It is time to reevaluate our dietary choices. We have become accustomed to consuming items that do not qualify as nutritious food. Let us redirect our attention towards natural options and encourage children to appreciate the benefits of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, and mushrooms. Introducing these wholesome foods at an early age will facilitate the development of lifelong healthy habits.

When considering dining options, utilizing a restaurant can often be the most effective choice. Personally, I enjoy visiting my local Chinese restaurant for their excellent stir-fried vegetables served with white rice. Although this is not a daily occurrence, I prioritize making thoughtful selections when I choose to eat out. What meals do you prefer when dining at restaurants? Please share your favorites below.

What constitutes the most effective approach to raising a child? Parenting philosophies evolve regularly, creating a dynamic landscape of expectations. It is common for parents to desire their children to experience continuous happiness and view them as confidants. However, it is essential to assess whether these expectations are realistic.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is driving monumental victories for animals and modern science. Learn all about their groundbreaking work!
Coming on the heels of recommendations from PCRM, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded 10 grants totaling $88 million to help create or modernizing laboratories dedicated to human-based research, marking a major step toward ending animal experiments.

PCRM is also pushing the NIH to accurately count laboratory animals so Americans fed up with wasteful and cruel animal tests can see the full scope of this debacle.
You can help celebrate these and other milestones at two exclusive, high-impact California gatherings featuring delicious plant-based food and exceptional special guests.

Join the PCRM party in Northern California on October 10th at 4:00 PM, or in Los Angeles on October 11th at 4:00 PM. Seating is strictly limited, so secure your tickets today at tinyurl.com/PCRMPARTY and be part of the future of compassionate, effective medicine!

Now let’s get the scoop from PCRM’s Director of Research Advocacy Ryan Merkley and Senior Vice President of Development Betsy Watson, as we dive deep into this vital mission!

Mental health and behavioral health are intricately connected to our dietary choices. Providing children with nutritious food is essential for their cognitive development and overall success in educational settings. It is imperative that we prioritize healthy meals to enhance our children's well-being.

Did you know that your dietary choices can significantly influence your emotional state within just 30 minutes?

So incredibly proud to celebrate Meryl Fury, MS, RN as the new President & CEO of Plant Based Support and Plant Based Nutrition Movement. 🌱💚

Meryl is much more than a respected nurse leader to me. She is one of my closest nursing friends and someone who has personally shown me what real leadership looks like.

When I was brand new in my current clinical role and needed practice patients while learning an entirely new model of care, Meryl was one of the very few people who immediately stepped forward to help me.

She gave me her time.
She trusted me.
She encouraged me.
She wanted another nurse to succeed.

If that isn’t nursing leadership, I don’t know what is.

That is who Meryl is.

Her career reflects the same commitment to service through nursing, public and community health, plant-based nutrition, education, children and families, and healthier communities.

I believe nurses belong at the forefront of prevention, lifestyle medicine, food as medicine, and community transformation—and Meryl is helping show what that can look like.

Her new role represents something bigger than a leadership transition. It is another example of a nurse bringing compassion, education, collaboration, and systems-level thinking into spaces where we desperately need them.

Meryl, you supported me at an important point in my own journey, and I am so proud to support you in yours.

You are one of the best nurses I know, one of the best nursing friends I could ask for, and exactly the kind of leader I want helping move this movement forward.

Congratulations, my friend. 🌱💚
Your greatest impact may still be ahead.
