Miscellaneous
I was a terrible eater. My kids eat everything Our food preferences are influenced by genes, senses, repeated exposure & modeling. You can avoid and even start to correct picky eating. I had severe food aversions including texture issues. I still struggle with a lot of foods and my diet is probably more limited than your average holistic wellness professional. You'll never catch me eating an avocado but getting nutrient dense, mineral rich food is still a huge priority for me. I eat far more foods than I used to and I've been able to introduce many many more foods to my children and avoided picky eating in them. My biggest secret? I’m the mom and I get to choose what and when they try things. No one pressured me into giving them foods. This episode goes over: How I started introducing flavor before they were eating Why you should skip baby cereal and teething foods Why we don't make separate "kid" food How I get them to try everything When to let them assert some food independence Links to the cool stuff talk about in the episode Naked Whey Powder Want healthy snack & travel food ideas?
