Creating a Culture of Health in Your Family
The podcast episode discusses the importance of creating a culture of health within families. The speaker emphasizes that families who eat together more often consume more vital nutrients, consume less ultra-processed foods, and have lower rates of obesity and eating disorders. The episode also highlights the need to prioritize generational health and to think about the conditions and resources we are providing for future generations. By taking control of controllable factors such as family meals and kitchen culture, we can influence positive change not just for ourselves, but for our communities.
Choosing Health-Affirming Investments
The episode stresses the importance of investing in health-affirming actions and resources. It encourages listeners to shift their focus from fighting against entities and systems to creating a culture of health within their families. By making conscious choices that prioritize health and investing in resources like quality cookware, we can protect ourselves and future generations from the negative impacts of chronic diseases, obesity, and other health issues.
The Power of Family Meals and Relationships
The podcast episode highlights the benefits of regular family meals and the impact they have on overall health and wellness. Research shows that families who eat together more often consume more vital nutrients, have lower rates of obesity and eating disorders, and forge stronger family connections. The speaker emphasizes the need to prioritize family mealtime as an opportunity for communication, problem-solving, and unity. By creating a culture of health within our households and sharing the experience of meals together, we can set an example for future generations and create positive change in our communities.
Every family has its own microculture: a set of beliefs, habits, values, and traditions. Among the numerous external factors that can influence your health and wellbeing, the culture in your household can have a monumental impact on your daily habits. But unlike many other environmental influences, you have the power to intentionally mold your family’s culture.
This episode is my interview on Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning. I’m diving into topics like how your environment shapes your behaviors, and the power we each have to create a culture of health in our families.

The best way to begin shifting our culture at large is to start with what we can control: ourselves and our own homes. I hope this episode empowers you to cultivate a family culture of wellness, and arms you with the information and tools you need to positively impact the world around you. Enjoy!
