In this inspiring episode of You’re the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with registered dietitian Ali Miller, RD, LD, CDE to explore the life-changing power of real food for children and families.

From baby-led weaning and organ meats to handling busy schedules and sports season meal planning, this episode is a blueprint for parents who want to raise healthy kids in today’s convenience-driven world. Whether you’re a new parent, seasoned caregiver, or grandparent looking to pass on lasting health habits, you’ll walk away empowered and equipped to make nourishing choices that truly matter.
