118: Food As Prayer & Naturally Nourished Kids with Becki Yoo

In this episode of the Wise Woman podcast, Erin Doppelt interviews her dear friend Becki Yoo about her new cookbook, Naturally Nourished Kids. They discuss the importance of whole foods in children's diets, the controversies surrounding children's nutrition, the viral soccer mom email controversy, Becki's accidental free birth with her third, and the evolution of Becki's cookbook. Becky shares insights on sneaking supplements into kids' diets, creating a "perfect" meal day for children, and postpartum nourishment traditions. The conversation also touches on the influence of Korean cuisine in Becki's cooking and the significance of involving children in the cooking process. Throughout the episode, Becki emphasizes the importance of nourishing our bodies and honoring the food we eat and food as prayer.
