Todays Episode is an interview with Al Thursfield, a food-loving entrepreneur from Byron Bay. In 2017, Al launched Daily Food, a snack brand that makes fun, functional and delicious snacks designed to help people fall in love with food again.


Al's journey to establishing her brand is a deeply personal one, rooted in her own battle with an eating disorder during her adolescent years. She didn't recognise it at the time, but the toxic diet culture of the 90s and 00s significantly influenced Al’s relationship with food and her body which, unfortunately, is an experience so many can relate to. Today, while less overt, toxic diet culture and its impacts are still felt. Through Daily Food, Al is on a mission to change that.


Daily Food makes functional, fun and delicious snacks that aim to inspire happier and healthier lives. Al is passionate about bringing joy back to the way we talk and think about food, and this shines through in our conversation today.


In our interview, we dive into:

- Her why and mission behind starting daily food.

- Her experience of an eating disorder and the isolation it causes.

- Her journey to recovery.

- Her intention to support people to find joy in sharing food with friends and family and shifting the way we look at food, seeing it as something to celebrate rather than a cause for anxiety.

- The impact of social media on young girls.

- How we speak to ourselves in front of our children.

- The You and Food survey and starting the conversation.

- Her business journey with Daily Food and how she has navigated the challenges.
