Dairy Nutrition for Growth and Development

from Fill Your Plate NOW · host Julie Murphree and Tammy Baker

In today's conversation, we'll explore the role of dairy throughout the lifecycle—from infancy and childhood to adulthood and healthy aging. Joining us is Lauren Peña, a registered dietitian nutritionist with a master's degree in organizational leadership whose career has been dedicated to advancing nutrition education, promoting healthier communities, and translating evidence-based nutrition science into practical guidance. Lauren serves as the Manager of Nutrition and Sustainability at the Dairy Council of Arizona, where she works to educate healthcare professionals and the public about dairy's role in health, address food insecurity, and promote sustainable dairy practices. Together, we'll discuss the essential nutrients dairy provides, how dairy recommendations change across different stages of life, common myths and misconceptions, and practical strategies for incorporating dairy into a balanced eating pattern. Whether you're a healthcare professional, parent, educator, or simply interested in nutrition, this episode offers science-based insights and practical takeaways to support healthy eating at every age.
