The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act has a 60 percent chance of becoming law this year, with congressional momentum building along with consensus that whole milk in schools is the best option for schoolkids, Sen. Peter Welch, D-VT, said in a Dairy Defined podcast released today.“This is one of those things where, if we get it on the floor, and get the cooperation of leadership, we get the votes,” he said. “This is one of those areas of rare bipartisanship that we have right now.”Welch, the ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee's rural development subcommittee, is a Senate co-sponsor of Whole Milk for Healthy Kids, which passed the House of Representatives in 2023 and this year is advancing in both chambers. The legislation would restore the ability of schools to offer whole and 2% milk as options.Welch also serves on the Judiciary, Finance and Rules committees, touching on agricultural issues including immigration and trade. 

Dr. Jayarajan Kodikannath, B.Sc, B.A.M.S, whom we lovingly call “Dr. J," is a world-renowned Ayurvedic doctor and the former President of NAMA (the National Ayurvedic Medical Association). An esteemed scholar, researcher, and teacher, he represents a lineage of Vaidyas from Kerala, India. As the CEO of Kerala Ayurveda Academy and Wellness Center in Northern California—where Sasha is  currently completing her doctorate—Dr. J has played a pivotal role in advancing Ayurvedic education and clinical research. His work includes leading research on Ayurvedic wellness solutions, with a recently patented herbal composition for managing metabolic syndrome disorders such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and lipid imbalances.Dr. J is also the author of The Parent's Complete Guide to Ayurveda: Principles, Practices, and Recipes for Happy, Healthy Kids, a practical and user-friendly resource offering over 50 Ayurvedic wellness practices for children ages 3–16. With over two decades of clinical experience, he has focused extensively on pediatric health and mental well-being.Above all, Dr. J is a compassionate healer and educator, dedicated to sharing the consciousness-based teachings of Ayurveda across the globe. As Sasha's own teacher, he embodies the Divine Father and Ayurveda itself, guiding his students with wisdom, humility, and love.Today, in part one of our three-part series on Ayurveda for Happy and Healthy Kids, we explore a topic close to both our hearts. We begin with Prana—the primordial life force—its role in childhood development, and its impact on cognitive health. We also discuss:The Ayurvedic perspective on childhood growth and developmentCommon childhood imbalances and their root causesThe role of parents in their children's healthThe impact of stress and environmental factors on kidsThe controversial use of pharmaceuticals for behavioral challengesBreaking cycles of sleep deprivation for parentsBalancing structured activities with free, unstructured playtimeThe healing power of nature and the innate healing capacity within us allIt seems fitting that Dr. J wrote a book on conscious, loving Ayurvedic parenting—because that is exactly what he offers us as his students. He doesn't just teach Ayurveda; he embodies it, sharing from his heart rather than merely his vast knowledge. His wisdom flows effortlessly, granting all of us in his presence the blessing of Darshan—Divine sight.Send us a textSupport the showTo learn more about us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram

In today's episode of The Root Cause Medicine Podcast, we explore various topics related to immune resilience and reducing sickness in children with Dr. Chris Magryta. You'll hear us discuss: 1. Why kids are getting sick so often 2. How to boost immune resilience in children 3. The superfoods your child needs 4. Tips for limiting screen time and improving sleep in children 5. Nurturing a healthy gut and brain development in children Addressing allergies and intolerances in children 6. Effective parenting approaches and resources for nurturing children's health Dr. Chris has been practicing medicine in North Carolina for 24 years, viewing each child as a catalyst for improving human health.

In this special episode of LOVE IS FEARLESS, Janet and Doug are joined by Sarah Boyd—author, child and adolescent development expert, and founder of Resilient Little Hearts. Sarah's new book, Turn Down the Noise, offers a much-needed guide to raising emotionally healthy kids in today's overstimulated world. This warm, insightful conversation explores the realities families face and the hope available when we slow down, simplify, and create a safe emotional atmosphere at home. You're in the Right Place If… You feel caught between wanting to slow down and fearing what will happen if you do. You've seen big emotions or challenging behaviors in your child and wondered, “Is this anxiety… or are we all just overwhelmed?” You've ever felt like the pace of modern life is stealing the peace in your home—or wondered why your child's emotions feel so big (or yours so close to the surface). Conversation Takeaways -  Overstimulation is not a parenting failure—it's a cultural reality. But it's not inevitable. We can shape environments that help our children thrive. Emotional maturity in children begins with emotional safety—and safety begins with us. Slowing down is not weakness; it's wisdom. Simplifying our home rhythms isn't about doing less—it's about doing what matters most: creating space for connection, rest, and delight. The emotional atmosphere of our home doesn't have to feed the chaos. Home can become a place of healing. Resources & Links Mentioned

As part of a community health partnership with Valley Health, in this episode of the Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Mike Wade, chair of the organizing committee, to share details about this year's Community Wellness Festival, held at the Apple Blossom Mall in partnership with Shenandoah University on Saturday, February 22 from 10am - 5pm. The event promises a day filled with health, fitness, and community spirit.  The festival, celebrating its 31st year, is an annual event that brings together more than 80 exhibitors, including Valley Health Services and other community organizations. It aims to offer something for everyone, from health education to fitness demonstrations. Mike highlighted the festival's growth and dedication to public wellness. Since moving to the Apple Blossom Mall, the festival has become a community hub for health education. 'The mall is a very non-threatening and accessible environment,' said Wade, 'It's a great place for the festival, and we get to pull in people who might not have known about it otherwise.' This year's festival will have a wide array of events tailored for all age groups. For children, Shenandoah University's Nursing program will lead the Healthy Kids experience, featuring health education activities and giveaways. 'It's a great way for kids to start learning about healthy habits,' Janet noted. One of the festival's biggest draws is the variety of free and low-cost health screenings available. Services include blood pressure checks, cardiovascular screenings, and blood glucose testing. 'It's an initial entry point checkup,' said Wade. 'If your blood pressure reads high, you'll be advised to contact your primary care physician for follow-up.' Additionally, there will be fitness demonstrations running throughout the day, showcasing activities like Irish dancing and music therapy by Shenandoah University. A unique highlight is the boxing program for patients with Parkinson's disease. For those unfamiliar with virtual health visits, the festival offers a practical demonstration led by Valley Health Urgent Care. Attendees can experience a mock virtual visit to understand the process better, making it easier to opt for telehealth services in the future. Wade mentioned the community spirit palpable at the festival. 'I have people I call my festival friends,' he said, elaborating that he looks forward to seeing familiar faces each year. The festival not only provides health resources but also fosters this sense of camaraderie and collective wellbeing.
