With all the chatter, handwringing, and noise about all the different nutritional concerns and questions we should have, it's tough to know how to get your needs met. In today's episode, Katherine lays out a specific framework for prioritizing your most important, most basic nutritional needs, so that we see the big picture and don't get lost in the details that matter less. Prioritizing the most important nutritional need of adequacy can encourage more ease and flexibility in eating, and all...
When we consider relaxing our tight grip of control of our eating, letting go of food rules and incorporating an “all foods fit” mentality, many of us worry that we will be out of control around those most favorite foods, the ones you always thought you needed to keep out of the house and not allow yourself to eat them at all, because you lose control. Today’s episode talks about why this is a myth, using examples of how we experience the rhythm of our lives and changing seasons. After the ho...
Hey folks, I’m back from an unplanned hiatus. Today, I share all about giving ourselves grace when life becomes chaotic or difficult. I share my personal experience about letting go of mealtime expectations during a stressful season of life. It’s okay to be flexible and make adjustments. This teaches us (and our children) to trust ourselves during times when things fall apart, and to give ourselves permission to prioritize only the essentials and let the rest go, requiring us to get very clea...

It's back to school season, and whatever relief we felt to reclaim the routine and structure of school days has probably given way to remember that school weeks are stressful too, particularly when it comes to feeding, school lunches, tired kids, and stressed parents! In today's episode, Canadian dietitian Terri Ney, RD (sounds like "high," not "hay") shares some encouragement and practical tips for parents around school lunches and other common school day feeding challenges. She has lots of ...
Does picky eating show up in your family? How do you know when it's a problem? Today we hear from child feeding expert Katja Rowell, MD, family doctor turned feeding therapy specialist who has worked with hundreds of families struggling with the extremes of the picky eating continuum. We talk about how to recognize extreme picky eating and what might be more typical picky eating, and what to do if you believe your family needs more support.

Intuition can feel elusive (or even scary) if you have spent a lifetime believing you can’t trust yourself and need to outsource your wisdom. Today’s conversation is about how to identify your inner wisdom when your fear is used to being in the driver’s seat.Mentioned in this episode: Free Workshop: Sneaking and SnackingWhy your kids' chaotic eating persists despite your best efforts and what to do about itEpisode 19: Neurodiversity and Feeding Differences with Naureen Hunani, RDEpisode...
"Neurodiversity is a biological fact." Montreal dietitian Naureen Hunani joins us today to share about how brain differences such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Differences can impact the feeding relationship, and how the frameworks and guidance we depend on can cause more problems than they solve if they are not inclusive of and responsive to those differences.

Eating intuitively can feel confusing, overwhelming, even scary for us adults, who may have spent a lifetime battling our bodies. But we're all born with the capacity to eat intuitively, so kids have an advantage. We can support kids' growing into intuitive eaters but helping them maintain their trust and connection with their bodies, even if we feel like we have a long way to go in our own relationship with our own body. Today we talk about how to recognize those skills developing in our kid...
Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. But there are strong and powerful industries at work compelling us to believe we should all be working to achieve a narrow and arbitrary standard of smallness, thinly veiled by the banner of "health." Today we will talk about how genetics, rather than behavior, is the primary driver of body size and shape, about the forces that come together that make it so difficult to let go of trying to control our bodies, and about where to go from here. Beginning to u...
Often, it is clear what needs to happen to shift our relationship with food to be more intuitive, but our relationship with activity remains fraught and confusing. We still think of exercise as a necessary evil, something we must do to be healthy but we'd so much rather avoid altogether. Thankfully, when we establish trust and respect with our body, our approach to movement can be much more balanced and intuitive, honoring what we know about our body and what it might need at any given time. ...
The phrase "intuitive eating" on its own may bring up all sorts of images of binging on chocolate and French fries. But the framework of Intuitive Eating and its ten principles, based on the books by registered dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, constitute a whole model of self care and body trust with food. In Part I of this three part series, we talk a bit about the foundation of body trust upon which Intuitive Eating is based, and about the ways our body faithfully communicates its...
Today we learn all about the role of the nervous system in our experience and struggles with food and feeding. Registered dietitian Anna Lutz shares her knowledge of the nervous system and a relatively new understanding of our somatic experience known as Polyvagal Theory, bringing a whole new layer of insight and understanding to our experience at the dinner table with our families. This interview is extremely powerful in better understanding our kids' experience, and our own as well, of meal...
Too often, eating disorders in young people are not identified before things have gotten way out of hand and we have a very sick child. And most of the time, in retrospect, parents and caregivers can look back and see the clear early warnings signs, that they just didn't know to be concerned about at the time. Today's episode goes into how to recognize those early warning signs, what to look for and how to respond if you notice changes in your child that are concerning. The more advanced an e...

When "loving your body" feels out of reach or impossible, where do we go from here? Today Katherine expands on the idea of doing our own healing work in our relationship with our body that last week's episode touched on. We cover some practical things you can start doing, or STOP doing, right away, to positively impact how you relate to your body, and then how to dig deeper when you're ready.
