We cover the specific lab tests that can identify gut dysfunction, mineral imbalances, food sensitivities, heavy metals, and chemical exposures in children, why dairy and gluten rotation matters more than full elimination, how a disrupted gut microbiome increases a child's propensity for food allergies, and how Joy built a family cookbook around single-ingredient whole foods that kids actually want to eat.

May 29, 2026 Your Kid Eats 3x More Than You — So What's in Their Food Matters 3x More | Liana Werner-Gray
Your four-year-old's meltdowns, your seven-year-old's anxiety before tests, your own brain fog every morning. What if the common thread is sitting in your pantry right now?
