| 134 - Feeding White Flags: When to Seek Support with Speech Pathologist Emily Tyler | 22 Jul 2025 | 00:24:22 | |
When it comes to feeding our little ones, it’s not always black and white and sometimes the signs that something’s not quite right can feel subtle, confusing, or easy to dismiss. That’s why today we’re speaking with the incredibly insightful Emily Tyler, Speech Pathologist at Boob to Food, about what she calls “feeding white flags”. With over a decade of experience supporting children in their feeding journeys, Emily is here to break down everything parents need to know about infant feeding and the concept of white flags as a way to notice when feeding challenges might benefit from a little extra support, even when it’s not an obvious red flag.

Gestational diabetes (GDM) can feel overwhelming, and for many women, it comes with confusion, fear, or guilt. But a diagnosis doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong, and it certainly doesn’t mean you’re powerless. In this episode, we’re joined by Boob to Food clinic dietitian and nutritionist Niki Mohtat to explore what GDM actually is, why it happens, and how you can manage it with confidence through nourishing food, supportive lifestyle tweaks, and the right guidance. Niki Mohtat is a dietitian and nutritionist with a passion for supporting women through preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum. Her interest in prenatal nutrition began with her own pregnancies, where she saw firsthand how much of the information available to the public was outdated or unhelpful. This inspired her to dedicate her career to providing evidence-based, individualised, and practical nutrition guidance, so women can feel confident nourishing themselves and their growing baby. Niki has completed advanced training through The Institute for Prenatal Nutrition Mentorship Program under Lily Nichols, a highly sought-after and competitive prenatal certification program.

| 121 - Raising Intuitive Eaters with Alyssa from Redwood Wellbeing | 15 Apr 2025 | 00:54:15 | |
We talk a lot about nutrition—what to feed our kids, how to nourish their growing bodies, and how to make mealtimes feel less like a battleground. But food is so much more than just fuel. It’s also wrapped up in culture, emotion, connection, and often… our own baggage. In today’s episode, we’re shifting the focus to the how of feeding our children—and exploring what it really means to raise intuitive eaters. Alyssa is the founder of Redwood Wellbeing, a health coach, intuitive eating counsellor, and PDHPE teacher.

| 119 - What to Do if Your Child Has an Allergic Reaction with Dr Chaitanya Bodapati | 01 Apr 2025 | 00:34:10 | |
We’re back for part two with paediatric allergist and immunologist Dr Chaitanya Bodapati (aka Dr Chai) to continue the conversation about allergies—this time focusing on what to do if your child reacts to a food. Allergies are on the rise, and the process of introducing allergens can be anxiety-inducing for many families. But what happens when your child actually has a reaction? Whether it’s mild hives or something more serious like anaphylaxis, the path forward can feel overwhelming and unclear—especially when wait times to see a specialist can be months long.
