Give Employees and/or Participants a Wellness Conversation They’ll Actually Remember
What Is Hire Your Food?
Every day, we make food decisions automatically, but what if each meal is a hiring decision?
What if we are hiring food to do jobs for us for comfort, reward, energy, belonging, coping, or identity?
What happens when we switch questions from:
“Is this healthy?”
to:
“What job am I hiring this food to do?”
Everything shifts.

the Hire Your Food framework before discussing it with your organization?
Free LIVE sessions
Choice of November 18 or 19
60 minutes, 20 participants/session
Hire Your Food turns everyday eating decisions into a funny, practical conversation about behavior, identity, and leadership without calorie counting, guilt, or food shaming.
Knowing More Isn't Always the Solution
Most workplace nutrition programs or workshops give people more information, but people are not making food decisions in a classroom.
They're making them while stressed, tired, overly busy, traveling, celebrating, socializing, or trying to get through a demanding day.
The challenge isn't only knowing what is healthy.
It's understanding what job the food is being hired to do.
A Different Kind of Wellness Experience
Participants learn to see food as a candidate competing for a job.
Through humour, discussion, and interactive exercises, we explore questions like:
-
What job is this food doing for me?
-
Why does this candidate keep getting hired?
-
What makes another candidate difficult to hire?
-
Who is actually making the decision: Me, willpower, habit, stress, or marketing?
And ultimately:
-
What kind of food team do I want to build for Body Inc.?

Hire Your Food Workshop Descriptions
Mission Impossible Inspired: Recruit Your Team
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Identify the real job food needs to do, then recruit the best candidate. Because in Body Inc., “healthy” is not enough—the hire, has to actually complete the mission.
Survivor Inspired: Food Island
Your team is stranded with only five food hires for the year. Build the strongest Body Inc. crew, then watch the microbiome vote someone off the island.
Shark Tank Inspired: Pitch Your Food
Food candidates enter the tank and make their case for getting hired. The twist? The “best” candidate changes completely once you discover the job that actually needs doing.
The Board Meeting
Brain, Heart, Liver, Muscles, and Microbiome finally get a vote on your food choices. Spoiler: They do not always agree with the CEO, or with each other.
Food Portfolio Manager
Forget perfect eating. Participants build a diversified food portfolio designed to keep Body Inc. performing when the market, or the afternoon energy slump, gets volatile.
Love is Blind Inspired: The Craving Negotiation
Instead of declaring war on the 10 p.m. ice-cream or cookie craving, we interview it. Participants uncover the job hiding behind the craving and explore who else might be qualified for the position.
What Participants Take Away
A New Language for Food Choices
Participants understand the emotional, functional, social, and identity jobs food can perform.
A Practical Decision Tool
They leave with a question framework they can immediately use.
Less Judgment, More Curiosity
Food moves away from “good versus bad” and towards understanding performance and fit.
Greater Awareness of Outside Influences
Participants explore how habit, social context, and food marketing influence hiring decisions.
A Memorable Metaphor
Body Inc., Willpower, food candidates, and job interviews make complex ideas easier to remember, share, and put into practice.
