LISTEN TO THE FOOD ISSUES PODCAST
With hundreds of thousands of Americans dying each year from obesity, type-2 diabetes, and a slew of chronic health conditions—all a direct result of food inequities, a broken food culture, and food marketing, and worsened by COVID-19, a significant shift in how we think about food and how we feed our kids must happen now if we want to change the trajectory of health for our kids. Food Issues hosted by health journalist and blogger Julie Revelant features interviews with authors, researchers, healthy food advocates, and thought leaders who want to educate, inspire, and empower organizations, parents, and local communities to create real, lasting change and ensure a healthier future for our kids. Through profound conversations that uncover the real issues affecting families coupled with easy, practical tips for parents, this podcast is the place to change our kids’ futures.
With the kids back in school, it’s almost inevitable that they’re going to get sick. Kids, especially toddlers and preschoolers, are swapping germs all day long and their hand-washing habits usually aren’t ideal. Plus, the foods your kids eat, how much sleep and activity they get, and stress all have a lot to do with their immune systems. Fortunately, there are several easy ways to boost your child’s immune system and they don’t have to take a lot of time or effort.
In this episode, I sat down with Taz Bhatia, M.D., a board-certified integrative medicine physician, wellness expert, and founder of CentreSpring MD, an award-winning medical and wellness practice in Atlanta, GA focused on health transformation.
Dr. Taz is also the best-selling author of, “What Doctors Eat,” “The 21-Day Belly Fix,” and “Super Woman RX.” She has also appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America, and CNN, is a contributor for FOX Good Day Atlanta, and is the host of the Super Woman Wellness podcast.
Dr. Taz provides the latest updates on COVID-19, vaccines, and monkeypox and gives you everything you need to know about how to boost your child’s immune system. She explores nutrition and the best superfoods to focus on, which vitamins, supplements, and probiotics your kids need, how to help your child be more active, and what you can do to help your child with stress, anxiety, and sleep.
