Eat Your Greens with Dr. Black | plant-based nutrition for the whole family
This podcast is all about the power of a plant-based diet to prevent, treat, and sometimes even reverse many of the chronic health issues plaguing both adults and children alike. As a pediatrician, I'm passionate about supporting families in their efforts to give their children a solid foundation of healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. We will discuss hot topics in infant, child, and teen nutrition, bust common myths about feeding kids, learn how to turn a picky eater into a foodie, and dive into the evidence supporting the ways a plant-based diet can empower you to achieve your health goals.
