002: A Pediatrician Speaks on What Kids Should Eat with Dr. Elisa Song

Healthy Parenting Handbook with Katie Kimball

We all know that most pediatricians get about 2 hours of nutrition training, which means some of them give food advice and probably shouldn’t and most don’t bother with food at all.

But FOOD is the ROOT CAUSE of so much of what ails our kids!

Dr. Song goes above and beyond normal MD training with all her holistic background and she’s 150% qualified to tell us a little about our kids’ diets.

Today we’ll talk about:

• What has changed in the “kid food” scene in the last 50 years
• What is the worst “food” kids are eating these days
• How food additives can affect behavior
• What kids should be eating to fuel their bodies
• Practical tips for how we as parents can feed our kids well (and teach them to make healthy choices for themselves!)

Don’t you just love Dr. Song? She’s about the only reason I’d ever consider moving to California, just so that she could be our kids’ doctor. I’m so honored to share her wisdom with you today!!!
