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.

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.
