It’s our honored to be a part of the 2019 @metabolichealthsummit in Long Beach! Join us!! . . . #Repost @metabolichealthsummit ・・・ We are honored to have Audra D. Wilford, the Co-Founder of @maxloveproject, as a speaker and cooking demo host at Metabolic Health Summit 2019! . Classically trained in the culinary arts in Scottsdale, AZ, @maxlovemomma became a skilled cook at four-star restaurants before she was 20 years old. In both Arizona and Maine, she worked several positions from grill to sautee to saucier and discovered her passion for food went beyond the kitchen. She jumped to the “front of the house” and became both a server and bartender while finishing her college degree with a focus on public policy and nutrition. After finishing college she went to graduate school, earning a degree in philosophy and education from Columbia University with the goal of becoming an educator. Audra moved into leadership training in higher education, but her passion for food never waned. Instead of cooking for hundreds of people a night, her focus turned to cooking alongside her husband for their two children. Then, just over seven years ago, Audra's son Max was diagnosed with brain cancer. She reflexively fell back on her culinary training and turned to food as medicine. Alongside intensive brain surgeries, a year-and-a-half of chemotherapy, 30 rounds of radiation, and Gamma Knife radiation treatment, Audra used the kitchen as her tool to help Max thrive in the face of cancer. As Audra met other moms with children in cancer treatment, she heard the consistent needs for culinary education, nutrition science education, and integrative medicine resources. Listening to these needs, and right in the middle of Max’s chemotherapy treatment, Audra started the MaxLove Project (MLP), a non-profit designed to help parents use nutrition and integrative medicine to help their children thrive in treatment and beyond. Today MLP serves thousands of childhood cancer families across the U.S., providing them with wellness packages, cooking classes, hospital “Thrive Parties,” professional nutritional consultations, educational materials from top cancer researchers, and much

Yes! 🙌🏽💛🎗💛 #culinarymedicine #Repost @drmarkhyman ・・・ Why do we give kids the exact foods we avoid as adults, such as pizza, chicken nuggets, potato chips and other Frankenfoods? Our kids today spend far more time eating processed foods in front of screens than preparing wholesome meals while engaging with their families. ⠀ ⠀ These 5 strategies can introduce your kids to good-for-them foods that also taste good:⠀ 1) Take things slowly. Take it one food at a time so you don’t overwhelm them and you can track which foods work and which don’t. Make the rule that they have to try something three times before they can decide if they like it or not. Please don’t feed babies caffeine, chocolate, stimulants, honey, common allergens (like wheat, dairy, corn, eggs) or whole chunks of food like grapes, meat or nuts. Kids digest vegetables and fruits easier than grains, though you can try hypoallergenic grains like quinoa and brown rice.⠀ 2) Involve your kids. Get kids in the kitchen cooking with you. Helping prepare meals builds their self-esteem and identity. Culinary skills build on different areas of learning and cognition that enhance your child’s brain. Your kids can learn math skills, reading, creativity, planning, science, culture and history while they learn to cook.⠀ 3) Make cooking fun. Mixing some fun into their kitchen experience enhances their experience. My kids love listening to music while cooking together. A few well-planned strategies makes cooking attractive and “cool.”⠀ 4) Let your kids choose. Brainstorm what to include on the weekly menu. Provide ideas and have them weigh in. Let them pick among different recipes. ⠀ 5) Have your kids create the shopping list. Teach them how to choose the highest quality fruits or vegetables by showing them what to look for in texture, color and aroma. You can also teach them how to shop the perimeter first and remind them why middle aisles aren’t as healthy. Take them to the grocery store with you and make a treasure hunt for the ingredients you want.⠀ ⠀ At the end of the day, setting a good example becomes the most important thing you can do. Walk the walk and talk the talk; your kids will foll
