Meet The Good Food Fighter

YOUR NUTRITION BUDDY, RELENTLESS RESEARCHER & CREATOR OF FUN THINGS FOR YOUR KIDS

 

I am America’s food superhero. Have you heard of me? My mission is for kids to grow up healthy and  love nutritious food.

That’s a lofty goal! Luckily, my superpower is to entertain parents and their children while educating them. The world is full of scary information and navigating the food supply is like playing a video game…except that it’s not fun and you usually lose. But I’m fun!!!!! I want to be your friend and ally—your GFF. I want to encourage your kids to try veggies, to discover superfoods, to eat less sugar, and to avoid toxins in the food/water/environment that lead to chronic health issues and disease.

What are my superpowers? 

  • Helping you (and your kids) get off your sugar addiction and fall in love with veggies! 
  • Making healthy food delicious and accessible. 
  • Providing life-changing tips on how to  protect your family from toxins.
  • Entertaining you with investigative stories, kids games, comics, cooking tips, videos, and more. 
  • being your trusted food buddy on your journey to better health.

Good Food Fighter

Where did this !Kapow!-Chick come from? Originally from Boston, I am a graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago and ArtCenter College of Design in CA. I launched my career designing “coffee table” books and innovative printed products for Chronicle Books in San Francisco. Then I created product packaging and cookbooks for Williams Sonoma. Next, I developed and produced a line of therapeutic chocolate-themed gifts, “Boyfriend Replacement“, for lovelorn women. Working with an angel investor in New York City and a national team of 80 sales reps, we sold it into 400 stores. Then I ran my own art portrait photo studio in Austin, TX for 10 years. And now I’m determined to save children from obesity and from all the diseases that stem from it. 

How to battle the beast:  Research increasingly points to diet and lifestyle as contributing factors to many childhood sicknesses and diseases including Diabetes 2 and many forms of cancer, as well as neurological conditions like ADHD and Autism and more.

My work is motivated by data from the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that shows that one third of all Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic. Even more alarming: one third of all women (and half of all men) are expected to get cancer within their lives. We can change this!

My motto is, “You are either eating towards disease or away from it”. I want you to eat away from it….far, far, away. I can help you understand what to do.

What’s my credential? My father is a nuclear physicist at MIT so I’ve been literally bathed in science and research my whole life. My mother read Prevention Magazine, “a medical journal for the people” back in the 70s when they were already warning the public about pesticides in the food supply. She taught me to examine the ingredient list on every grocery product that I buy. Now I’m a certified health and wellness coach who loves reading studies—on the National Institutes of Health website and in dozens of other publications. I have a knack for breaking down the information into easily digestible portions and sharing it with my readers…I do the research so that you don’t have to!!

Here’s to healthy kids and happy families! 

Playing Smoothie Spree, the new Good Food Fighter card game!

Testimonials

The Good Food Fighter (GFF), Nina Miller, is my favorite 21st century superhero in her quest to help kids love nutritious food! GFF’s thoughtful blogs are chock full of important information to help parents decode confusing lists of food additives & understand important issues such as GMOs and pesticides in food.  She provides easy recipes for nutrient-dense meals including how to substitute healthier ingredients for popular meals & snacks. The GFF’s charming sidekick, Chef Sizzle Snap, shares his teen-approved recipes to make veggies more interesting and tasty for kids. My kids LOVE the GFF’s fun card game, Smoothie Spree! They have a blast playing the fast-paced, exciting card game as they learn about new superfoods in the process. As a parent and naturopathic doctor, I’m so thankful to have the GFF in my corner!
–Amy Tyler, Naturopathic Doctor,  Austin, TX 

Smoothie Spree has quickly become a family favorite in our house. It’s easy enough for our youngest to understand (8) and challenging enough for my teenager to not lose interest. The illustrations are clever and cute and I love that the game comes with an added level of education around what foods are “superfoods’ and why. Definitely recommend this game to families who are looking for something that everyone can enjoy and for parents looking to reinforce and support  their kids’ eating habits in a positive way.

—Jane S., Montclaire, NJ

The Good Food Fighter blog is my all-time fave! The timely health and nutrition news always teaches me something new, and always in fun, creative and entertaining ways! Best of all, it’s clear how much research goes into each edition, so I always know it’s information I can trust. Even the most daunting of topics are covered with wit and humor and the takeaways can truly be life-changing.
—Jeneen Schloz, General Manager, Peoples Pharmacy, Austin, TX

I wish I’d had her yummy smoothie and veggie recipes and fun videos when my kids were younger and resistant to healthy food. Nutrition impacts our lives so much more deeply than most of us realize—my kids had all kinds of issues that were related to food. I love that the GFF is preaching from the rooftops— we need more super heroes like her in the world!!
—Barbara G., Boston, MA

Our kids (ages 11, 9, and 7) love card games. They play UNO, War, Exploding Kittens, and several others so when they had a chance to test drive a new game they were very excited. After reading the instructions and learning the rules they were off to the races. The gameplay itself provides a good mix of luck, strategy and skill for our kids’ age group to keep the game fun yet competitive. The design of the cards is also super fun and led to lots of giggles during the course of the action.

—Alen C., Austin, TX

It is such a pleasure to have a resource like the Good Food Fighter to help me out when I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to keep me and my family healthy and strong, especially during this pandemic!  Not only is she a genius when it comes to foods and supplements to keep us well, but she is talented and creative in her many recipes that shares with her followers. I don’t always feel like investigating the best foods to keep my immunity in tip top shape so I appreciate that I can rely on the hard work that the GGF puts into researching the most trustworthy approach to wellness.  Having a resource like this is priceless!
I was recently given a GFF card game called Smoothie Spree as a gift because my girlfriend knows how much I love GFF.  As my family learned and played the game, I appreciated seeing how much healthy food knowledge they were absorbing.  If you teach your children good eating habits when they’re young, it will become a part of who they are and they will be set for life.

—Jodi K., Hillsborough, NJ

The best part about playing Smoothie Spree was hearing the kids get excited about trying some of the smoothie combinations. On more than one occasion I heard: “This is making me hungry for a smoothie!”. So if you’re looking for a fun family card game that will get your kids excited about eating healthy give Smoothie Spree a try!

—Stephanie C., Austin, TX

We had a great time playing. In fact our kids insisted on playing a second time before bed tonight. It’s a fun and educational experience. We learned about new smoothie ingredients and were reminded of ingredients we haven’t had in a while. It will definitely provoke more healthy smoothies in our house. The design and drawings are great and the personification of ingredients adds to the fun.
—Bryan H, Jersey City, NJ

Smoothy Spree is a unique, fun, and educational card game for the whole family! It’s a fun way to learn about nutrition and novel smoothie recipes, as well as supporting skills such as following directions, turn taking, simple math, and flexibility all within the context of a card game. This would be a great holiday or birthday gift, and a great addition to family game night!
