What if the most powerful thing you could do for your child's health started at the dinner table, with a conversation?
Today's guest is Prescott Ellison — Chicago native, Grammy Award-winning drummer, composer, bestselling author, inventor, entrepreneur, and educator. Prescott is the creator of Superfood Friends, a nutrition and fitness curriculum he developed after returning to a childhood memory: his mother gathering her three kids at the kitchen table and teaching them why they were eating what they were eating — before they took a single bite.
That one habit sparked a movement. Prescott's work has been recognized by the White House, earned him the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, the Childhood Obesity Prevention Award, and a $250,000 grant to expand his program into schools across Las Vegas. His K–5 curriculum has reached classrooms, medical schools, and city halls and now, a Superfood Friends television series is in development.
In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to build a family food culture from the ground up, how to start conversations with your kids about what they're eating, and why the dinner table might be the most underestimated classroom you already have.
