Lisa, I’m right there with you. Our oldest is a sophomore in college whose “meal plan” includes ChikFilA meals with soda. My husband loves cola, so there is Zevia in our fridge, but no regular soda. Ever. Daughter home from her first year with 6 cavities. She admits to living on grilled cheese sandwiches, even though she has been told her EDS joint symptoms will be less if she avoids gluten and dairy. The irony is that I am a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. My kids have heard their entire lives how important whole food is for them to feel well, think well, and sleep well. The hardest part about this stage of parenting is waiting for your kids to realize that you weren’t just trying to make their lives difficult but were telling them the truth because you love them and want them to feel well.

Hi, I'm taking the NTP program right now. Love it! Don't worry it will get better. My whole family is whole food keto (or lower carb). They get it, especially when they see that at 62 I'm fit (can beat them at cardio), flexible with muscles. No medication.

That’s great, Kendra! Enjoy your training. It’s such excellent preparation for either your own consulting practice or being the wise advocate for your family and friends. Hopefully we are going to get a big assist from RFK, Jr. soon, too.
