Nutritionist and author Laura Thomas joins us to discuss what it’s like for kids living in the long shadow of “clean eating,” the “almond mom” trend on TikTok, the "wellness to woo pipeline," how parents and caregivers can let go of wellness-culture beliefs about food for themselves and their kids, and more. Laura Thomas is an anti-diet Registered Nutritionist. Her clinical work focuses on supporting parents and families to end intergenerational dieting and body shame, and work towards a greater sense of embodiment and ease in their relationship with food. She supports families of children experiencing a wide range of feeding and eating challenges, such as concerns with weight, very selective eating, food preoccupation, and other feeding and eating differences. Laura also runs the newsletter, podcast, and community <a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://laurathomas.substack.com/">Can I Have Another Snack?</a> on Substack, where she is exploring bodies, appetite, and identity with a focus on parenting. She is the author of two books: <a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/laura-thomas/just-eat-it/9781509893911"> Just Eat It</a> and <a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/laura-thomas/how-to-just-eat-it/9781529043693"> How To Just Eat It</a>.
