Raising Vibrantly Healthy Children & Families: 12 Simple Tips that WORK! with Susan Smith Jones, PhDFor a woman with three of America’s most ordinary names, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, has made extraordinary contributions in the fields of holistic health, anti-aging, optimum nutrition and balanced living. For starters, she taught students, staff and faculty at UCLA how to be healthy and fit for 30 years! Susan is the founder and president of Health Unlimited, a Los Angeles-based consulting firm dedicated to optimal wellness and human potential. She travels worldwide as a frequent media show guest and healthy living consultant. She is the author of many celebrated books, including her latest 4 books that cover in detail our topic today. First, for children, her new celebrated novelette, an inspiring, value-driven and beautifully illustrated novelette — JOY & THE BUTTERFLY: The Magical Garden, which goes well with her other bestselling and award-winning children’s 2-in-1 nutrition book VEGETABLE SOUP/THE FRUIT BOWL. And then for adults, there’s her dynamic duo with UPLIFTED and A HUG IN A MUG.Raising healthy children can be a very daunting and challenging task in this day and age   with so many activities, poor food choices,   sitting too long in front of the computer,    smart phone and other screens,    peer pressure from friends and much more.      Our guest today, holistic health and lifestyle expert, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, has worked with parents and children for decades worldwide    and will offer her best tips on how to raise healthy children – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.     These tips will also apply in your life, too,    whether you have children or not.   So, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nannies, caretakers, neighbors, and anyone of any age who wants to experience vibrant health on all levels,  keep a pen and paper handy because you’ll want to take notes.As Susan teaches in JOY & THE BUTTERFLY and UPLIFTED,   when children experience a parent who reacts with kindness and prioritizes healthy living,   they learn to act the same way    — thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, healthier future.    A more compassionate and robust world starts with kind, healthy kids.SusanSmithJones.comX@SusanSmithJoneshttps://www.instagram.com/susansmithjonesphdhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/ssj142.mp3
