In This Episode:  We all know that kids are awesome, but the truth is they are still learning who they are. As they go through school at a younger age, they encounter different kids...kids that live differently, look differently and even eat differently. So we took two fifth graders, one vegan and one not...and had a discussion about it. And the insights were great. Listen in!

In This Episode:  As a busy family of five, our journey to a vegan diet has been one of patience, compassion and love. At times, however, even the most patient person can feel frustrated when they are met with someone who questions the way they eat. Food is very personal and as parents, it’s our job to teach our kids not only how to choose a life of compassion and caring by eating a vegan diet, but also to encourage our kids to lead by example and be open to inclusive conversations about the way they eat, rather than shaming or judging others who might not eat the same as us. 1. Educate Your Kids At Home On Why You Have Chosen To Eat A Vegan Diet Education starts at home. I have found that a healthy combination of education and what I call “parental marketing,” helps my kids connect to the food they are eating and the health benefits associated with it. The education portion to me is the “why.” Why has your family chosen to live a vegan lifestyle? Talk through this with your kids and really make sure they ful

In This Episode:  Cory and Izzy hop on to share some quick and easy vegan brands that you might not have known are vegan! Keep in mind that although these brands are vegan, it doesn't necessarily mean you should eat them all the time, so be sure to eat them sparingly. If you are on a whole food, plant-based diet exclusively, these are NOT for you. These are for those in-laws or parents that DO NOT understand your vegan diet. If these are on hand at their house, the kids can have a nice snack at Grandma's house from time to time. (although a nicely cut apple never hurt anyone either, LOL) Thanks for listening and watching.  Let us know if you like this format of shorter episodes and we will see ya soon! Much love from our Lean Green Dad Family!

IN THIS EPISODE: Eating food and the events that surround eating food can be very emotional. As a child, my mom cooked warm meals for me all the time. Of course it tastes great and feels great to eat, but I see now more than ever how satisfying it is for the parent to know that their child is eating a nourishing, satisfying meal. When my family decided to adopt a plant-based lifestyle, it was a tough transition for both sides of our extended family. It seemed to happen in phases. First came questions of clarity on what we were not “allowed” to eat. Then came the question of why, which was shortly followed by frustration, anger, sadness, and a bunch of other emotions. Did this mean that family dinners at our house were cancelled? How would we eat out at a restaurant together? Can our family give our kids a cookie if they want it? What about Grandma’s special treat jar? These and many other questions are all valid and must be addressed one by one with your family. TO GET LEAN GREEN DAD'S FIRST EBOOK ON AMAZON: 

IN THIS EPISODE: At his core, Dr. Joel Kahn believes that plant-based nutrition is the most powerful source of preventative medicine on the planet. Having practiced traditional cardiology since 1983, it was only after his own commitment to a plant based vegan diet that he truly began to delve into the realm of non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics and nutrition-based recovery protocols. These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. He passionately lectures throughout the country about the health benefits of a plant-based anti-aging diet inspiring a new generation of thought leaders to think scientifically and critically about the body’s ability to heal itself through proper nutrition. One of the world’s top cardiologists, Dr. Joel Kahn has treated thousands of acute heart attacks during his career. He’d like all that to stop. He’d like to prevent ALL future heart attacks by breaking through to the public to educate and inspire a new holistic lifesty
