Hello everyone! Welcome back to the podcast. It has been a while since I’ve shared an interview with you and I’m excited about this one because I welcome back a former guest and one of the coaches who works inside Wayza Health. Christina Claytor, the founder of Mindful Health Revolution, joins me again but this time to talk about raising her two young daughters as intuitive eaters. She’s here to enlighten us with her story and the truth about what it really takes to instill and maintain intuitive eating in your children.
Christina’s two daughters are 4 and nearly 2 and she and her husband are raising them as intuitive eaters. So what does that look like? Christina explains the many conversations that go into helping her kids navigate food and hunger but also the many conversations with family members about how she is raising her daughters to avoid food rules and diet culture. She explains her experience with the common myth that if you let kids eat sugar that’s all they’ll eat, how to still say no and set reasonable boundaries without labelling food as good or bad, and how to navigate your feelings about food waste and snacks when guiding kids through intuitive eating. This episode is a glimpse into the reality of bringing intuitive eating into children’s lives and teaching them mindfulness about food.
