Feeding Disorders (ARFID & PFD) are relatively new when compared to other more established and commonly understood eating disorders, so it can be difficult to find factual, up-to-date research-backed information and support. Plus, because it's not typically considered a teen disorder, it is overlooked, misdiagnosed or confused with an eating disorder such as Anorexia Nervosa.
In this week's episode of the Healthy Teen Life podcast I'm joined by Jaclyn Pederson, CEO of Feeding Matters, to discuss the intricacies of feeding disorders in adolescents.
In particular we cover the two often overlooked conditions of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD). Due to this lack of awareness, it's now becoming more clear these conditions don't just effect babies or young children, but in fact, may be present among adolescents and even adults who were never diagnosed.
If you're a teen, young adult, or a concerned parent who believes yourself or a family member to be a picky eater, you'll want to listen in.
The episode highlights the signs, symptoms and importance accurate diagnosis; treatment options and the multidisciplinary approach needed for effective treatment; the role of genetics; how to advocate for yourself or a loved one; how to navigate the complexities of these conditions; and where to access resources that provide guidance and support.
This is one of the most comprehensive episodes on Feeding Disorders for adolescents you can find.

Climate change, and the noticeable environmental shifts we’re experiencing like rising temperatures, wild fires, and melting glacier ice, is a hot topic. We’re all concerned and seeking solutions. While the popular targets for reducing any further impact are the gasoline & fossil fuel industries, it will take a long time to shift our dependency and potentially at additional cost due to the energy sources that replace them.
