Hi Dr. Levitt!! You and your hubby were my favorite T-County doctors! May the Lord continue to bless you!!

We love Dr. Axe. So glad that you're championing the message every day and sharing food is medicine with the world! Thank you, and keep up the great work!

I smiled when she said pop as well. I was like, "go ahead Midwest!" That's so funny that you mentioned that Dr. Axe. Thanks much for these vids. LASSENS market has become my favorite store in LA because they have all the things I've been looking for based on the health knowledge you share. Very proud of my Ashwagandha and Holy Basil.. lol seriously! Blessings brother🙌🏽

I knew all of this... Great info! Thanks. We need to spread the word on health

[kristene]

Could you make a video on the best options for each meal. For example best breakfast options etc.

I was ecstatic to find she mentioned the effects of "RoundUp" (glysophate) which affects almost anything that is brought into the food industry. I think the newer generation is looking for "quick-fix" items to supply snacks and meals for their family. Kudos for this highly informative video. Thank you!

We used to buy sprouted grain bread which is better but the few times my kids eat bread they prefer and love organic sourdough.

One product I have found that I like and it'x better for my energy is a new pasta made from spinach, veggie pasta is beter than the white bread or the wheat bread. I also found an Organic flour and tried it for baking Irish Soda Bread that has no yeast in it.
For cereal I changed to Whole Wheat Chex but I have decided I rather have fresh fruits and veggies as many meals as possible.

My kids have eaten half of what's on the list everyday! I would love to totally change their diets but it's simply impossible especially when your other half is not on board. I do agree with you

[Zoegottiy]

I wish i watched this before I got diagnosed with diabetes but I'm here now to better my health

[sanam]

hi doctor Josh plz do mention the mian points or 10 healthy and non healthy food in the information box below the video so it would be easier to know the things if someone doesn't have enough time to watch long video or if video is not loading....thanku

[kylenoon]

the longer the label, the worse the food will be for you, and your kids. always remember to keep the ingredient lists on the foods you buy to a minimum.

[Wrex]

What do you guys think about a matzo? Should I avoid matzo made with wheat flour? And as usual great work, keep it up guys!

[lisaspagnuolo]

I homeschooled my kids and I even had some. surprise meals where we each chose between appetizers, main dish, side dish, salad or dessert

[jennycampos]

I like ur videos are very interesting .. Can u please make a video about high cholesterol on kids and what they can eat and they can't eat please

[eerbatsirk]

I usually make lettuce wraps. Or I buy almond meal tortillas or coconut tortillas when we do fajitas. But thats once every two weeks

[lisaspagnuolo]

Right now, I’m eating my own Trail Mix! Your kids will love you as they learn with you or you teach them how to be resourceful and innovative! And watch and see how they surprise you with their own creative and healthy culinary inventions!

[shanebloomfield]

Can you do a video on lectins in food and how they are destroying health?Thanks !

[handsfullofgoodthings]

What about fresh fruit and vegetable juices made at home and consumed same day?

[Jacksonoaks]

Flavored green tea and stevia is something we love in my home. Even my kids love it.
