"Currently in the US, children are deriving 70% of their calories  food from ultra-processed foods and animal products"

Today we welcome pediatrician, Dr. Yami, who not only supports a plant-based lifestyle for you and your family, but wants to help us avoid the pitfalls of accidentally passing on diet culture to our kids. She discusses her book called “A Parent’s Guide to Intuitive Eating: How to Raise Kids Who Love to Eat Healthy”. She outlines the 5 important pillars of intuitive eating for kids: 

  1. Honor hunger and satiety 
  2. Emphasize whole plant foods 
  3. Establishing a positive environment 
  4. Be flexible 
  5. Relax and have fun 

Dr. Yami is a board-certified pediatrician, certified lifestyle medicine physician, national board-certified health and wellness coach, author and international speaker. She is a passionate promoter of healthy lifestyles, especially the power of plant-based diets for the prevention of chronic disease. She founded VeggieFitKids.com where she provides information on plant-based diets for children. She also hosts the popular podcast, Veggie Doctor Radio, which boasts listeners from 96 countries and nearly half a million downloads to date. 

She is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, has a certificate in plant-based nutrition and is a certified Food for Life Instructor. Dr. Yami owns Nourish Wellness, a pediatric micro-practice in Yakima, Washington where she lives with her husband and two active sons.
