Dietitian and author Heidi Schauster joins us to discuss why putting kids on gluten-free diets or other elimination diets in the name of health often backfires; how parents can help kids develop a good relationship with all foods, including demonized ones like sugar; developmentally appropriate ways to talk to kids about nutrition; why pleasure is actually more important than nutrition; and more. Heidi Schauster, MS, RD, LDN, CEDS-S, SEP is a nutrition and body image therapist, Somatic Experiencing (SE)™ practitioner, clinical supervisor, and Embodiment Warrior who writes about whole-self wellness. She has practiced in the Boston area for nearly 30 years and is the author of the award-winning book <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/nourish-how-to-heal-your-relationship-with-food-body-and-self-heidi-schauster/10067275?ean=9780999512005">Nourish: How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body and Self</a> and the new book <a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/8432/9780999512029">Nurture: How to Raise Kids Who Love Food, Their Bodies, and Themselves</a> (Bookshop affiliate links).
