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.
Weâve 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.

About the episode
In this episode Jenn and Jess tackle female hormones and teen girls. Many parents roll their eyes when the topic of teenage hormones comes up. Thereâs 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.

About the episode:
âRegenerating health will start when the burden of toxic chemicals begins to lift. Without addressing this underlying burden on the body, the effort to consume nutrient-rich food is simply a way to plug the holes of vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by glyphosate.â- Kathleen DiChiara.
In this episode, Kathleen describes her dramatic journey feeding her family, how she figured out that chemicals in the food were a major trigger for her and her familyâs health issues, and how she turned things around. We have a straightforward and honest conversation about food quality, making decisions about where to spend our money, the value of keeping chemicals out, and how the phrase âlet food be thy medicineâ might be steering us in the wrong direction.
Guest Bio:
Kathleen DiChiara is a Functional Diagnostic NutritionÂź Practitioner, BioIndividual Nutrition Practitioner, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, health advocate, and trained chef. She is the founder of Rhode to Health, Inc., an internationally-recognized nutrition educator, author, researcher, speaker, mom of three, and health advocate.
Kathleen broke into the field of nutrition when at age 35, she went from being a competitive triathlete working in capital markets at a Fortune 500 company to completely disabled. At the same time, her son was diagnosed with autism and she counted 25 chronic illnesses just in her family of 5 alone! These events served as inspiration for Kathleenâs career change and commitment to reeducation.
Her most recent award-winning book, End Chronic Disease: The Healing Power of Beliefs, Behaviors, and Bacteria explores the intersection of mindset, daily habits, and the microbiome.

Nourishing Exceptional Kids - getting beyond âfixingâ and truly helping kids thrive
In this episode Jess invites Susan Baker to talk about her journey with her now 13 year old son Andrew who has autism and communicates without speaking. Susan shares her journey - from the early days to now - and talks about the impact of food and the challenges of feeding her son, along with how she came to understand and accept who he is so he could truly thrive as his best self.

She is the author of Life, Love & Autism, a blog that chronicles her familyâs journey of growth and challenge, including love, loss and an autism diagnosis.

About the episode:
What should we be feeding our teen athletes? How important is it that they fuel up with the right food and the right nutrients? In this episode, we invited Dr Kirk Gair to discuss not only what foods help and hinder child athletes, but also how nutrition helps prevent complications from head traumas like concussions. Dr Gair explains how nutrition helped him overcome his own ADHD and Touretteâs as a child football player, the top nutritional suggestions he gives to every single one of his patients - especially those who experience head injuries, and how to help your teen buy into nourishing their brains with healthy foods. He also explains how he helps his athlete patients enhance their performance and their healing using lasers.

About the episode:
When Dr Kilbane discovered the impact food was having on the skin and ear infections of one of her young patients, she got curious. Since she received little nutrition education in her medical training, that experience prompted a deep dive into how parents could use food to support their childrenâs health. Dr Kilbane explains why she now considers nutrition as a core pillar in her pediatric practice (and the 4 other pillars), she discusses some of the challenges she faces helping families learn to use food strategically, and explains what she wishes every parent knew about feeding their kids.
Guest Bio:
Dr Kilbane is a board-certified pediatrician, trained in integrative medicine. She uses the best of conventional and integrative medicines to identify and treat the root cause of childrenâs illnesses, significantly improving or resolving altogether issues like colic, reflux, eczema, recurrent ear and sinus infections, asthma, allergies, constipation or loose stools, and other GI issues such as abdominal pain. In addition to seeing individual patients at her private practice in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Kilbane gives educational lectures to parents and healthcare professionals around the globe and offers online education courses. She is also the best selling author of Healthy Kids Happy Moms - 7-Steps to Heal and Prevent Common Childhood Illnesses

About the Episode:
Food should be nourishing, but sometimes foods can be provoking hidden stress thatâs interfering with your childâs ability to grow, learn and develop! How is a parent supposed to figure out which foods are helpful and which foods are harmful, especially if they all seem like healthy options? In this episode, Jess invited Lori to talk about the impact of undiagnosed food allergies and food sensitivities on myriad developmental issues in kids including autism, ADHD, and more. Lori explains how parents can figure out which foods are helpful and what food sensitivity tests mean as she talks about her 18-year journey trying to nourish her own kids despite multiple food restrictions.
Guest Bio:
Lori is a Nutrition Consultant who has spent over a decade studying, researching and implementing nutritional interventions and other healing modalities for both her and her boys with multiple food allergies. She has developed a special passion for detecting hidden food sensitivities, helping parents understand complex conditions like lyme, seizures, autism, anaphylaxis & MCS, and uprooting digestive issues like IBD/IBS.
