As parents, we are all striving to raise and nourish our children with love and intention, and to set them up with a healthy foundation of emotional and physical wellbeing for the rest of their lives. Dr. Gemma Newman, a general practitioner who’s been practicing for over 18 years, shares her wealth of knowledge and experience on optimizing your family’s health and wellbeing. She is a senior partner at a family medical practice in the UK, has OBGYN, family planning, and pediatric credentials, as well as her own experience transitioning her family to a plant-based dietary pattern many years ago. Her approach is very inclusive towards all types of lifestyles in how to adapt a healthy plant-based diet and she provides a compassionate and understanding lens through her years of experiencing all different types of patients and circumstances.
Her incredible book “The Plant Power Doctor: A Simple Prescription for a Healthier You” is a complete how-to go-to that has the necessary science for people to feel confident and empowered to thrive on their plant-baed diet. It’s the perfect combination of recipe book and information to help you as you navigate your journey towards optimal health and preventing disease.
I absolutely loved this conversation and we got to cover so many topics together in this packed two hour episode. I hope you feel empowered with the information Dr. Gemma shares as well as enjoy hearing our own different & personal experiences from two plant-based mothers raising healthy families.

I just want to say i've been breastfeeding straight for almost 5 years, two children and am still feeding both babies- my 3 and almost 5 year old. VERY PROUD and when they were both babies I almost gave up. Never give up mamas!- And we are all vegan in our family, so this was super informative for me. Love you Ellen, so much!
Amazing 😍😍😍
I met two girls a few years ago who were in their teens and had been vegan since birth, they were both over 5 feet 10 inches, in great shape, and incredibly healthy and happy.
Hey Ellen, did not even had the time to listen/watch to this ep., but already wanna tell you how much I appreciate you, your hard work, your mission and your great exAmple of vegan, mom, hard worker, human, sister! I have been going madly through the epis as they come out, and honestly some of then have shaped my way of seen life (ep with Kim, recently joined one of her Saloons with my husband, ep with the author of Fiber Fueled- still waiting on the second ep by the way! - reinforced my understanding of a healthy gut and its greater benefits... and the ep with Dr. Klaper, he is the cutest and most kind and nice to listen too...) Just THANK YOU ELLEN
amazing wow!! thank you for sharing that with me and im sooo glad you are loving the podcast
Just got back from my pediatrician appointment for my 6mo old and I was told emphatically to start my baby on whole cow's milk when she turns one - and a lot of it. That was a big no for me. This even came from a DO and not an MD! I wish this message was more widely spread amongst medical professionals.
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." "You are what you eat." So simple. And the absolute truth. Cheers.
HI! It was really interesting to listen to the story where you got Elvis his vegan food for a non-vegan party! Could you talk more about how you and your kids adapt to non-vegan friends and gatherings?
Yes that would be very interesting and helpful! So much judgement and misunderstanding from friends and family!
Knowledge about nutrition is never too much! Absolutely in love with this podcast, Ellen ❤ Great job, one more time! Bring Dr. Michael Greger, please!
Ellen, you made a comment about hoping that you really shared the beauty and benefit of breastfeeding. I just wanted to share with you that you have absolutely done that. When I was first postpartum, really struggling with breastfeeding, I would watch your videos to see how much breastfeeding was a natural part of your everyday routine. It encouraged me to keep going. I had to exclusively pump for several months but finally got back to exclusively nursing after 4 months PP and we are still enjoying our nursing journey over a year into it. 🥰 Thank you so much for inspiring and encouraging us to breastfeed.
I am a SDA AND ABSOLUTELY PROUD OF THIS . Praise god to his word !
I can't wait to get into this episode. I think it will cover all the questions that I have about raising a plant-based family. I am very new to your channel and I appreciate how you hold yourself. It is inspiring and I have already learned so much from you. Lots of love from Australia
wow welcome to my channel! and thank you so much for your kindness and support.
Loved this one!!! usually I get bored eventually of podcasts where a lot of studies vitamins etc. are mentioned but this one had me engaged all the way through and I am not even a parent yet ha!
amazing!! thanks for sharing and tuning in
Such a great podcast episode!! Also love that Canada got noticed for our awesome revised food guide! 😄
Love this new podcast endeavor you are sharing some powerful information that will help people!
You're so good at doing these podcasts ! Thank you for sharing :)
wow thank you I so appreciate that!
Thank you Ellen! You’re amazing! Spreading the healthful message! And my family and I are wfpb and I’ve had two healthy children from conception also who I raise wfpb. We are Seventh Day Adventists and it’s certainly been a tremendous blessing to have you sharing these wonderful truths and you’ve personally inspired me for the last few years! I’ve been following you since Elvis was a baby! God bless you and your family exceedingly and abundantly! You are a light in this world! ❤️
Love this so much Ellen! Thank you for sharing such a wealth of knowledge from you both.
What I found very inspiring is a teaching called "Raising Children" by Marshall Vian Summers. It was so full of wisdom and I wish I was raised that way myself. It's free to read online, and is quite quick to read.
Thank you Mirel
Amazing episode! I have a 20 months old daughter, we are both vegetarian, really appreciate this episode! Thank you ☺️🙏✨
Still breastfeeding btw 🥰☺️
This was so wonderful! Great conversation very informative and pleasure to listen to
I usually (always actually lol) listen on Spotify and almost forget you have the video version here with commenting available! Anyways, just came to swing over and say I’ve been really enjoying all your podcasts so much! They are so informative, educational, and empowering! I’m actually not vegan or plant based / predominant now, but really would love to transition there. Your podcasts just feel so supportive. (I also don’t have kids but still fully enjoyed this podcasts - it really is such a blessing to learn about some of this hugely impactful stuff now before my time comes to start a family) Thank you 🙏🌱💫
wow thats amazing! thank you so much for sharing all that with me and for tuning in. im so glad you feel supported on your journey. Also I would just LOVE if you left a review on apple podcast if you have the time :) thank you again!
Thank you for another beautiful podcast. I hope your friend Kori is able to watch this.
I overall just really appreciate this talk! Thank you😊
We love this video! So much great information for vegans in general and especially for kids! Thanks! 💕
Glad I found this. We have a 5 month old and want to go vegan/raise our little vegan.
Really loved this! Wish you would have touched on choline
Amazing episode! I'm 24, I'm single and don't have kids haha but this is all very informative and inspiring ❤ :)
Everytime I listen to you, I am so willing to start getting into the vegan diet especially for my kids. But when reality hit, I'm like it's too complicated 😱 I can't find the time to cook or think about "vitamins, no vitamins" "if I have this so I need to eat it with this" "how to cook this?" "How to make it taste nice?" So much time to learn, experience. And I do not enjoy or have the time to cook. I don't understand how you do it with soon 5 kids around. I can only admire you. Maybe I'll get there one day. Defo added more fruits and veggies to my diet though since I've known you 👍
Oh looking so forward to this episode. Gemma is fantastic, I love her work. Fantastic that you two got to speak together ❤️
What a great episode ❤️
I love this episode Ellen, thank you! It is just what I needed. We are on a health journey and went completely sugar-free. However, it is a struggle to get the kids more used to veggies and less empty carbs. I really appreciate the tips for picky eaters but even more the attitude parents needs to be able to stand up for what they think is best for their kids. I guess I wasn't 100% living it myself (because everyone around me judges, gives "good advice" on how the kids should grow up etc.). I needed to hear that so thank you!! By the way: You are glowing and your hair looks amazing. Pregnancy suits you well
Is there a certain sunscreen youd recommend? Im always hesitant on sunscreen because idk whats good or bad in the ingredients
I think it's fine to raise your kids with the food you feel is right.
But my issue is when the kid is not thriving and you're so set on your agenda you'll let them struggle. I tried breast feeding for example. My son couldn't get enough food, just wanted to eat constantly. Found out later he was lactose intolerant, but I listened to my baby. Everyone said let the baby eat what they wanted, but I knew feeding for 10 hours straight wasn't normal or healthy for anyone. It was the best decision and I made it for my child, not an agenda.
Hi Ellen, do you experience any health issues/concerns at all on your vegan diet
Hello Ellen ❤️ be watched you since Sandy was a baby. I wanted to tell you as I'm aging , I'm finding that a plant based diet works so much better for my system. Can you give me pointers on what nutrients I should be getting extra money f for my age? I'm 57 this year. Thanks
Can you share the German kids study? Sounds so interesting:)
I couldn't find the German study about vegan children in the description. Is the link there?
The amount of times you got interrupted blows my mind
Hey Ellen, love to know what kinds of raw milk you make for your toddler …. Love the talk on breast feeding and milk. So much misinformation about milks and mom feel pressure to put their kids on cows milk or soy which not always ideal.
Stoked for this one
Following along agreeing with most things. But 40% of people have a mutation called MTHFR Gene mutation. They are unable to properly use fortified foods that are fortified with folic acid. They need the real folate in fact they won’t be able to process folate if they have foods with folic acid. It’s kind of new science but it would be good to have the doctor and you educated on this a little bit. Many birth issues like tongue tie and other midline defects even miscarriages are tied to this mutation. Methyl B’s, folate or folinic instead of folic acid.
I adore Gemma. Her book is fantastic
Hi Ellen! Could you recommend a good vegan floss that is plastic free? I have tried to use some, but they just break apart and get stuck in my teeth :(
Loved this one so much Ellen. Full of amazing information 👌 👏 😀
Hey Ellen first i love your channels both of them, also i have a question is there any vegan formulas you can give your baby or any healthier formulas. I know they have to soy formula but i don’t trust the formulas out here. Do you have any recommendations. Thank you
Hello Ellen, I would love for you to talk about the vaccines new bornes and kids have to get at the hospitals such as tetanus, hepatitis B etc what is your point of view ? The benefits, the effects when they are older etc I am going to have a baby soon, and I am all about natural home birth, but not sure about the medical treatment after that for the kid
What a lovely person that’s very well spoken! Loved this! Liver and spleen and other animal organs have become very popular. Something that you have said Ellen is our teeth and that’s a sign of what food we should be eating. That has stuck with me. A fun podcast idea I have learned so much about is the myths about the sun! How it can be so healing. It’s very controversi al! But very intriguing:)
I was exclusively breastfeeding, my daughter never had a single bottle and I got pregnant 4 months postpartum! I had no idea that was rare and breast feeding was a contraceptive!
I love the podcast!
Hi! Great episode ! Can you post the link for the vitamin Gemma mentioned for kids that contain Vitamin K and D ?
Thank you!
When it’s 10.35 at night and you have work in the morning and stupidly go on TH-cam. How can I not watch this when I should be sleeping hahah
Good grief thank you for addressing ancestral eating && saturated fat && industry influence. I spent so much time doing deep dives into the WAP research and just was like this doesn’t check out/add up but everyone is swearing by this what am I missing. You have to follow the money I think. I appreciate the nuance yall cover about how far back, and how deficiencies existed then too, and how ancestral diets change based on where you are, what was happening (famine? Winter? Etc) and how it’s not as simple as saying YES to this or that always. We’re fancier people than that 😉 And we are in a society (if in North America, as that’s all I can speak to) where we can know better and do better with our choices to meet our access and convenience needs AND nutritional needs without much harm (though it’s impossible to avoid all together, yes). This was a great talk, thanks Ellen!!
Why will no one answer your question about what the results of a study which implemented healthier sources of animal products would be 🤔 I want to know, as well 😿
❤❤❤
I love this one, she looks so kind, and she looks so healthy 👏
she really is an incredible woman! I'm thankful I got to get to know her while she was here. So kind and openhearted and knowledgable!
@@theellenfisherpodcast You really can "feel" it even by just watching this vid. Yoou both are amazing, and we are all so thankful for everything you do 👏❤️
@@theellenfisherpodcast how do you feel about her pushing the Covid Vaxx even for pregnant women?? Really shocked you’d promote someone like her!
So wrong!!!
