The lifestyle we build for ourselves and our families largely determines our health and happiness.
What our kids eat, what goes on the family table – that's up to us. Parents and caregivers have an amazing opportunity to not only take charge of their kids' health but teach them taste, culture and a love of healthy food that will benefit them for a lifetime.
I'm Dr. Jackie Busse, a board-certified pediatrician with expertise in evidence-based lifestyle and preventative medicine. I focus on the power of whole-food, plant-based nutrition to prevent and reverse disease.
Children raised on a whole food, plant-based diet not only enjoy normal growth and development, they benefit from lower rates of:
atopic diseases including asthma, allergies and eczema
constipation
obesity
type 2 diabetes
upper respiratory infections such as sinus and ear infections
headaches and migraines
acne
early onset heart disease and high blood pressure
mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and poor attention
lifetime cancer risk
