Opt in to health

It all started for Jemma O'Hanlon when she was just three years old, whipping up delicious recipes in the kitchen with her Mum. As a little girl, her Mum could never get her out of the kitchen. She had a soft spot for sweets and licking the bowl was always the best part. Her dream was to have her own cooking show. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, she was madly scribbling down recipes as she watched celebrity chefs whip up a storm on the TV. Afterwards, she would bound into the kitchen, excited to cook and find a way to add a healthy twist to the dish.It was on Channel 10’s My Market Kitchen that her dream first came true, taking the program’s audience on a journey from farm to fork. Fast forward to today, where cooking remains a huge part of her life. It’s how she shares special moments with loved ones and nothing brings her more joy than inspiring others to find health & happiness through food.With almost two decades of experience across the public health, food production, food manufacturing and foodservice sectors, Jemma works with businesses to drive growth through health. For over a decade, she has worked in the media to bust nutrition myths and comment on topical nutrition matters, from the latest fad diet, to research breakthroughs and the big issues affecting the health of Australians. Her call out to all people, is to opt in to health at a time when it is increasingly more difficult to do so.We get feisty and passionate in this conversation as we discuss the devastating effect of the AFL's choice to use McDonalds as a sponsor and then use athletes to advertise products that can only cause harm to young Australians.
