As a vegan parent, you're committed to providing your family with a healthy, ethical, and sustainable diet. You've put in the time and effort to research and learn about plant-based nutrition, but you may still face challenges in ensuring your family gets all the nutrients they need while navigating the complexities of a vegan lifestyle.
You're not alone in this journey, and any struggles you face are not a reflection of your dedication or abilities as a parent. The truth is, the strategies and approaches you've been following may not fully consider your unique family dynamics, lifestyle, or dietary needs.
Hi there, I'm Gen, a certified vegan nutritionist and proud mother of two amazing boys.
With years of experience in plant-based nutrition and firsthand knowledge of the challenges vegan families face, I'm here to tell you that providing a balanced, nutrient-rich vegan diet for your loved ones doesn't have to be overwhelming or complicated.
Welcome to the Nutrition for Vegan Families podcast, where I share practical tips, strategies, and insights tailored to your family's needs, helping you make informed decisions and create a sustainable, healthy vegan lifestyle that works for you.
I've been where you are, navigating the world of vegan parenting and questioning whether I was doing everything right for my boys. It was through my own journey of discovery and learning that I found the tools and knowledge to create a thriving, healthy vegan household.
Join me each week as we explore the latest in vegan nutrition research, dive into helpful strategies for meal planning and preparation, and discuss real-life experiences of vegan families just like yours.

3 Ways to Ditch the Perfectionism and to Get Your Vegan Kids to Eat More Veggies and Other Healthy Food
In my first ever podcast episode, I talk about how dropping the perfectionism around our vegan diets actually makes us (and our kids!) healthier eaters in the long run.
Where Does the Perfectionism Belief Come From?
There is a strong underlying belief in the vegan world that we have to eat perfectly to be healthy. This comes from 2 areas.
Firstly, the Meat and Dairy Industry works incredibly hard to spread the belief that we can't get the nutrients we need without meat and dairy.
And then many of the Vegan Diet Influencers (including doctors and dietitians) post recipes and food pics with meals brimming with legumes, veggies and wholegrains, making us feel that the only way to be healthy on a vegan diet is to eat those foods.
But I'm here to tell you, there is another way.
In fact, if you work on making small tweaks over time, you'll end up eating healthier overall than if you try to eat "perfectly" from the start.
In this episode, I teach you 3 small changes you can make to your family's diet right now, that will make your food healthier.
