What if one basic skill could not only help deter your children from picky eating but also protect their lifelong health? I’m pretty sure every parent would want in on that class!
In this episode, we’re exploring how teaching kids how to COOK could play a pivotal role when it comes to ending both the processed food and picky eating epidemics, which are quietly robbing our children of their right to live long lives—in good health.
In today’s conversation we cover:

What if you could FEEL HAPPIER and HEALTHIER in just 15 days? Holistic nutritionist Riyana Rupani's program "Clean-in-15" can help you do just that AND today, she's also sharing top tips to raise healthy kids in this highly processed world.
As a US expat now living in Singapore and a mom of 3, she sheds light on "kid food culture" in Singapore: what's similar, what's different and how she hopes to help future generations thrive.
After healing her own health issues, Riyana launched Everiday Foods out of her own desire to enjoy Singapore's most popular condiments and gluten free foods, but without the inflammatory ingredients typically used to make them. Three cheers for chili crisp made with olive oil, right?!?

Has this momprenuer discovered "the secret sauce" to helping parents raise adventurous eaters while deterring picky eating habits? Listen in to decide for yourself!
Did you know the sooner we expose our kids to a wider variety of flavors, the less likely they are to develop picky eating habits? But sadly typical American "kid food" culture only represents sweet, salty and fatty—leaving most kids unfamiliar with the bitter, sour and umami—flavor profiles that exist in so many nutrient rich vegetables and other whole foods.
Jill Weissman, mom and founder of Beyond the Bib, is on a mission to help expand children's palates early in life with nutrient dense, savory sauces the whole family can enjoy, made with ONLY pure, whole, clean ingredients.
But WHY do we need another sauce company, you might be wondering? Jill, who previously sourced ingredients for a very well-known organic baby-food company, tells us EXACTLY WHY and HOW her approach can help us raise "omni-eaters" in our candid, mom to mom convo. If you have kids at home, this episode is a must.

Why has something SO PRIMAL—teaching our kids to eat foods that help them thrive—become SO HARD and WHAT EXACTLY can WE DO COLLECTIVELY to change this?
Meet my guest Megan Ferney, a mama, trained chef and registered dietitian. Even with epic cooking skills and a deep knowledge of nutrition, feeding her 3 littles the way she really wants to STILL FEELS HARDER than it should be due to our current kid food culture which makes feeding our kids healthy foods a daily uphill battle.
In episode 14, listen to my super honest conversation with Megan around adopting new cultural norms when it comes to feeding our kids, to make everything about helping our families EAT WELL, not only doable, but enjoyable.

Many veggies start with "C" but these 3 are VIV (very important vegetables) for gut health and today I'm sharing WHY and HOW to help your fam learn to love 'em!
Today, our SPOTLIGHT vegetables starting with the letter C are:
We chose the two cruciferous veggies—cauliflower and cabbage—since they are uniquely powerful when it comes to promoting gut health. You see, these guys are rich in fiber, contain anti-inflammatory compounds, support detoxification, and contain vitamins and minerals crucial for maintaining a healthy gut lining and supporting digestive processes.
We're also throwing chard a lotta LOVE. Chard is this epic but underused green that's a great "gateway" green to help kids move beyond spinach and start enjoying more greens because it's softer and less bitter than most kale.
GREENS are like the GOLD of vegetables for too many reasons to count. Packed with phytonutrients, essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they support overall whole health, boost immunity, aid digestion, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. They're also high in fiber, making them great for promoting a healthy gut. Um… pass the greens, thanks.
