Childhood obesity and a charity called Shift with Lucy Paterson

I met Lucy Paterson in my early 20’s working at a kids sports summer camp in the U.S.

We share very similar interests in terms of nutrition and exercise and I really like her analytical and caring personality.

She is extreamly intelligent and very experianced when it comes to speaking about childhood obesity and it is my pleasure to bring you this in depth conversation.

In this episode you will hear all about Lucys work with a Charity called Shift.

Shift design products and build social ventures to help solve social problems.

Below are all of the links to the information Lucy spoke about.
