Description

T minus 2 days until a candy avalanche is at our doorsteps!

Thankfully, my guest today, Nicole Cruz, RD is here to take some weight off our shoulders.

Nicole is the founder of Nourish Together, a shame-free approach to family nutrition. As a Registered Dietitian and mom of three, Nicole supports parents in raising confident eaters who can eat a variety, listen to their body cues, and not obsess over sweets or other ‘treats’.

We start off our conversation naming many of the understandable fears around sugar, and how sometimes our fears end up exacerbating the fascination! Nicole shares two really important factors that help take sugar off it’s pedestal and teach an intuitive eating approach. She then gave a lot of practical advice for managing all the holiday sweets to come, Halloween and beyond.

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

  • What to do if your child is OBSESSED with sweets
  • The enemies of intuitive eating - scarcity and restriction
  • What one word matters most in our language around food

DON'T MISS-

  • Whether or not she recommends using the “Switch Witch” or other trades for Halloween candy
