Summary

Processed, fast, and pseudo foods dominate the market. How can we nourish our children differently, even ancestrally? 

Danny and Maura Vega of "The Fat Fueled Family" podcast and website, dish out the realities of feeding their family with a ketogenic, ancestral-style diet. They go into what prompted them to start eating and living this way, how it affects their children and their lives as a whole.

They talk about the changes they've seen in their children's health as they made the transition, how they equip their kids to handle peer pressure when it comes to their diet, and what their family's must-have foods are.

This kicks off a summer 6-week series of bonus episodes, with a special emphasis on parenting.
