59. How to Raise a Healthy Eater Without Becoming the Food Police with Craig McCloskey
Feeding kids has become way more complicated than it should be. After building Serenity Kids around nutrient-dense ingredients, I’ve seen how much fear, confusion, and bad advice parents are handed around baby nutrition, first foods, healthy fats, organ meats, and processed food.
Craig McCloskey and I get into the deeper question underneath all of it: how do we nourish our families without turning food into stress, control, or guilt? We talk about ancestral health, raw milk, nutrient-dense foods, postpartum nutrition, and how new dads can build a home where real food feels normal.
Inside this episode:•
How can a baby’s first foods shape their taste, health, and picky eating
How organ meats, bone broth, eggs, meat, and dairy support growing kids
Why babies need healthy fats more than most parents realize
What ancestral health looks like in a normal family kitchen
How to avoid ultra-processed foods without creating food fear
Why dads can model better nutrition through structure, not control
