  • Why Do Children Need Vitamins and Minerals?
    Feb 2 2026

    In this episode, we dive into one of the most important building blocks of childhood health: vitamins and minerals. Why are they so essential for growing kids? What roles do they play in brain development, immune strength, energy levels, and overall growth? We break down the key nutrients children need, how they support learning and behavior, and the real impact deficiencies can have at different stages of development. You’ll also learn practical ways families can support proper nutrition through everyday food choices and when supplements might make sense. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or caregiver, this conversation offers clear, practical insight into fueling healthy growth from the inside out.

    The Nutrition Factor: Nutrition & Heart Disease

    with Dr. Jimmy Steger

    Heart disease remains one of the leading health concerns today—but how much of it is influenced by what we eat?

    In this episode of The Nutrition Factor, Dr. Jimmy Steger joins the conversation to break down the powerful connection between nutrition and heart health. Together, we explore how everyday food choices impact cardiovascular disease, what the science actually says about fats, sugars, and processed foods, and how small, sustainable nutrition changes can make a meaningful difference over time.

    Whether you’re trying to be more proactive about your health, support a loved one, or simply make sense of conflicting nutrition advice, this episode offers practical insights grounded in research, not trends.
