Earth Food First

This is the podcast that helps you protect your children's WHOLE HEALTH: body, mind and mood, through food. At Earth Food First, our mission is to reimagine America’s kid food culture! Want to raise veggie lovers, learn how food affects mood, transform “picky-eaters” into “learning eaters,” say good-bye to mealtime drama and learn the recipe to embrace FARM FOOD over FACTORY FOOD? You, my friend, are in the right place! Every Thursday, integrative nutrition coach, cookbook author and toddler mama Lindsay Navama dishes up actionable, unconventional and outside the cereal box ways to help you feed your children the way you really want to—using FOOD as a TOOL to protect their both mental and health, not to mention reduce melt-downs, increase focus and so much more. Despite knowing more than ever before about the critical role food plays in protecting lifelong health, the mental and physical wellness of our youngest citizens has been declining at an alarming rate, according to the CDC, with ⅓ of kids in America being diagnosed with obesity and serious depression having increased among young people by 40% in the last decade. What’s going on?! We have a serious CULTURE PROBLEM. America’s current kid-food culture makes it WILDLY EASY for young people to become addicted to highly processed, factory food early in life and simultaneously VERY DIFFICULT for parents to teach their children to eat the whole, earth foods that actually protect their mental & physical health. If we continue down this processed path, our children’s health will continue to decline, earlier and earlier in life. OR, we can educate ourselves and CHOOSE to rewrite the future, where FARM FOODS once again become the norm and factory foods are forced to be held to higher, healthy standards to earn a SMALL place on our plates and in our lives. Join us weekly for candid conversations with expert guests from around the globe, as we educate, debate and ultimately create a NEW FAMILY FOOD culture, together. We’re excited you’re here and thanks in advance for being BOLD! Join the movement @earthfoodfirst on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/earthfoodfirst/
