When we trust in our body's beautiful wisdom, we can see our struggles with food, family feeding, and body image in a new light. The Feeding Humans podcast dives deep into what it means to be human—our complexities and flaws, our elegant physiology, our absolute uniqueness, our rich lived experiences. All these shape the way we relate to food. And because our little ones are human too, our family feeding challenges suddenly make a lot more sense. This podcast will help you find peace with yourself, parent with confidence, and raise confident kids who trust their bodies. These conversations are based on a firm belief that bodies are good. All bodies, of all sizes, shapes, colors, and abilities. Topic areas include child development, picky eating, extreme feeding challenges, eating disorders, body image concerns, and intuitive eating to help you understand how the human body longs not to be our enemy, but our partner. And from there, we can intuitively care for ourselves and nourish our loved ones in a joyful, connecting way.

    With all the chatter, handwringing, and noise about all the different nutritional concerns and questions we should have, it's tough to know how to get your needs met. In today's episode, Katherine lays out a specific framework for prioritizing your most important, most basic nutritional needs, so that we see the big picture and don't get lost in the details that matter less. Prioritizing the most important nutritional need of adequacy can encourage more ease and flexibility in eating, and allows us to relax our grip on trying to control and perfectly optimize our eating.

    Your Body Naturally Craves Balance and Variety

    When we consider relaxing our tight grip of control of our eating, letting go of food rules and incorporating an “all foods fit” mentality, many of us worry that we will be out of control around those most favorite foods, the ones you always thought you needed to keep out of the house and not allow yourself to eat them at all, because you lose control. Today's episode talks about why this is a myth, using examples of how we experience the rhythm of our lives and changing seasons. After the holidays, we enjoy the peace and calm of the New Year. In the spring, we are just as happy to see the last snow melt as we were to see the first snow arrive a few months ago. And the school year we were so eager to see begin in the fall, we are thrilled to close that chapter and move into the carefree, long days of summer. Our bodies also crave this balance, and eating those highly palatable foods all the foods would be sort of like the chaos of the holiday season all year long: it's too much. We need balance, and if we give ourselves permission to enjoy different foods, our bodies will both appreciate that and be ready to enjoy something different next. It may take some time, if our restrictive mentality around those foods is deeply ingrained, but ultimately we can trust our bodies to crave balance and variety all on its own. Mentioned in this episode: Worst End of School Mom Ever, Jen Hatmaker My email for episode topic ideas: katherine@kznutrition.comFind Katherine online: www.instagram.com/katzavrdwww.kznutrition.com Here's an easy way to rate the podcast: https://ratethispodcast.com/feedinghumansMentioned in this episode: Kendra Adachi and The Lazy Genius https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/lazyMy email for episode topic ideas: katherine@kznutrition.comFind Katherine online: www.instagram.com/katzavrdwww.kznutrition.com Here's an easy way to rate the podcast: https://ratethispodcast.com/feedinghumans

    It's back to school season, and whatever relief we felt to reclaim the routine and structure of school days has probably given way to remember that school weeks are stressful too, particularly when it comes to feeding, school lunches, tired kids, and stressed parents! In today's episode, Canadian dietitian Terri Ney, RD (sounds like "high," not "hay") shares some encouragement and practical tips for parents around school lunches and other common school day feeding challenges. She has lots of specific suggestions for making school days and school lunches easier. We talk about the age old debate around packed lunch vs. school hot lunch, highlighting a privilege many Americans take for granted (Canadians do not currently have a school lunch program, despite lots of advocacy effort). And Katherine and Terri can't help but wander into the subject of food moralizing messages at school, why they aren't great, and what to do when you face this in your own kids' school.

    Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. But there are strong and powerful industries at work compelling us to believe we should all be working to achieve a narrow and arbitrary standard of smallness, thinly veiled by the banner of "health." Today we will talk about how genetics, rather than behavior, is the primary driver of body size and shape, about the forces that come together that make it so difficult to let go of trying to control our bodies, and about where to go from here. Beginning to unlearn the unhelpful things that disconnect us from our bodies doesn't magically result in us suddenly loving everything about our bodies, but it is a good first step. And even if our discomfort in our bodies persists, there are actions we can take to help us cultivate a posture and a practice of respecting our bodies.

    Often, it is clear what needs to happen to shift our relationship with food to be more intuitive, but our relationship with activity remains fraught and confusing. We still think of exercise as a necessary evil, something we must do to be healthy but we'd so much rather avoid altogether. Thankfully, when we establish trust and respect with our body, our approach to movement can be much more balanced and intuitive, honoring what we know about our body and what it might need at any given time. Today's episode offers specific questions and reflections for you to begin to consider what an intuitive relationship with movement might look like for you, and Katherine includes how she navigates these questions in her own approach to physical activity.

    The phrase "intuitive eating" on its own may bring up all sorts of images of binging on chocolate and French fries. But the framework of Intuitive Eating and its ten principles, based on the books by registered dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, constitute a whole model of self care and body trust with food. In Part I of this three part series, we talk a bit about the foundation of body trust upon which Intuitive Eating is based, and about the ways our body faithfully communicates its needs to us, no matter what we're hearing from the myriad of outside messages telling us how to manage our bodies. We explore the concept of unconditional permission to eat and how it is the only way to strip food of power that it doesn't deserve, and learn to trust our bodies to guide us. Mentioned in this episode: Intuitive Eating books, literature, and resources: https://www.intuitiveeating.orgDrop In Group Coaching: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1hquUAWs37bIklLk1nSO90HHlHSZ2dRfWuL1sJtLkXMYFind Katherine online: www.instagram.com/katzavrdwww.kznutrition.com Here's an easy way to rate the podcast: https://ratethispodcast.com/feedinghumans

    Too often, eating disorders in young people are not identified before things have gotten way out of hand and we have a very sick child. And most of the time, in retrospect, parents and caregivers can look back and see the clear early warnings signs, that they just didn't know to be concerned about at the time. Today's episode goes into how to recognize those early warning signs, what to look for and how to respond if you notice changes in your child that are concerning. The more advanced an eating disorder is upon intervention, the more difficult it is to treat. Responding appropriately and early to the early signs of disordered eating offer your child the best chance of getting back on track and possibly avoiding a long, painful, and difficult course of treatment.

    Today Katherine is diving in to how the Division of Responsibility feeding dynamics framework can be applied to adults trying to better understand their struggles in their own relationship with food. In feeding dynamics, the parents have certain jobs to do in feeding, and kids have their own jobs in eating. Adults can think of their own behavior in feeding themselves in terms of having both roles to play within themselves. This perspective can be tremendously helpful whether you have kids or not, because we have all been part of a parent child relationship at some point in our lives and have some idea of how this relationship functions, or should function in ideal circumstances. Maybe we have wounds related to our own histories in these relationships, and maybe they have a lot to do with our relationship with food as adults. Regardless, understanding the different roles you play in your task of feeding yourself can help clarify any struggles you might be having and can light the way toward compassion and healing.Find Katherine online: www.instagram.com/katzavrdwww.kznutrition.com Mentioned in this episode: Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility in feeding https://www.ellynsatterinstitute.org/how-to-feed/the-division-of-responsibility-in-feeding/Katherine's take on Division of Responsibility and making it work in your family:Feeding Humans episode 2Explanation of the bidirectional chemistry equation and equilibrium as it relates to our bodies and experiences with food: Feeding Humans episode 1Here's an easy way to rate the podcast: https://ratethispodcast.com/feedinghumans

    Today's episode starts out with a follow up from the previous discussion about the Division of Responsibility in family feeding. Katherine offers a couple of tips to address common challenges that often arise and trip up parents in the early implementation of this feeding framework. Then, we will dive into the topic of sugar and sweets and how to manage them with kids. Katherine will explain why sugar isn't the boogeyman that conventional wisdom would have us believe, and why it's important to support kids establishing a functional relationship with sweets to give them the opportunity to build skills around these highly palatable foods. Ultimately, we want kids to be able to take care of themselves, feed themselves well and enjoy food without being ruled by it. Katherine offers two ways you can serve sweets in your family that allows kids to develop a balanced relationship with sweets and get to know their bodies. Find Katherine online: www.instagram.com/katzavrdwww.kznutrition.com Mentioned in this episode: Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility in feeding https://www.ellynsatterinstitute.org/how-to-feed/the-division-of-responsibility-in-feeding/Anna Lutz, MPH RD/CEDRD and Sunnyside Up Nutrition https://sunnysideupnutrition.comhttps://lutzandalexander.comHere's an easy way to rate the podcast: https://ratethispodcast.com/feedinghumans

    In today's episode, Katherine talks about the meaning behind the title "Feeding Humans." She will explain how our relationships with our human bodies, as well as our relationships with our kids, are dynamic interactions that are always in flux, and that we can't approach these relationships with a controlling agenda. Both the human experience and the physical human body are rich and complex, and both influence one another. This deeper understanding of what it is to be a human, and to raise humans, will be a guiding force in all of our future conversations about how we relate to our bodies, how we parent, why we struggle, and how to heal. Rate and review the podcast: www.ratethispodcast.com/feedinghumansConnect with Katherine online:www.kznutrition.comwww.instagram.com/katzavrd
