Summary

When feeding your family feels confusing and chaotic, this episode is your reset. Functional-medicine dietitian Ali Miller (RD, LD, CDE) shows how to move from “immediate” choices to environmental shifts to true habit rewiring—simplifying dinner with 5–7-minute protein sears, sheet-pan veggies, and one slow-cook a week. We talk “God foods” vs. ultra-processed products, why kids’ moods track their blood sugar, and how to make your kitchen the hearth again—less frantic, more joyful. Ali’s brand-new book, Naturally Nourished Kids turns big ideas into doable family routines (like bone-broth queso, cabbage chips, and rainbow sheet-pans). We also dig into guiding teens toward ownership (guided choices, smart carb-plus-protein pairings), and how probiotics + mineral-rich bone broth support calmer brains and sturdier immune systems. For a deeper dive into food-as-medicine and anxiety, explore Ali’s Anti-Anxiety Diet resources and her Naturally Nourished Podcast. Then queue up this episode on your favorite app and pass it along—because a calmer kitchen can change a whole household. A huge thank you to our sponsors!
