Raising Healthy Kids with Food as Medicine | Ali Miller on Whole Foods, Protein & Picky Eaters
Welcome back to The Integrative Health Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Ali Miller, a registered dietitian and author of Naturally Nourished Kids, to talk about one of my favorite topics—nutrition for kids and families.
Ali shares her “Food as Medicine” philosophy, which is all about prioritizing real, whole foods while letting go of the shame and guilt that often surrounds eating. She breaks down the four key principles of childhood nutrition—whole foods, protein, blood sugar balance, and healthy fats—and shows how parents can model these habits for the entire family.
We also dive into baby-led weaning, empowering picky eaters, and the powerful connection between nutrition, growth, and mental health. Ali explains why chewing matters for jaw development, why whole milk can support the brain and immune system, and how real food sets the foundation for lifelong wellness.
This conversation is packed with practical strategies you can start using right away to nourish your kids—and yourself!
In this episode of The Integrative Health Podcast, I sit down with Ali Miller to explore how food truly is medicine for kids and families. We talk about the four nutritional priorities every child needs, how parents can handle picky eating with confidence, and why baby-led weaning is such a game-changer. Ali also shares the surprising benefits of chewing, whole milk, and empowering kids to be active participants in their food choices.
