A Starting Point to Nourishing Little Bellies & Wagging Tails
In a world filled with processed foods, artificial ingredients, and mass-produced pet kibble, it’s easy to forget that both toddlers and dogs thrive on real, nutrient-dense foods. Their bodies, much like ours, were designed to function best when fueled by whole, unprocessed, and bioavailable nutrients.
By focusing on traditional, ancestral foods—such as ferments, pasture-raised meats, mineral-rich broths, and healthy fats—you provide the essential building blocks for:
✔️ Stronger immune systems
✔️ Better digestion and gut health
✔️ Balanced energy and mood regulation
✔️ Healthy brain development in toddlers
✔️ Joint, skin, and coat health for dogs
Let’s break down the key components of a nourishing, gut-supportive diet for both your little one and your four-legged friend.
Meat Stock
Healing & Sealing the Gut Lining
Meat stock is one of the most gentle yet powerful healing foods for toddlers, rich in gelatin, amino acids, and bioavailable minerals that help repair the gut lining and reduce inflammation. It’s an ideal first food for babies with food sensitivities, eczema, or digestive distress.
For Toddlers & Infants:
Supports gut integrity – Helps seal and heal the gut lining, reducing food sensitivities.
Eases digestive distress – Ideal for little ones with bloating, constipation, or reflux.
Soothes eczema & skin issues – Since gut health and skin health are deeply connected, a stronger gut often leads to clearer skin.
Boosts hydration & mineral intake – Supplies bioavailable nutrients crucial for growth.
🔹 Why Meat Stock Not Bone Broth? Meat stock is cooked for a shorter time, making it easier to digest and lower in histamines—ideal for gut healing before transitioning to longer-simmered broths.

Ferments
Building a Strong Gut with Beneficial Bacteria
Gut health is the foundation of immunity, digestion, and nutrient absorption—for both toddlers and dogs. Fermented foods provide beneficial bacteria (probiotics) that help populate the gut microbiome, reducing inflammation and promoting overall well-being.
For Toddlers:
Supports digestion & reduces bloating – Ferments like kefir introduce beneficial bacteria that help break down food.
Strengthens the immune system – A balanced gut microbiome defends against infections.
Encourages adventurous eating – Exposure to different flavors early on can prevent picky eating habits.
For Dogs:
Aids digestion & nutrient absorption – Ferments help break down food more efficiently, leading to better stool quality.
Reduces inflammation & allergies – Supports skin health and may prevent food sensitivities.
Promotes a healthy coat & skin – The gut-skin connection is strong in dogs, just as it is in humans.
🔹 Best Ferments: Water kefir, raw milk kefir, fermented vegetables, and 24-hour fermented yogurt.

Nutrient-Dense Whole Foods
Essential for Infant & Toddler Growth
Focusing on healthy fats, pasture-raised meats, organ meats, and whole-food sources of vitamins and minerals helps ensure optimal development in growing children.
For Toddlers & Infants:
Healthy fats (butter, ghee, coconut oil, tallow) → Essential for brain development and hormone regulation.
Grass-fed meats & wild-caught fish → Provide iron, B vitamins, and omega-3s for cognitive function.
Liver & organ meats → Nature’s most nutrient-dense food, packed with iron, vitamin A, choline, and essential nutrients for growth.
🔹 Why Prioritize Nutrient-Dense Meals? Many modern baby and toddler foods lack bioavailable nutrients, leading to common deficiencies that affect development, mood, and immunity.

Healing & Nourishing Foods for Dogs
Your dog’s diet plays a crucial role in their longevity, digestion, joint health, and overall vitality. While commercial pet foods are convenient, they often lack essential nutrients and contain fillers that can lead to allergies, inflammation, and chronic health issues.
A whole-food, nutrient-dense approach can help support:
✔️ Better digestion and reduced food sensitivities
✔️ Stronger joints & mobility for active and aging dogs
✔️ Healthier skin & coat with less itching and shedding
✔️ Improved immune function to fight off illness naturally
✔️ Balanced energy levels and a healthy weight

What Changes to Expect When You Switch to Ancestral Whole Foods
As you transition away from processed foods, you’ll likely start noticing positive changes in digestion, immunity, and overall well-being.
For Toddlers & Infants:
✔️ Better digestion – Fewer tummy troubles, constipation, and bloating.
✔️ Stronger immunity – Fewer colds, quicker recovery times.
✔️ Improved skin (eczema relief) – Reducing gut inflammation often clears skin conditions.
✔️ More balanced mood & energy – Improved sleep and fewer blood sugar crashes.
For Dogs:
✔️ Healthier coat & skin – Shinier fur, less itching, and reduced allergies.
✔️ Smaller, more compact stools – A sign of better nutrient absorption.
✔️ Sustained energy & vitality – Increased stamina and mobility.
🔹 Possible Detox Reactions: As their bodies adjust, some toddlers may experience mild digestive or skin changes, while dogs may shed more or have temporary stool changes. This is normal and part of the transition to a healthier diet.
