Clean Eating for Kids Podcast empowers families to be aware of their nutritional needs and supports the whole family to transition simply and effectively. Together, let’s strive for a healthy future. In this episode, get ready to be inspired by another pro surfer athlete turned parent, Taylor Knox. 

Knox was born in Thousand Oaks, California, and began surfing at eight years old. He moved with his family to Carlsbad at 13 and continued to pursue his dream of becoming a pro surfer. At age 15, he had to undergo back surgery after a damaged lumbar vertebra from a skateboarding accident threatened to paralyze him. He spent the next six months in a cocoon-like body cast. In 1990, Knox participated in the World Amateur Championships in Japan. He finished fourth place, ahead of fellow USA teammate Kelly Slater, who placed fifth. He began his ASP World Tour campaign in 1993.

Here are the key areas covered in this episode:

Taylor’s food self-discipline since he was young and its impact on his adult years.  Organic foods filled with nutrients and minerals can serve as a strong foundation for your body. How athletes can experience calmness through meditation. How he turned his dreams into reality while living a healthy lifestyle.
