My guest today is the brilliant Dr. Steven Lin, a board-certified and accredited dentist, speaker, and author who is frustrated by the dental profession's limited approach to applying practices without addressing the root cause. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of Weston A. Price, Dr. Lin has focused on oral health as the key to overall well being, now seeing the mouth as a diagnostic tool for the rest of the body.We talk about how important diet is to oral health and highlight the mini immune system in our mouths, kids’ health tips as they relate to bone density and learning healthy oral care habits, tooth decay during pregnancy, and a surprising study – with cats as the subject – that illustrates generational harm caused by the degradation of food fresh quality, affordability, and availability. You will learn about...Exploring the work of  Weston A.

It’s no secret that school lunches have been in decline for decades. Chances are, the food you remember from school would give you nightmares if your child’s cafeteria served it in 2022. Yes, Michelle Obama did some good work in the space – and progress has been made. But as we learn today, there’s a lot of work left to do when we’re talking about truly healthy school lunches.My guest today, Barbara Mechura, school nutrition director and holistic health coach, has dedicated her career to shifting this narrative toward scratch-made meals. We learn that, while it’s certainly more work, these mindfully prepared meals lead to a better outcome for everyone involved (students and staff). It’s time we stopped taking the easy way out with pre-packaged convenience foods that create serious long-term problems for students’ health. Barbara shares how we can get involved in our school district’s food decisions, and that they probably need our help.You will learn about...Barbara’s backgroundNegative impact of processed school lunches The work that goes into from-scratch school mealsWhat parents can do to help their school systemTips for distracted eatingFocusing during mealtimeResources:LinkedIn: Barbara MechuraTwitter: @bmechuraThe Lunchbox from Chef AnnConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced and published by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.Drink LMNTLMNT | Go to DrinkLMNT.com/Kelly to order a free sample pack of LMNT electrolytes.

Feeding kids is hard, even when you’re an expert in the field. Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietician and has a Master's of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her journey with childhood feeding started when her 3-year old, as she says, fell off the growth chart. What she discovered included more questions than answers – at first.In 2017, she founded Kids Eat In Color, a popular online resource that helps children and families from all backgrounds have better nutrition and mental health via access to expert, actionable information. Prior to starting Kids Eat In Color, she coordinated youth nutrition programs at a food bank, performed research in inner city food deserts, and consulted for the USDA.Our conversation is another mom-centric goldmine of real world advice and reliability. Jennifer and her brand take all parents as they are; no food is good or bad – and if you did your best, what you did was good. Even if our hurdles, and those of our kids, seem unique at the moment – we’re all in this together.You will learn about...How Jennifer got into children’s nutrition Strategy vs. control with eating habits Raising competent eaters Using positive framing and avoiding confrontationParenting with a thick skin Emergency meals (eggs are a safe bet)Discussing nutrition with your kidsKnowing that your best is good  Resources:Kids Eat in ColorLearn: BetterBites® CoursesInstagram: @kids.eat.in.colorLinkedIn: Jennifer Anderson MSPH, RDNConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyMentioned in this episode:Drink LMNTLMNT | Go to DrinkLMNT.com/Kelly to order a free sample pack of LMNT electrolytes.
