This weeks question is from Meg, “I am needing advice for how to handle nutrition and eating with my 13-year-old daughter. She's got anxiety and attention issues, and we've known for a long time that food impacts her symptoms. When she was younger, it was easier to control what she ate. Now that she's older, it's become more of a power struggle. She's eating and drinking all kinds of things that are causing problems for her, and I worry about her weight as well. We just seem to be arguing about it all the time at home, and I'm not sure how to get her to listen. Any advice?" In this episode, I will address how parents can help kids make healthier food choices.  It all starts with how you are communicating with your child or teen. If the trust and good communication aspects aren't there, it's likely nothing will change. When you listen to one another and build trust, they usually respond by being more open to change. Modeling what you hope to see in your kids and teens is very effective. Kids notice what we do. And finally, in this episode, I will provide specific strategies on how to raise healthy eaters at any age. You can submit a question by emailing us at support@drbeurkens.com with the subject line "Podcast Question." Connect with Dr. Nicole Beurkens on... Instagram Facebook Drbeurkens.com   The Controllable Aspects of Kids' Diets  Focus on what we can control as caregivers such as the food we purchase and bring home Try to stay factual, neutral, and not let our emotions or future-oriented thinking, fears, anxieties take over Kids, even in their teen years, can struggle with regulating their emotions, especially for intense/or sensitive topics such as food When caregivers are neutral rather than in an agitated state, the information is more likely to get in, even if the child doesn't acknowledge it in the moment   Modeling Healthy Food Habits is the Most Impactful Be aware of what your child is hearing and internalizing from adults, peers, and on social media/TV about food, eating, fitting in, body image, etc. Be mindful of how you act and speak about your own body, weight, food choices, etc. Focus on what you can control by modeling Not having a conversation with them about it when we're doing this Not trying to force them to eat what we're eating -We're simply being a model of how to make those decisions and how we're thinking about those things (ex. when I eat X, I notice I feel Y) Staying away from black and white thinking around “good vs bad” foods It can create anxiety, stress, and power struggles   Weight Concerns and Kids It is critical that we avoid talking about food and eating as related to weight for any child, especially teens This can set them up for dysfunctional thoughts and feelings around food and around their bodies (ex. diet culture and restriction) Instead, focus on food as providing information, fuel, and building blocks for our brains and bodies, and the physical and mental health components/effects   Are you Really Listening to Your Kids? Important to acknowledge and empathize with how they feel, even when we don't agree with them ex. "Yeah, I get it, it feels frustrating. You know what? I remember feeling frustrated when I was your age, too. It's okay to feel that way, I get it." When an opportunity arises that they initiate, spotlight (in a productive way) the food-body connection involving any symptom struggles they might be experiencing (ex. they are complaining about acne but they have been eating a lot of sugar and fast food) Use that as an opportunity to listen, hear their frustrations, and what they're experiencing, and also help them make some connections with things, both in their eating and their lifestyle Casually make the observations and open up those conversations by raising possibilities  Not doing the thing that's going to shut it down right away, which is, "Well, of course, you're breaking out because XYZ” Instead, ask them what they think might be going on   What We Can Control with Their Food Parents need to focus on what is being brought into the home, groceries, availability/timing, where you choose to eat out, etc., and not micromanaging what goes on outside the home (exceptions for children with dietary requirements or special needs). Do not become the “food police” as they can make it much more likely that they are going to sneak food, not be open, not tell you what's going on, or develop anxiety and distrust around these things This can lead to massive power struggles and breakdowns in our relationship with our kids Remember parent roles are to provide the food and when the child's role is to decide if they will eat and how much    Development and Appetite Shifts Infancy and adolescence are significant periods of growth and require more food Suggest that all families have foods readily available that kids can access at any time if they're hungry such as fruits and vegetables and nuts.    Cultivate Open Communication with Kids Be a safe place for them to bring questions, observations, concerns Keep putting things out there and let them know that you always want to answer any questions that they have, hear how they're feeling about things related to food, meals, etc. Remember being open to hearing and discussing doesn't mean you necessarily agree  It's about acknowledgment They really appreciate feeling respected in that way and feeling acknowledged   Better Brain and Behavior Diet Workshop for More Support I cover food, nutrition, eating approaches, tools, and strategies to implement as the parent, but also for the entire family There is an emphasis on eating to best support our kid's brains, which then helps to support their behavior, learning, mood, anxiety Feedback from current parents that having their older kids watch some of the videos is extremely helpful for them to hear it from somebody who is not their parent Visit drnicoleworkshops.com

The marketing flaws and treatment advice that encourage restriction and weight loss. HAES Health Sheets for Diabetes and other health concerns Self reflections to help you focus on your values to be kind and compassionate with weight neutral approaches to caring for yourself with diabetes. First take three big deep breaths and just let yourself settle… Then ask yourself “please allow me to approach this with a curious and open heart.” “How will life be better for me if I don’t emphasize losing weight as a goal for diabetes care?” “How could my life be more difficult if I choose to diet?” Body Kindness Episode 71: Athletes at Every Size and The Plight of the “Fit Fatty” with Ragen Chastain, Guinness World Record Holder, Speaker, and Fat Activist All episodes in this theme Do you have a diabetes or a pre-diabetes diagnosis?

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Evan M. Forman PhD co-editor/author of Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating Eating Disorders & Weight Concerns: Evidence-based Interventions About the book: Disordered eating, negative body image, and problems with weight have become an epidemic—and research shows that traditional treatments are not always effective. This professional resource offers proven-effective interventions using mindfulness and acceptance for treating clients with disordered eating, body image, or weight issues—and for whom other treatments have failed. Millions of people in the United States suffer from eating disorders, and dissatisfaction with weight and body type—even in individuals whose weight is considered normal—is similarly widespread. In addition, more than half of Americans could benefit from healthy weight loss. Unfortunately, not all people with eating disorders or weight concerns respond to traditional therapeutic interventions; many continue to suffer significant symptoms even after treatment. What these clients need is an integrated therapeutic approach that will prove effective in the long run—like the scientifically backed methods in this much-needed clinical guide. Edited by Ann F. Haynos, Jason Lillis, Evan M. Forman, and Meghan L. Butryn; and with contributors including Kay Segal, Debra Safer, and Hugo Alberts; Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating Eating Disorders and Weight Concerns is the first professional resource to incorporate a variety of proven-effective acceptance- and mindfulness-based approaches—such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)—into the treatment of persistent disordered eating, body image issues, and weight problems. With these evidence-based interventions, you’ll be ready to help your clients move beyond their problems with disordered eating, body dissatisfaction, and weight management once and for all. About the editor/author: Evan M. Forman, PhD, is professor and director of graduate studies for the department of psychology at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, as well codirector of the Laboratory for Innovations in Health-Related Behavior Change. His research, which is funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Obesity Society, focuses on using technology and new behavioral frameworks to enhance interventions for health behavior change, especially obesity.

Obesity and weight loss are notoriously challenging areas of research and intervention. Traditional behavioral psychology methods for weight loss are known to be ineffective in the long-term for many people. At a time of year when many of us are resolving to eat better, exercise more, and lose weight, obesity and weight loss expert Dr. Jason Lillis offers a different, evidence-based perspective on this complicated issue. In this interview, cross-posted from the podcast Psychologists Off The Clock, Dr. Diana Hill interview Dr. Lillis about his book, The Diet Trap: Feed Your Psychological Needs and End the Weight Loss Struggle Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (New Harbinger Publications, 2014).Dr. Lillis discusses his own values-based reasons for studying obesity, the importance of behavioral interventions, why the “weight loss agenda” may be an ineffective trap, and how values can support long-term commitment to health behaviors. Dr. Lillis also talks about two exercises from ACT that can help people with body appreciation and values-directed behaviors. Jason Lillis is an assistant professor at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center at Brown Medical School and the Miriam Hospital. He is a leading ACT researcher who is currently running NIH grants aimed at developing and testing ACT methods for health behavior change, with a specific focus on weight control and physical activity. He is the author of three books:The Diet Trap, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Theories of Psychotherapy), and Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating Eating Disorders and Weight Concerns, and is an editor for the Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science.

I've been helping my friend, former chronic dieter, and former "winner" of The Biggest Loser Bernie Salazar practice Body Kindness for nearly two years. (It's a process, folks!) Bernie has been stepping on the scale again and asking his doctor about his weight. He's looking for some advice from me. We spend a big chunk of this episode getting to the core of his concerns. He wants to have more energy for his daughter and he doesn't put the time into his self-care he wants to or he thinks he "should". We disentangle the "inner critic voice" from the "caregiver voice" so Bernie can stay focused on his well-being and not his body shape. Tune in to hear how I help him reframe his experiences into actionable, compassionate choices in line with his values. Then toward the end, you'll hear us both "go off" on a couple people who have been shaming folks on social media. I called it bullying and abuse. Should I have gotten that mad? Yep. And you just might get mad at it too. Get in touch with us: Rebecca@BodyKindnessBook.com Bernie@BodyKindnessBook.com --- You can subscribe to Body Kindness on iTunes and Stitcher. Enjoy the show?

What these clients need is an integrated therapeutic approach that will prove effective in the long run—like the scientifically backed methods in this much-needed clinical guide. Edited by Ann F. Haynos, Jason Lillis, Evan M. Forman, and Meghan L. Butryn; and with contributors including Kay Segal, Debra Safer, and Hugo Alberts; Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating Eating Disorders and Weight Concerns is the first professional resource to incorporate a variety of proven-effective acceptance- and mindfulness-based approaches—such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)—into the treatment of persistent disordered eating, body image issues, and weight problems. With these evidence-based interventions, you’ll be ready to help your clients move beyond their problems with disordered eating, body dissatisfaction, and weight management once and for all.

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Ann Haynos PhD co-editor/author of Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating Eating Disorders & Weight Concerns: Evidence-based Interventions About the book: Disordered eating, negative body image, and problems with weight have become an epidemic—and research shows that traditional treatments are not always effective. This professional resource offers proven-effective interventions using mindfulness and acceptance for treating clients with disordered eating, body image, or weight issues—and for whom other treatments have failed. Millions of people in the United States suffer from eating disorders, and dissatisfaction with weight and body type—even in individuals whose weight is considered normal—is similarly widespread. In addition, more than half of Americans could benefit from healthy weight loss. Unfortunately, not all people with eating disorders or weight concerns respond to traditional therapeutic interventions; many continue to suffer significant symptoms even after treatment.
