Feeding kids well is foundational to health—but real-life meals can feel hard. Pediatrician Dr. Reshma Shah, co-author of Nourish: The Definitive Plant-Based Nutrition Guide for Families, joins Jessica to share simple, evidence-based ways to make family meals more nourishing and less stressful. We cover how to “add in” plants without power struggles, realistic swaps kids accept, why fiber is the real gap for most children, what actually keeps kids full (protein + fat + fiber), and a no-drama take on supplements (B12 for vegan kids, vitamin D for many, calcium via fortified milks, DHA/EPA considerations, and using iodized salt). Plus: how to stop feeding anxiety at the table and play the long game with picky eaters.
