nutrients that are essential for you to have an optimum life ok from childbirth to adult yeah and some of these nutrients you don't some of the foods you don't like some of them i don't like but my guest  you are a pediatrician you have found romania you you are a pediatrician and have had your private practice as one nine hundred ninety nine so tell me more about you and how this lady here let me just say i have talked to the camera and i'm just going to pull it right out you're looking at a fine artist and she's an m d ok so now i have to ask the question yes fine artist so medical now did just talk a little bit about that actually very easy ok because this in medicine is not an exact science it's art it's art and science right we interpret everything through our basic knowledge but we have to look at a patient from many different points of view right so i always do on my life i love to the told me in the green room that you actually teach a class sound a little bit more about that we have a class called creative vision the interplay of art and medicine  museums we go to galleries we interpret many many portrayed and pieces of art from the art and sometimes from the pathology medical point of view wow  mix or how do you feel the art with nutrients that are necessary for people to thrive think cooking isn't that  combination of unique food wow and i learned you know i'm going on my own i'm watching the food network of course yes and i do hope i really hope that by doing this by making the vegetables who will be really good they think i'm going to be able to make everybody like them ok so let's just you know i'm in what is it what are the top nutrients that are required here for anybody right well of course you know you have to eat all food groups i do not believe in no carbs or no fat and i do not believe in it right yes and the rest will be between protein and held the which is very important for you ok the second thing i don't believe in  not telling the children one day eating like you know i'm going to give you a brownie with a brownie is broccoli and it's not really what i'm going to tell the wealthiest is let me see if you like it and you know what this is would you recommend i personally but that's personal i love sometimes and i love deal you know in europe everybody in mediterranean the unfroze deal is the best however anybody can use anything else you can use use whatever you so wish and those arms are healthy for the individual of course they are you have you know some of them they have or lots of idle muse and lots of minerals as well and you can use you know what make it easier you use the dried ones that's perfectly fine yes you know not everybody can go once on a for a rush market the farmers market i know we says i just bought a slew of them she would be so proud of me i think what i'm going to do is take a picture of the ones that i've gone and i'm going to send them to you and then you'll say ok good let me tell you dr erica she saved me as well because i mean she knows what she's talking about because i  when i spoke with you i was i had a situation where i could not communicate so i wouldn't call it leverage itis but i just couldn't communicate and then i was also going through these hot flashes that's right yeah  saying how old i am whatever you need to know  our right pam so thank you very much so we'll get back we'll get back to the show we just got to grasp but we'll get back to the show now now with nutrients for our children between birth and five and between say five and fifteen and then forward are they do they change in terms yes so why don't you share with me what are the most essential nutrients at birth ok sure  that a baby needs not only is it very very easy for the baby to digest it has the immunity the immunity from mom that goes to the baby and then super super important and no formula has that right however you know you don't have enough babies they hydrated anything that happens when mom is very sick first they can pump and if they cannot well we'll have to give them the formula course right at a six months we agree with and it's important for the kids to to really really taste everything you know you always have the benadryl there just in case right this doesn't work even as a board mom dad or in the family some horrendous so many spices in this world so it is really not that important why not ok because a little bit of salt is fine in the just a touch to get out that to enhance the taste guy they are smart ok so now let's go from age five to ten five to ten well you know kid is the problem because now they're going to school and finally yes in the last few years i think the food in the cafeteria started to be better in the i no indeed i said sign i have a very good graphic there i have to admit it's excellent a i think schools do start very early change they shouldn't really and they don't have time to sleep or guys so to drink coffee on top of it and to sleep in unless i don't think so that's a no no although there are many many cultures tightening in the yogurt ok so don't get so hungry that when you get home you want to eat the world nor any the whole table that there is no other so but anything and i'm the only meal you know that's not good for you so what are we to cause i know you work with children because i know that you're you're you know talking about the your little baby but the cauliflower casserole what is over there and it's green which i know i know we were talking before you you like a colorful plate don't you know that's not so much but you know what for good measure i can put on  point you know a lot of us don't have time so you know delicious quick recipes so are you are you putting together a cookbook i wanted ok so when coming into coming i'm going to kids we going to drill all of this stuff together wow ok so that's that's that's really really good so now you are also the author of the essential guide to baby's first year touch with you for those souls that because you do have a private practice flourishing private practice in new york how can the viewers that in new york get in contact with you they can email me i always kay erica with a k yeah oh wow and if someone wanted to sit in one of your art and medicine classes i think we did we did you can you call it like a do you have any final advice for any of the viewers who well being up and is very hard to hear like i always say we have a license to do anything and everything we don't need a license to be parents and yet i think we should be well odd it's hard and it's complicated and it's the most wonderful thing in the world i would agree and perhaps the most difficult so we have to have patience we love our children because they are everything i have a daughter and she's everything literally everything for me and the patients that had to be understanding that their own past i have is very very important you don't need to read a and let me tell you you need to look at what she's done here with her recipes sign up for her book when it comes out well we'll make an announcement about that this cauliflower is off and you know i don't know i told her i don't
