#130.5: Confidently Nourish Your Children with Brenda Davis and Dr. Reshma Shah
“In this book, we wanted to provide the answers to all the questions parents may have. Whether they are already fully plant-based or they’re just beginning their journey. So that they can do it with confidence, with a sense of joy, and without anxiety and fear.” -Dr. Reshma Shah
Brenda Davis and Dr. Reshma Shah have written the book that parents have been waiting for! An amazing resource for raising plant-based children and feeding a plant-based family! Dr. Shah knew that this was needed because she saw the gap in the training in many other physicians and many families were feeling like they lacked resources to guide them on this journey. Well now, the book is here! Nourish: The Definitive Plant-Based Nutrition Guide for Families was release in November so get your copy ASAP.
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, we discuss their book and many other topics related to raising plant-based kids.
We discuss:
