46: What You’ve Always Wanted to Know About Beef

Since beef is something people often think they need to restrict or avoid, I asked special guest & nutrition expert Keli Hawthorne, MS, RD to share what the research says about beef, specifically for young kids!

Keli Hawthorne is a Registered Dietitian and the Director for Clinical Research for the Department of Pediatrics at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. 

In this episode, I asked Keli about:

• the health benefits of beef and which cuts she recommends 
• the differences between organic and grass-fed beef
• how much beef is appropriate for babies and young children, and 
• how to serve beef to your littles

View the research that supported Keli’s answers here.
