In this episode, we hosted Kelly LeVeque, a holistic nutritionist and author of "Body Love." She shares insights on balancing blood sugar for health and weight management, and her "Fab Four" formula (protein, fat, fiber, greens) for meal creation. Emphasizing protein's role in satiety and postpartum recovery, Kelly also discusses introducing diverse foods to children and the benefits of involving them in meal prep. Her practical, scientifically-backed approach to nutrition caters to family health. Kelly's resources, including courses on blood sugar balance and Fab Four smoothies, are available at Be Well by Kelly and kellyleveque.com.
