In today's episode, our guest Samantha Gollup and I discuss the importance of improving our relationship with food and our bodies, especially as parents. We talk about diet culture and generational trauma on our attitudes towards food and body image, not to mention the need for autonomy and self-regulation when it comes to eating and the importance of modeling healthy behaviors for our children.
In this episode you'll hear:
-The importance of creating a positive food environment
-Allowing children to have autonomy in their food choices
-Focusing on functionality rather than appearance
-Challenges of parents not agreeing on feeding strategies
-The impact of diet and beauty culture on parenting
Hit play for an important conversation about the need for education, open communication, and acceptance of children's individuality and genetic predispositions!
