Summary
What are you looking forward to this week? Personally, my mom is flying into town and my family will be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday! I cherish this time of year because I love gathering around the dinner table and eating home-cooked meals with the people I love.
But what about after the holidays—how can we sustain healthy eating habits and turn mealtime into quality time with our families?
To help answer that question, I’m excited to welcome back Shawn Stevenson to the podcast, a true pioneer in transforming how we think about our eating habits with our families. He is the voice behind the country's #1 health podcast, The Model Health Show, and the author of The Eat Smarter Family Cookbook, which has transformed how I think about mealtime with my family.
Today, you’ll hear Shawn talk about the profound impact of family meals on our health and overall well-being. Because it’s not just about the foods we eat. It’s about creating lasting, joyful experiences with our families, crafting a legacy of health and happiness that will resonate for generations to come.
He also shares some of his best tips for cooking meals that are not just nutritious but downright delicious, rivaling even the most tempting junk food.
