Judith Finlayson talks with me about her book You Are What Your Grandparents Ate: What You Need to Know About Nutrition, Experience, Epigenetics & the Origins of Chronic Disease. This is episode 350 of my audio podcast Teaching Learning Leading K12.
You Are What Your Grandparents Ate takes conventional wisdom about the origins of chronic disease and turns it upside down. Rooted in the work of the late epidemiologist Dr. David Barker, it highlights the exciting research showing that heredity involves much more than the genes your parents passed on to you. Thanks to the relatively new science of epigenetics, we now know that the experiences of previous generations may show up in your health and well-being.
Many of the risks for chronic diseases — including obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and dementia — can be traced back to your first 1,000 days of existence, from the moment you were conceived. The roots of these vulnerabilities may extend back even further, to experiences your parents and grandparents had — and perhaps even beyond.
Similarly, what happens to you will affect your children and grandchildren. That’s why it’s so important to make good dietary choices, get a suitable amount of exercise and be cautious about exposure to toxins. Positive lifestyle changes have been shown to spark epigenetic adjustments that can lead to better health, not only for yourself, your offspring and their children, but also for generations to come.
Judith Finlayson is a bestselling author who has written books on a variety of subjects, from personal well-being and women's history to food and nutrition. A former national newspaper columnist for The Globe and Mail, magazine journalist and board member of various organizations focusing on legal, medical and women's issues, she is also the author of over a dozen cookbooks.
Judith lives in Toronto, Canada.

Susie Harder talks with me about helping kids who stutter, providing assistance for Central California Creek Fire Families, and the Junior Author's Program. This is episode 348 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. By the way make sure that you listen to the end to hear where to go to get your gift for listening.
Susie Harder, M.A., CCC-SLP is an experienced clinician who devotes much of her passion to working with children who stutter. She works in private practice and the school setting to help support children and provides workshops and consulting-based support to school districts across California.
Susie has a history of designing and building successful programs. During her time in Fresno Unified School District (2011-2015), Susie designed and piloted a framework for 100 elementary schools, where specialty services successfully reduced student speech therapy time up to 5 years.
Most recently (2020), when the Central California Creek Fire started and children from her hometown lost their homes, Susie started brainstorming how to best support these kids. When she couldn’t find enough resources, she simply decided to create it. Within a week, she had written a children’s book themed around what these kids had just experienced, found an editor, taken a course on children’s books, and started looking internationally to find the best illustrator. Her child development skills guided her toward sharing this inspirational knowledge with kids.
The Junior Author’s Program engages students from around the world in collaboratively writing a children’s book which will be sold to raise funds for families that lost their homes in the California Creek fire. Not only does it help students participate in a meaningful project, but the storyline of the book itself is written to help children heal and process their experience of losing their home in the fire.
Thus, she created a unique platform to reinvent how children connect with literacy and books. Through the Junior Author's Program, children across the world vote to decide characters, setting, and story details of a book as it’s being created. Children get to see behind-the-scenes and connect with her through fun video posts and “Ask The Author Live” events, and are empowered by contributing to the content of the book from rough draft to published book on Amazon!
Susie is full of positive energy, encouragement, and is an invaluable resource for anyone she works with.

John Abrams is a performer and entertainer. Today we are talking about Magic, his School of Astonishment, the impact of the Pandemic on his magic business, and he shares with us some ways to make Video Engaging. Love this episode!!! Had so much fun! Wait till you hear John amaze me with an AWESOME bit of magic! This is episode 347 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Today, I am talking with John Abrams...according to John…
It's always been my goal to help principals, teachers and staff build healthy students at the Elementary School level.
My name is John Abrams. I have (had) some of the Top School Assemblies in the country (The Bully Game and Random Acts of Character) performing around 400 shows a year. – See www.AmazingSchoolAssemblies.com
On March 12, 2020 - I started receiving emails cancelling shows. It continued for the next few days. All shows were cancelled. Because of COVID, I lost around $100,000 this year alone.
In April, I started teaching social skills to kids through magic and doing socially distanced shows. Not nearly as lucrative.
I was sad and depressed for a couple of months. Could barely get out of bed. In July, my Mom was nice enough to offer her house. I moved.
On October 15th, I had an epiphany. This is it: "Performing live, I can only affect students in the Southern California Area (or a little tour here or there). But On-Line I can affect students all over the country! All over the world (in English speaking countries)"
But none of my assemblies fit this new COVID world. All were built on content (certainly transferable) and student participation (Not transferable). I spent the last 25 years figuring out how students could be involved ON STAGE. And now, none of that would work.
I re-branded and immediately started working on a brand-new STEM/STEAM program. But not a stage version, a slick On-Line version. Content first. Entertainment next. I enlisted some of the top minds around the country to help create it.
Now, with new assemblies on the horizon, and teaching kids social skills through magic, I'm ready to help schools around the world! – See www.SchoolofAstonishment.com
Teachers and Principals can pivot too. Yes, COVID changed everything about how we teach. But we're smart. We can innovate and make sure our students flourish!
Talking with John was a blast!!! He was amazing!
I still can't believe the magic trick he did for me!!!! WOW!
Lots to learn.
Have fun!
Thanks for listening!
By the way, it would be awesome if you stopped by Apple or another podcast platform and left me a review and a star rating. Please? Pretty please!
