    112 - Dads as Key Players: Why Your Involvement in Your Children's Development Matters with Christiana Scott

    Get ready to challenge the norms! With Christiana Scott, the founder of Real Food Littles, we'll tackle the societal pressure dads face as primary caretakers and illuminate the crucial role fathers play in your child's nutrition journey.

    Christiana Scott is a health-focused personal chef, nutritional therapy practitioner, passionate supporter of baby-led weaning, and mom of two twin boys.

    Here's what we have for you in today's episode:

     Discover the importance of fluidity in parenting dynamics and why feeding your baby, from the six-month mark to 18 years, amounts to over 18,000 meals that should be a shared responsibility.

    Mealtimes are more than just about food. It's about being present, engaged, and creating a nurturing environment. Hear firsthand from Christiana about the challenges and rewards of feeding her twins, the power of storytelling at the dinner table, and how it builds emotional intelligence in children.

    You'll also learn the shocking statistic that many children in public schools only get a mere 35 minutes of contact time with their parents daily and why changing this trend is imperative.

    Finally, we reminisce about the joys of family dinners and their immense benefits to parents and children.

    Christiana and I reveal our personal experiences and the impact our own childhood meals had on our desire to create a regular family dinner routine.

    We’ll even explore how these meals serve as a powerful tool for creating emotional stability and connection.

    Despite the hustle and bustle of life, we'll share insights on making time for these precious family moments, setting the stage for lasting traditions. So, tune in for an enlightening discussion that could redefine your family's mealtime dynamics. Enjoy the show!

They explain how this lifestyle change can address the root cause of metabolic syndrome, leading to improved quality of life and reduced symptoms. The speakers stress the importance of consulting with a doctor before making any changes and eating real, whole foods. They also explore the iceberg effect, emphasizing the hidden health benefits beyond visible weight loss, and use their own experiences to illustrate this concept.

    Homesteading Like a Pro, Raising Sheep for Meat and How Food Sovereingty Provides Freedom with Steven Cornett

    Homesteading Like a Pro, Raising Sheep for Meat and How Food Sovereingty Provides Freedom with Steven Cornett

    Welcome back to the Year of Plenty podcast the shop for all things real food where we discuss topics around sustainable eating, nutrition, traditional foodways, homesteading, wild food, and much more.

    This episode is a conversation with Steven Cornett who runs the ultra-popular homesteading Youtube Channel called Nature’s Always Right.

    Steven started his journey into growing food as an urban market gardener where he would grow tons of veggies on as little land as possible and sell it at farmer's markets.

    But he has moved beyond simply growing vegetables in recent years. Steven now manages his own homestead on 16 acres that includes animals and even a forest.

    I have a previous episode with Steven from several years ago called Lessons In Regenerative Urban Farming. In that episode, we talk all about his time as an urban farmer in California. But in this episode, we get more into homestead management.

    Episode Overview:

    • Choosing the right land for your homestead
    • An in-depth discussion about raising sheep and pigs for meat
    • High beds vs inground beds and which ones Steven has found to work better
    • Korean Natural Farming and Jadam Low-ost Agriculture
    • How to produce natural pesticides and how you can leverage IMOs (Indigenous Microorganisms) to supercharge your soil health
    • How to set up mushroom logs and even grow mushrooms on the ground in your forest
    • How Food Sovereignty provides freedom
