Raising Well Nourished Kids
We all want to raise healthy, emotionally resilient, food-adventurous kids, but what does that actually look like and how do we do it?
This podcast is a place for deep conversations and practical guidance about what it takes to raise well nourished kids, in every sense of the word. We tackle all the big topics from setting boundaries and creating healthy eating habits to instilling a good food culture in your household and fostering body positivity.
There’s a lot of information out there, much of it contradictory and confusing. This leaves parents overwhelmed and anxious about the ‘right’ thing to do when it comes to their child’s health and wellbeing. It’s time to reimagine a way to parent in this modern world that supports health, connection and the relational wellbeing of our families and precious children.
Every week we’ll bring you a new episode that draws on our combined 40 years of knowledge and experience in the fields of child psychology, behaviour and nutrition, as well as our own personal journey’s of raising healthy, thriving teenagers, in the hopes of bringing you some much needed clarity along with simple, proven strategies to help you raise well nourished kids.
We’re here to support you to support your young people in developing healthy eating habits and positive relationships with and through food.

7. Post Easter health reset, Tips & resources for getting back on track
In the latest Raising Well Nourished Kids podcast episode, Georgia & Jane discuss changes in kids' eating habits and their lack of desire for whole food after indulgent periods like Easter or holidays. The conversation explores the biological and physiological factors that influence children's inclination towards junk and processed food. It also provides insights into resetting after indulgent periods, creating boundaries, teaching kids to make informed choices, and encouraging mindfulness and moderation in food consumption.
Takeaways
- Children's desire for junk food is influenced by biological and physiological factors, such as the brain's reward system and the release of dopamine.
- Resetting after indulgent periods is important to break the cycle of unhealthy eating habits and cravings for sugary or processed foods.
- Creating boundaries around food choices can help children develop healthier eating habits.
