Food Paradigm

We help children transcend their quality of life by revolutionizing school lunches and providing education about real food.

Food Paradigm builds and implements a collaborative, real-food school lunch program. This tailored program is rooted in functional, evidence-based principles, for an immediate positive impact on learning, as well as teaching children and caregivers that adopting healthy food habits will support a lifetime of physical, mental, and social health.

The founders of Food Paradigm are parents who have seen the transformative impact that solid nutrition has on a child’s life. Children deserve our best efforts to ensure their greatest quality of life is met now and forever.

As a former engineer and current Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Thursall is in a unique position to lead the team as Co-Executive Director of Food Paradigm. Her experience working with complex software systems naturally shaped how she would later dig into understanding the body systems. Thursall brings a wealth of holistic nutrition knowledge to Food Paradigm which has deeply influenced her desire to help children experience real food and improved health impacts. School lunches have been a complex problem for decades and are in desperate need of practical and nutritional solutions. Powered by love and a caring nature, Thursall intends to use her love of learning, project management and relationship building skills to lead Food Paradigm towards a brighter future for the children.
