The idea for the Human Body Detectives (HBD) audiobook and workbook series came about when I realized that if kids understand how the food they eat plays a direct role in how their bodies function, they will be more inclined to make healthy food choices.
A word from Dr Heather…
As a naturopathic doctor and a mother, I continually search for books and resources that provide healthy eating tips and encourage parents to make healthy food choices for kids, and more importantly, encourage kids to make healthy food and lifestyle choices for themselves. I discovered there were very few books out there promoting kids’ health in a fun way, and none designed to teach kids about health by focusing on the specific body systems.
As a health care provider, I am a firm believer in the power of prevention, and the best key to prevention is education and information. If children learn how their bodies work, they are more apt to make healthy choices that will give them a head start on a long, healthy life!
