Girls Gone Wellness
Girls Gone Wellness is the smart, sexy, science-backed wellness podcast flipping the script on everything you thought you knew about health.
If you’re doing all the “right” things like eating 'clean', taking the supplements, following the skincare routine, and still breaking out, burnt out, or just not feeling like yourself, you are not the problem. The problem is that the wellness world wasn’t built for real women, with real bodies, real stress, and real questions that deserve better than vague advice and viral trends.
Hosted by naturopathic medical grads Jeanette Titus and Victoria Gasparini, we’re cutting through the noise with no fear-mongering, and no fluff. Just real talk, real science, and real solutions.
This isn’t another influencer podcast. It’s evidence-based, unfiltered, and actually makes sense.
Welcome to Girls Gone Wellness-where wellness is hot, smart, and finally feels like it’s for you.

Food, iPads & Childhood Obesity with Dr. Cayla Bronicheski, ND
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Childhood obesity is one of the most important health conversations we are not having enough of, and when we do talk about it, it is often filled with shame, blame, and oversimplified advice.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Cayla Bronicheski, a naturopathic doctor based in Sudbury, Ontario, to unpack childhood obesity through a more nuanced and compassionate lens.
We talk about why childhood obesity rates have increased, what the “obesogenic environment” actually means, how food access, cost of living, screen time, school schedules, daycare settings, and family stress all play a role, and why this conversation can never just be about willpower or parenting.
We also get into BMI, how clinicians should approach weight-related conversations with kids and parents, the risks of weight stigma, and how to support a child’s health without increasing the risk of disordered eating.
Plus, Dr. Cayla shares practical tips for parents around breakfast, picky eating, grocery shopping, frozen foods, snacks, movement, screen time, and creating healthy family habits without moralizing food.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why childhood obesity is a multifactorial issue
- How BMI should and should not be used in kids
- How to talk about weight without causing shame
- The role of screen time, sleep, movement, and food environment
- Practical nutrition tips for busy families
- GLP-1 medications and surgical options in pediatric guidelines
- How to support kids without increasing eating disorder risk
- What parents need to hear if they feel overwhelmed
This episode is for parents, clinicians, and anyone who grew up feeling judged or misunderstood because of their body.
