Dr. Manasa Mantravadi is a pediatrician, CEO, mom of three, and the founder of Ahimsa—an award-winning company making stainless steel dishware for kids. But more than that, she’s on a mission to reform public health, starting with what’s on our plates.
In this episode, we dive into:
-
Why the American Academy of Pediatrics warned against plastics
-
How plastic exposure affects hormones, puberty, and long-term health
-
What “culinary medicine” really means—and why it’s the future of healthcare
-
The simple changes families can make to reduce plastic exposure
-
How Ahimsa is changing what kids eat from at home and in schools
-
Why school lunch reform = healthcare reform
This is a hopeful, empowering conversation about how we can take small steps in our homes—and big ones in our systems—to raise healthier, happier kids.
