Feeding kids well doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this episode, I’m sharing the top 5 things I’m doing right now to support my children’s health—not just today, but well into their future.

These five strategies are the backbone of my Five Days to Healthier Kids Challenge, and I’ve crafted this episode to give you a strong starting point. Whether you’re navigating the chaos of fussy eating, unsure about food additives, or simply wanting to raise children who enjoy nutritious foods without pressure, this episode is packed with real talk and evidence-based advice.

I’ll walk you through how to simplify your approach and avoid falling into the trap of doing it all at once. Just pick one area to start—and know you’re already making a big difference.

What we cover in this episode:

1. Gut health is everything
Why your child’s gut is the control centre of their health—and how simple foods can nurture it.

2. No-pressure variety wins
How to support fussy eaters by shifting the feeding environment, not the food.

3. Food additives under the microscope
Which preservatives to avoid and why they matter for children’s behaviour and gut health.

4. Smart sugar swaps
How to reduce your child’s sugar intake (without the meltdowns or guilt).

5. Raising mindful eaters
Why our words and actions around food shape our children’s long-term relationship with eating.
