As our country embraces an amazing new grassroots health movement for our families, we will also be looking at healthy foods, weight, and childhood obesity. I, for one, am 100% on board for this, as I am one of many in my generation facing the results of an unhealthy America. We have chronic diseases, struggle with our weight, and deal with inflammation, all while helping our kids who struggle with nuerodivergencies from the same food issues.

This episode is packed with great information on homesteading, homeschooling, and how health can look different for everyone.

I had an appointment with my general practitioner last week. She told me about all the moms that come through her office with anxiety over what to feed their kids. Every day, new information exposes new dangers in our food supply, causing new (and seasoned moms) to question what they are putting on their tables.
