Hey there, it's Debbie. Today's episode is a special re-release of a favorite conversation from the archives. Unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one before. And even if you have, you just might get something completely different from it this time around.
I don't believe in kid food. Kids are human beings. Yes, we need to feed them appropriately, weaning, and that kind of stuff. But before all these processed foods and packaging and special shapes were invented, they were just eating a mashed-up or smaller pieces of what the family ate. So this whole idea that there is kid food or a special diet that appeals to them is really made up and pushed forth as a commercial addition. agenda and it has nothing to do with child nutrition or what children really can eat.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and today I'm talking with Jennifer Scribner, a nutritional therapy practitioner and author of the new book From Mac and Cheese to Veggies, Please: How to Get Your Kids to Eat New Foods, End Picky Eating Forever, and Stay Sane in the Process, which is based on Her work with hundreds of clients and details how any parent can dramatically change the diet of their pickiest kids. I know that many of us raising differently wired kids have challenges surrounding food, whether it's sensitivities to textures, intolerances, or simply our desire to get them to expand their food choices to include more greens and healthier options.
In this conversation, Jennifer and I talked about how to achieve these goals all all while eliminating battles around the dinner table. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Hey Jennifer, welcome to the podcast. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Well, I'm looking forward to talking about this. We have not done too many episodes on nutrition. And when I heard about your book about picky eaters, I think even just that phrase, picky eaters, is something that me and many of our listeners are like, oh my gosh, I need to know more about this because it Especially with differently wired kids, the issue of picky eaters is um it's something a lot of us are dealing with. So I think you're gonna have a lot of insight to share for us today.
Yeah, it's a really common struggle.
Yes, absolutely. So before we get into talking about your book, can you just first introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about who you are and I always like to ask people's personal why, so why you do the work that you do.
Sure. Yeah. So I am by education a nutritional therapy practitioner. And I got into this field for my own reasons of wanting to have clear skin. But what brought me into kind of the current why was working with nutrition and I'm also a gaps diet practitioner, gut and psychology syndrome. I primarily ended up working with kids on the autism spectrum. with sensory processing disorder or with serious gut issues, eczema, life threatening allergies. And one of the Places I was finding a lot of success was helping people with picky eating one on one. But then in the wider world I saw so many families. not making any food changes because they were so afraid that their kids wouldn't eat and they couldn't overcome any of this picky eating.
So they're just kind of sitting on the fence there. feeling like they want to make changes, but not doing it. And that is what prompted me to write the book. And that's a message I just don't think is being talked about enough that how doable this is. So I feel really passionate about whatever food changes you want to make.
