We'll show you how food and fun CAN coexist. You may need to restrict your foods, but that doesn't mean restricting your fun! We'll look at this struggle as the teacher and reflect differently on our struggles, becoming more capable and confident in tackling life's hardest challenges. Join us as we focus on how to Feed Your Can...when some foods, you just can't.™
