Feeding Picky Eaters with Dr. Natalie Muth, co-author of The Picky Eater Project

Feeding Picky Eaters

As parents, we feel a lot of responsibility to provide our children with nutritious food to boost their growth and development. But what happens when your child just won’t eat it?
Most children will go through a picky stage at some time or other, and that can make mealtimes super stressful for mom and dad. If you find yourself cooking multiple meals, or fighting a daily battle with your child to eat something other than hot dogs, then this episode is for you!      
Today, I had the chance to chat with my friend Dr. Natalie Muth. Dr. Muth is an MD and an RD, who specializes in pediatrics. She co-authored The Picky Eater Project with Sally Sampson and developed a six-week program to help parents with feeding picky eaters and work through the picky stages with their children.  
Dr. Muth believes that healthy living should be accessible to everyone. Through her philanthropy, healthy weight clinic, and her own pediatric practice, Dr. Muth merges together her extensive knowledge of nutrition and medicine to encourage parents and children to have a healthy relationship with food.

We will also pick apart why picky eating habits develop and give you some strategies for feeding picky eaters, even winning tactics to try out on your pickiest kiddo!
It is an info-packed episode today, so let’s get started.
