Corey and I wanted to share our thoughts on the three, wonderful episodes we recorded with Mary Ruddick, Deborah Macnamara, and Sally Fallon Morell. We dove into the key takeaways from our conversations with each guest, explored how each episode resonated with our own personal parenting philosophies, and even shared a little behind the scenes snippets.

Corey and I were thrilled to interview the president and co-founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, Sally Fallon Morell. In this episode we delve into the history of when Sally first read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, her inspiration for writing Nourishing Traditions, and then how she started the foundation.

In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Deborah MacNamara, author of the book: Nourished– She talks about how food has been divorced from connection and it was never meant to be this way. In today’s society, we are worrying too much about WHAT to feed our families and forgetting to focus on our relationships. If you are a mama struggling with obsessing over what to feed your child, this episode is a breath of fresh air and will empower you to feel confident in your choices and know that your relationship with your child supersedes the food they are eating. This episode is a must-list and we think the combination of Mary Ruddick’s episode and this one complement each other perfectly.    Previous Episodes Mentioned How to Love Organ Meats with Janine Farzin Unearthing Ancestral Wisdom with Mary Ruddick   Recipes Mentioned Serious Eats Steak and Kidney Tartlet New York Times Cooking   Resources Mentioned Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility Neufeld Institute   Connect with Deborah Deborah Macnamara Facebook instagram
