Nourishing Families with Plant-Powered Nutrition

Presented with 92NY's Spark Your Health program Families are increasingly interested in plant-based diets for a variety of reasons, including health, environmental, and ethical considerations, but parents often wonder whether such a diet is safe for their growing children. Join PPMNY and the 92nd St Y for a conversation between Nourish co-authors, Brenda Davis, RD, and Reshma Shah, MD, MPH, on the impacts of a plant-based diet on growing children. This discussion will dig deeper into the safety and benefits of plant-based diets for children, the specific nutrients that are important for children that are eating a plant-based diet, and how to foster enjoyment and decrease stress at the dinner table. Brenda Davis , registered dietitian, is a plant-based trailblazer and an internationally acclaimed speaker. Her latest book, Plant-Powered Protein , was released in 2023. In 2022, she and Dr. Reshma Shah , a board-certified pediatrician, co-authored the award-winning book, Nourish: The Definitive Plant-Based Nutrition Guide for Families . Dr. Shah teaches for the Stanford Healthy Living Program and the Stanford University Pediatric Integrative Medicine Fellowship. Please note that there is a $20 fee to access this webinar.
