Anna Lutz and Anna Mackay have a conversation with Nicole Cruz, a Registered Dietitian specializing in eating disorder recovery, intuitive eating, and family nutrition.

They discuss:

  • Age-appropriate nutrition education, and how to talk to kids about “health”.
  • Strategies to deal with adults (eg. teachers, pediatricians, nurses, coaches, family members) who speak about food in an unhelpful way in front of your kids.
  • Managing situations where a child seems interested in eating only a small selection of foods, refuses to eat vegetables or fruit, or outright rejects a prepared meal.
  • Whether sugar is really as worrisome as diet culture makes it out to be.
  • When a parent might want to consider reaching out for professional support for their child.
