167: The Truth About Wheat With Cyndi O'Meara

Cyndi O’Meara is a nutritionist, best selling author, international speaker and founder of the food company, Changing Habits. When Cyndi graduated with a BSc majoring in Nutrition from Deakin University in 1984, her special interest was ancestral foods. But at the end of her degree, she was so disillusioned by the standard nutritional guidelines, that she paved her own path — staying clear of the low fat diets of the day, and causing plenty of controversy in the process. Her groundbreaking book Changing Habits Changing Lives became an instant bestseller and from there, she has grown a successful organic food company, started a certified online education program and filmed a groundbreaking documentary, What’s With Wheat?
