One of the most important gifts we can give to our children is our presence. Our presence to them and our presence to ourselves as an example of being human.

Do this one thing and your kids will be excited to eat their veggie and other healthy foods you want them to.  We all love to create, it is in our nature as humans.  When we include our kids in the process they become invested and have the desire to eat 

Sally Fallon Morell of The Weston A Price Foundation shares with us about the best nutrition practices for raising the healthiest most robust children possible.  She draws on her extensive experience and research base to share with us the most important things to eat and to avoid as we navigate our way through this modern jungle of food and food choices.

In this solo episode we dive deep into the concept of how important it is to be the example of a healthy lifestyle for our kids.  I examine what it really means to be an example and what we should be exemplifying to our kids about food.

I’m Deborah Morgan, creator of Kids Health Revolution and fierce mama bear to one busy little boy.  It is excruciating to watch our kids struggle with health issues, feeling helpless. My son was two when we got the news that he had an autoimmune condition. It was even more devastating to be told we would just have to live with it and that it might get worse. I struggled with it for a long time and spent countless hours doing research, reading scientific articles, attending seminars and online summits and even went back to school! We’ve spent thousands of dollars with functional medicine doctors and naturopaths. It was overwhelming and there were moments I almost threw my hands up and gave up. But I didn't and my son’s autoimmune symptoms have been steadily improving! Now I understand that we are not powerless to improve our children's health. I helped my son when everyone told me I couldn't. Now it is my labour of love to ensure that no parent misses the chance to make a difference in their child's health! Together we can make an enormous impact on the health and future of our children.
