With the Wind with Dr. Paul – Show 188, Pediatric Perspectives: Healthy Food for Healthy Kids with Pete Evans

Nutrient-Dense Recipes and Prevention for Children’s Wellness

​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.”

​In Healthy Food for Healthy Kids, Pete focuses on eliminating inflammatory foods like gluten and modern dairy, which he has seen linked to health challenges, especially in children on the autism spectrum. Instead, his recipes emphasize whole foods, nutrient-rich fats, proteins, and even organ meats like liver and bone marrow — staples once common in traditional diets.

Dr. Paul notes how Pete’s recipes offer simple, practical methods for making baby food at home using broths, egg yolks, cod liver oil, and fermented juices. These provide the essential nutrients growing children need — fats, choline, iron, iodine, calcium, and more.

​For parents struggling with picky eaters, Pete stresses patience, love, and persistence:

​“Palates can be developed. If you offer the same type of food to a child over a dozen times, eventually they will start to appreciate it.” — Pete Evans

​His encouragement reminds parents that introducing nutrient-dense foods is not only possible but transformative when approached with consistency and care.
