71 - Jill Castle - Understanding Kids' Nutrition

Nutrition is an important part of children's health, affecting not just their growth and development, but also their physical and mental well-being. A balanced diet of nutritious food is essential for children to grow into healthy adults. As parents, it is essential to understand what kids' nutrition is and how it impacts their health. If your kids are picky eaters, it can be a challenge to get them to eat right. One of the missions of our guest Jill Castle is to make nutrition enjoyable and joyous, understandable. She wants parents to feel empowered when they're preparing their family's meals, rather than overwhelmed with the vast information out there. And that's what we will talk about in today's episode!
As one of the nation's premier childhood nutrition experts and a paradigm shifter who blends current research, practical application and common sense, Jill inspires audiences to think differently about feeding kids. A sought-after speaker, advisor, and media contributor, Jill's impact on influencing good nutrition has reached TEDx and a range of nutrition, medical, government, and parent audiences. Currently, Jill serves on the Board of Advisors of Parents Magazine, and is the nutrition advisor to a handful of privately held child nutrition companies. She is the creator of http://TheNourishedChild.com (TheNourishedChild.com), a parent nutrition education website and author of the books, Eat Like a Champion, Try New Food, The Smart Mom’s Guide to Starting Solids, The Smart Mom’s Guide to Healthy Snacking, and co-author of Fearless Feeding. She pens The Nourished Child blog and interviews experts on her podcast of the same name.

"A lot of parents that I have worked with have grown themselves just by learning about how to feed their own children; it can be a real window into your own relationship with food as well."-Jill Castle
