    ​Introduction
    In this Pediatric Perspectives episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul welcomes internationally renowned chef, restaurateur, and author Pete Evans. Known for his passion for whole foods and healthy lifestyles, Pete joins the conversation to discuss his new book Healthy Food for Healthy Kids and share practical wisdom for parents seeking to nourish their children.
    ​Dr. Paul opens by highlighting his own journey as a pediatrician who often relied on store-bought baby food. Reading Pete’s recipes for nutrient-dense, kid-friendly meals inspired him to reflect on the importance of preparing food that truly supports children’s growth and health.
    ​Pete Evans explains that his approach to nutrition stems from both his career as a chef and his role as a father. Prevention, he emphasizes, is the cornerstone of his philosophy: “when people really want to make a change to their health, it’s because they’ve faced a diagnosis or a challenge. My goal has always been prevention.”
