This week, Joy chats with Kate Taylor Martin, founder of nutbar, the world’s first superfood cafe. While studying nutrition at the institute of holistic nutrition, Kate began to dream up a concept for a healthy cafe in Toronto – one which would replace the typical coffee shop fare of muffins, donuts and croissants, with alternatives that were still delicious but also good for you. She built nutbar around a holistic approach to health and the basic foundation of focusing on real, whole food.
In this episode Kate shares how she was inspired to create a community space that served nourishing, whole foods to busy people on-the-go so they can truly thrive. She gets vulnerable about what it’s like being a full-time entrepreneur and mom to three small children and the challenges of both. You’ll love her practical tips for developing non-negotiable healthy living routines!
