Ever wondered how you're supposed to actually teach your children healthy habits with food without instilling fear of their plate or creating restriction?

As adults and parents, we know our food behaviours and beliefs about ourselves can be significantly moulded by our upbringing; this is why we brought Nutritionist & Mum of 2 Alexi Hogan onto the podcast to talk about her own personal experience and approach to this very sensitive topic.

In this episode, we speak with Alexi about:

• Alexi's diet philosophy as a Nutritionist and how she educates her children without creating fear or restriction
• Language to use to explain the impacts of sugar
• The importance of consent and control with the diet
• How to discuss bodies with children (you just don't..)
• The conversation Alexi had with her daughter around the words "skinny" and "fat"
• Practices to implement for "fussy" kids
• Navigating adult conversations about body dysmorphia and dieting around children
