Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast, where we provide one lesson every single day to help you with your most important job, being a parent.

Look, you want to make sure your kids are getting the nutrients they need, but that's not always

slash daily dad to get your kids the full-body nourishment they need to grow into healthy adults.
