Did you know that 90% of serotonin, an essential neurotransmitter for mood and attention, is made in the gut? This connection between the gut and brain explains why digestive health plays a crucial role in a child's emotions, behavior, and even their ability to focus. That's why it's important that we eat foods that support gut health and enhance gut-brain communication while also reducing triggers that impact digestion and overall well-being.The good news is that small changes can make a big difference. Even the pickiest eaters can make progress when their nervous system is supported and their gut is given the right nutrients to thrive. Let's dive deeper into how gut health influences behavior, focus, and emotional regulation, and explore simple, effective ways to nourish your child's digestive system. Not sure where to start?

In this episode, I am speaking with Elisa Kim, an award-winning design professor, and founder of Studio EGGI which is a functional designed mini kitchen for kids. She specializes in using play and design to help kids develop a positive relationship with food making mealtimes less of a battle and more of an opportunity for exploration and connection. Many parents believe food play is messy, wasteful, or unproductive, but research has shown that kids who engage with food touching, smelling, and even playing with it are likelier to try and enjoy new foods. And that is exactly what we talk about in today's show, how a play-based approach to food helps with picky eating, fosters independence, and helps make meal times fun again! You will love this conversation with Elisa, learning about Studio EGGI and how it can bring a magical transformational experience to meal times in your kitchen as it has in mine.   Highlights from this episode: How embracing food play tackles picky eating Inviting kids into the kitchen to explore new foods Using real kitchen tools builds confidence The concept of Studio EGGI + non-mealtime ideas Creating a Montessori/real life approach in your home Practical tips for mealtime Raising confident eaters Show sponsors: Ultimate Baby Nutrition Consulting - Send me an email at marniwasserman.com/contact with the title “I want to work with you” if you're interested in working with me to support your baby starting solids Paleovalley - Save 15% off your 1st order of Paleovalley products, discount applied at checkout Related links: Follow @marniwasserman and @ultimatehealthpodcast on Instagram for Sarelle and Hayden updates Studio EGGI - Save $100 off when you use the code Marni100 at checkout Follow Studio EGGI on Facebook and Instagram Subscribe to TUBP in Apple Podcasts and Spotify Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links.

"When we're stressed at mealtimes, our kids pick up on it—we hold the keys to their nervous system." "Small changes make a big difference! Mix homemade and store-bought nuggets together, and kids often won't notice the difference." "The Family Food Challenge is about making mealtime fun and removing pressure—it's not about forcing kids to eat." "It can take kids 15 to 20 times to accept a new flavor or texture, so don't give up after the first try!" "If your child is gagging, panicking, or avoiding entire food groups, it may be time to seek professional support." "A simple zinc assay test at home can tell you whether your child is deficient in zinc, which impacts taste and appetite." "One of our team members' sons went from eating 5 foods to over 200 just by addressing food sensitivities and using these strategies!" "Remove the pressure from mealtimes—focus on connection, not control, and watch the stress disappear."r Dana Kay Resources:

If you have a picky eater at home, you're not alone! I'm right in the trenches with you. I've noticed that many parents find mealtime to be one of the most frustrating parts of the day, wondering how to get their child to try new foods without a battle. That's why I had to chat with Amanda Blechman, a registered dietitian, recipe developer, and mom of two, to help us parents navigate the tricky world of picky eating. I loved this episode with Amanda — she shared expert insights on what parents might be unintentionally not helping the situation, practical strategies to expand our child's palate without pressure or power struggles, and so much more. Whether you're dealing with a toddler who refuses vegetables or a child stuck in a chicken-nuggets-only phase, this episode is packed with helpful tips to make mealtimes smoother and more enjoyable for the whole family. Who is Amanda Blechman? Amanda Blechman is a registered dietitian, recipe developer, and mom of two young children who loves to combine her passions of food and family in her work. As part of the Nutrition and Scientific Affairs team at Danone North America, Amanda provides scientific guidance to support nutrition communications, outreach, and education for healthcare professionals and consumers. Amanda is also a creative cook and recipe developer, and in her free time, she enjoys sharing helpful tips on social media to make family meals less daunting for parents and caregivers. What Did We Discuss? As I mentioned, I got to chat with Amanda about picky eaters and how we can help them become adventurous eaters. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: When you hear someone say they have a picky eater, what's the first thing that goes through your mind? Why do you believe some kids are picky eaters and others are more adventurous eaters? What tips do you have for parents with kids who are picky eaters? Are there things that parents might be doing wrong that are not helping their kids with their eating? What are things parents shouldn't do? How do you feel about “letting them starve”? Some parents refuse to make another, different meal for their picky child and say, “If you're not going to eat what the family is eating, you're not going to eat at all.” What are your thoughts on this? If you disagree with it, what should parents do instead? What are some easy ways for parents to introduce and encourage new food into their child's diet? If parents could do one thing today to really help their child become a more adventurous eater, what would it be? Can you share some easy tips on creating a well-rounded lunchbox for a picky eater? What do parents not know about pediatric nutrition but need to know? Where do you see the future of pediatric nutrition heading, and what impact do you hope to have on the industry? I know all too well — and Amanda confirmed! — that conquering picky eating doesn't happen overnight. However, with patience, consistency, and these different approaches, parents can help their children build a more positive relationship with food. Amanda's expert advice reminds us that mealtimes should be about exploration, not coercion, and that small wins — like a child simply touching a new food — are steps in the right direction.

We all need to eat to survive. We assume that eating is second nature. But did you know that there are many factors that impact how a person consumes food?  We often hear the term “picky eater,” it's often just an assumption that this type of behavior goes along with childhood development. But did you know that there is more to this issue than meets the eye? I talked with Jacklyn Penderson, the CEO of Feeding Matters, about a little known disorder called Pediatric Feeding Disorder. If you haven't ever heard of this you're not alone. I have worked with many children and adolescents who I can see clearly had this issue, but we never had a good way to screen for it or truly understand it. If you have a child, or know of a family who has children that might be suffering from this little known condition, you will want to listen to this episode.  PFD is a real condition and requires early intervention in order to effectively manage it. I truly was inspired by our conversation and I think you will be too. Learn more about Feeding Matters and follow them on Instagram.

Episode Summary In this episode, we sit down with Kerry Lett, a registered dietitian and certified lactation counselor who specializes in pediatric nutrition, picky eating, food allergies, and maternal health. Kerry offers a wealth of insight on feeding children, from the early stages of introducing solids to navigating picky eating in toddlers and adolescence. They dive into the important differences between feeding neurotypical and neurodivergent children, bust common myths surrounding picky eating, and discuss effective, research-backed strategies for making mealtime a less stressful experience for both parents and kids. Whether you're a parent with a picky eater or someone interested in child feeding strategies, this episode is packed with practical advice and fresh perspectives Episode Highlights Kerry's Journey into Pediatric Nutrition Carrie shares her path from wanting to be a pediatrician to becoming a registered dietitian specializing in pediatric and maternal nutrition. She discusses the importance of preventing health issues before they arise, rather than just treating them once they occur, and how she focuses on supporting families through every stage of life. The Challenges of Feeding Kids Today The conversation shifts to the common challenges parents face when it comes to feeding their children, especially with the overwhelming amount of conflicting information available online. Kerry explains how parents often feel lost or confused when it comes to starting solids and managing picky eating. Picky Eating: Is It Becoming More Prevalent? Kerry discusses the growing trend of picky eating, pointing out that sensory issues and neurodivergence may be contributing factors. She shares insights into why picky eating seems more common today and how societal and environmental changes may be influencing this shift. Division of Responsibility in Feeding Kerry explores the "division of responsibility" model popularized by Ellen Satter, where parents are responsible for providing healthy meals, and children are responsible for deciding whether or not to eat. She explains how this framework can be adapted for picky eaters and provides tips on balancing autonomy with structure during mealtime. The Role of Sensory Exploration in Feeding Sensory exploration is a key part of Kerry's approach. She emphasizes the importance of letting kids explore food in a non-threatening way, from touching and smelling to playing with food before even thinking about eating it. This helps build familiarity and reduces fear around new foods. How to Transition from Purees to Solids Kerry offers advice on introducing solids to babies, explaining that combining purees with baby-led weaning can be a successful approach. She discusses the benefits of both methods and how they can be used together to teach children to enjoy a variety of textures and flavors. Handling Picky Eating in Adolescents The conversation wraps up with a look at picky eating in adolescence, a less commonly discussed topic. Kerry talks about the importance of setting boundaries, offering healthy snack options, and guiding teens toward more balanced food choices without controlling their autonomy. Resources Mentioned Kerry Lett's Practice: Kerry is the founder of Milestones Pediatric and Maternal Nutrition, where she and her team offer personalized nutrition counseling and lactation consulting to help families thrive. Website: Milestones Pediatric and Maternal Nutrition Instagram: @milestonesnutrition Books & Approaches Referenced: Ellen Satter's Division of Responsibility: Kerry references Ellen Satter's model of feeding where parents provide the "what, when, and where" of feeding, while kids decide if and how much to eat. The SOS Approach to Feeding by Dr. Kay Toomey: This multidisciplinary approach is crucial for children with sensory needs, developmental issues, or fear and aversions around food. "From Yuck to Yum" Framework: Kerry shares her personalized approach to feeding based on evidence-based strategies, blending concepts from Satter's and Toomey's work.
