  • Summary

  • Feeding a family is tough! How do you get kids to eat better? What if people challenge your food choices? How do you work within a budget? Food affects all aspects of our children's health but life is busy, budgets are tight, and kids can be picky and frustrating around food. Our Feeding Families podcast breaks down what every parent needs to know about nourishing their kids for strong, resilient health.

    Host Jess Sherman is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, board certified in Practical Holistic Nutrition who helps parents use food to improve mood, behaviour, and learning in their kids. She is the author of Raising Resilience: take the stress out of feeding your family and love your life, a former teacher, and mom of three.

    Jess and her guests will help you understand your child's nutritional needs and bring you inspiring food stories to help you overcome real-life food-related challenges. You'll gain clarity, new ideas, and practical strategies from this podcast, so you can nourish your kids and families, strengthen their physical and mental health, and feel confident around your food decisions.

    About the episode:
    As we wrap up season one of Feeding Families I want to address the elephants in the room - those feelings of guilt, shame, and not-enoughness that too often slide in alongside when we learn about nourishing our families.

    We’ve covered a lot this season to emphasize the powerful force food and nourishment exert on the health of our kids. But if that sense of overwhelm is creeping in, this episode is for you.

    I want to close out this year with words of encouragement and empowerment so you can confidently march into the new year with a solid plan for nourishing your family you feel good about.

Many parents roll their eyes when the topic of teenage hormones comes up. There’s general confusion about how to help girls move through puberty and a general resignation to the idea that periods can be painful and moods are bound to be volatile. But Jenn is changing all that. She helps girls and women take control of their health and hormones by understanding the power of their bodies and their cycles. Since she uses food as an integral tool for helping people manage their hormones, we talked about how we can motivate girls to embrace their bodies and support their health as they move through the teen years. Jenn drops some golden advice for any mother trying to help their teen girls make healthy choices.Guest BioJenn is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Yoga & Pilates Instructor and a Medical Exercise Specialist. She’s also a Bestselling author and host of the podcast The Simplicity Sessions and founder of The Audacious Woman business mentorship program for female entrepreneurs who desire to flow in the feminine energetics of alignment, alchemy and abundance without burning herself out. Jenn specializes in women's health + hormones. As an inspired Mom of two, she understands that true wellbeing is a journey to be enjoyed, NOT a struggle to be forced. She aims to inspire, cut the B.S, and help women create more Simplicity and Ease in all they do.Linkshttps://jennpike.com/https://jennpike.com/syncedhttps://jennpike.com/podcast/https://jennpike.com/thehormoneprojecthttps://jennpike.com/theaudaciouswoman About the Podcast, Host and Network:About our Podcast Network:The EcoParent Podcast Network helps busy families live a healthier, greener lifestyle.
