#24 - Moms Get Real - Guiding Our Kids To Love Food, With Dietitian Sally Kuzemchak

In a diet-obsessed world, how do we raise our kids to grow up
with a healthy relationship with food? My guest today is Sally
Kuzemchak of Real Mom Nutrition, and we share our philosophies
about feeding children. Sally explains how she’s allowing her
children to experience all foods and teach them about balance
without restriction. Find out what happened when Sally
experimented with giving her kids access to ‘forbidden’ food. We
also talk about food fear mongering, the crazy pressure put on
Moms to serve up perfect nutritionally balanced food, as well as
the importance of finding our “caregiver voice”.
