Because you need a completely different angle to work on!
Check out my latest video! It will show you how to help your child warm up to new foods, become more interested, and eventually be brave enough and interested in trying them...without even taking a bite!

Carbs are not the enemy. Neither is protein. But right now, your teen athlete is probably hearing both of those things online, along with some other advice that could actually hurt their performance.

I just posted a video breaking down five pieces of nutrition advice teen athletes are picking up from social media right now, and why each one works against them instead of for them.

If your teen has mentioned cutting carbs, loading up on protein, trying keto, or "getting leaner" to perform better, this one's for you. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrgpk...

What's the advice your teen athlete has come home repeating? I'd love to know what you're dealing with.

I have raised 4 athletes, worked with young athletes in my practice, and even wrote a book about sports nutrition for youth athletes and one of the things I have consistently seen is the WRONG fuel going in the body!

This video gives you "the basics" for understanding what to feed the young athlete (and why) - and let me tell you, IT'S DIFFERENT than what an adult athlete needs!

If you have bouts of feeling guilty that your picky eater isn't improving or eating better, but is actually getting worse and more fussy, this video will help you step back and see if you are playing a role in their picky eating.

I made this video to help you see that some of this is a natural phase, some of it is your child, and perhaps some of it is related to you...no blame, no shame. Just a hopeful path forward.

Let me know how this resonates!

When a teen athlete is under-fueling, or not eating enough calories to cover their growth and exercise, it can be hard to pinpoint. Often, teen athletes look like they're eating healthy...but when you crunch the numbers, they aren't covering their needs.

Instead of crunching calories in vs. calories out, you can look at these 4 signs - they tell you without a doubt that your teen athlete is under-fueled.

Watch this video to understand it all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdsfg...

Today I posted PART 2 to my "Pooping Accidents" video...which is really about chronic constipation. If you are dealing with this with your kiddo - this is a must watch!

I made this video because I've had so many parents misunderstand poop accidents with their child.

They think their kid isn't paying attention, has accidents on purpose, has a GI problem.

Well, yes, there IS a problem (watch Part 1 -- https://youtu.be/8JriACXqYJk) but it's almost never on purpose.

Give it a watch (both videos actually), and let me know your questions and what you think! I hope parents who watch will have a better understanding of chronic constipation and encopresis!

Have you ever used dessert as a reward for eating?

Be honest. No judgment. 💛

I break down in my latest video why rewards can unintentionally increase power struggles in picky eaters.

If you want a calmer, more confident eater long-term, this is a must-watch.
