Introduction to Green Light, Yellow Light, and Red Light Foods

Hello, fellow wizards! My name is Dr. Rachna Rekhi and I am a pediatrician and a mom of two wonderful children, Maya and Neal. As a pediatrician, I am tired of focusing on disease management. I want to practice true healthcare and focus on the physical, mental, and social well-being of both children and adults. I am seeing children present with chronic illnesses at younger and younger ages, largely owing to their lifestyle. As a doctor I have realized that though most people WANT to be healthy they aren't quite sure how to get there, partly because of all the confusing information and partly because they don't know where to start. I see a lot of resistance from families. Often they feel that making positive changes will be too difficult, expensive, or time-consuming. Making changes when we are already set in our ways is hard! As a mother I have realized that my kids challenge me to be better. Maya and Neal suggested that we can make some videos together to talk about health topics. They figured if kids and their adults watch the videos and listened to the podcast together then maybe the kids could help keep their adults accountable. Then the kids will be healthier too. How can I say "no" to this simple ask? I hope that you find our discussions useful for your family. Let's grow healthier together!
