How Dads Can Help with Nutrition with Dezi Abeyta

April 1, 2021

Before I closed my private practice last May, I noticed more and more fathers were calling in to make appointments and seek help for their family’s nutrition.

Dads have such a powerful role in helping their children develop healthy eating habits, and they can be a significant role model for the entire family. Today’s guest joins me to help us understand the role fathers play in their children’s nutrition.

How Dads Can Help Kids with Healthy Eating

Dezi Abeyta is the “Dad’s Dietitian” and Founder of Food Talk Nutrition, an online coaching service that helps dads build muscle, confidence, and success for their families with online nutrition and lifestyle coaching. He’s here to talk all about being a father and how to use the role to help kids eat healthily.

Join us this week as we discuss how dads can help kids with healthy eating and some barriers that fathers face in terms of having an impact on their children’s nutrition. Dezi shares the ways he influences his own daughter’s eating habits, and how fathers and families can move past obstacles to embrace the role of Dad as nutrition influencer for the family.

Our role as parents is not to get our kids to eat, it’s to bring the foods and a variety of them to the table and let our kids figure out the eating part. Discover how dads can shine by doing this.

"In most cases, when I talk to Dads – even just those who are clients and friends – we’re supposed to provide. We’re supposed to be heard from an authoritarian point of view, but we’re not really supposed to be heard from a vulnerable space." Click To Tweet
