and training materials you need to run the Program in schools and communities, so that you can focus on delivering the best workshop possible, every single time. (You'll need to provide your own blender to make smoothies!)
What being a Certified Instructor means:
- You'll become part of a tight-knit group of like-minded people, who are dedicated and passionate about real food and improving children's health, and will become life-long friends.
- You'll experience extraordinary personal growth as you progress through the training program, and learn how to present confidently in large groups.
- You will have the opportunity to build your own business, and learn how to price, promote, and run successful Community Events, so you make a profit and are rewarded for your time.
- You will have the opportunity to earn income from delivering The Mad Food Science Program™ both in school environments, and for community groups, sports clubs, etc.
- You will experience the enormous satisfaction of helping kids create a better life for themselves through taking responsibility for their own health, bringing you immense joy as you work.
