• 093: Eating Disorders Expert & Dietitian on How to Foster a Healthy Relationship with Food for Your Kids

  The very morning I did this interview, my husband was complaining about how badly he felt because of a certain number...and when I heard Heidi's final "practical" challenge to parents, I knew we had to do it. This interview was a HUGE paradigm shift for me, and you will alternately want to turn it off as it gets challenging and find yourself cheering out loud!Heidi Schauster, MS, RDN, CEDRD-S is an expert on eating disorders and talks with me today about how we as parents can foster a healthy relationship with food for our kids. We cover risk factors for eating disorders, mindful eating, how to handle treats at school and elsewhere, what "rules" parents should (and should not!) have for food in the home, the quickest way to make your child into a binge eater, how we should talk about weight and body image with our kids, and so much more.This is a MUST WATCH interview because our entire culture is disordered in how to think and talk about body image, so we have a LOT of work to do to make positive change! Heidi and I continued to talk after I ended the recording and I kept catching myself using the wrong language about food. She said, "This is great - you're creating new neural pathways right in front of my eyes!" Resources We Mentioned for Healthy Relationships with Food:Heidi's books: Nourish: How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Self (Amazon/Bookshop.org) and Nurture: How to Raise Kids Who Love Food, Their Bodies, and Themselves (Amazon/Bookshop.org)More on Ellyn Satter's division of responsibility in feedingHealth at Every SizeThe No More Picky Eating ChallengeWhat happened when the 8-year-old sneaked Halloween candy?Visit Heidi's website here or follow her on the socials: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, FacebookShop Thrive Market right here: https://kidscookrealfood.com/thrive Get four free workshops at kidscookrealfood.com/skills today.
