Why I'm Starting a Beef with the NICE People
The Stronger Minds podcast is hosted by Kimberley Wilson

The average full term baby weighs just over 7lbs. One pound of that is the baby’s brain. Nature, via the mother’s body, devotes enormous amounts of energy into building the baby’s brain during and just after pregnancy. The brain is the hungriest organ in the body and requires specific nutrients from the diet for proper structure and function.

In this week’s episode Kimberley Wilson is starting a teeny tiny beef with NICE.
