"Just because you eat food doesn't mean you're nourished."

Deborah MacNamara returns to the podcast with podcast host Julie Cusmariu to discuss her groundbreaking new book, 'Nourished: Connection, Food, And Caring For Our Kids (and everyone else we love). Deborah MacNamara takes us on a deep and insightful journey through storytelling, a fantastic riddle (the answer to which is revealed in this podcast at the end), provocative questions, developmental science and robust research to help us make sense of our relationship to food and to reclaim nourishment. I couldn't agree more with what Dr. Gordon Neufeld declared “After reading this groundbreaking work, it will be impossible for you to ever view food as just food again.” And I just loved this question posed by Deborah on page 74 of the book and to those she interviewed for Nourished "If you could choose one person to cook for you, who would it be?” What a great and poignant question to ask each other and our kids.

There is so much to gain from reading this book, so much to digest and take in, so much to savour and explore. May it provide you with as much nourishment as it did for me. Thank you Deborah and thank you everyone for tuning in and for the work you are doing in this world as providers and caretakers.

Praise for Nourished

“ A timely, wise, and much-needed book. In a society that alienates us from our caregiving instincts, its lessons could not be more urgent.” Gabor Maté, MD.

"Stunningly beautiful, an ode to love, relationships and food. Dr. MacNamara shows how true nourishmentis about connection and how the family meal can be a celebration of emotional closeness." Mona Delahooke, PhD.
