"Neurodiversity is a biological fact." Montreal dietitian Naureen Hunani joins us today to share about how brain differences such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Differences can impact the feeding relationship, and how the frameworks and guidance we depend on can cause more problems than they solve if they are not inclusive of and responsive to those differences.

Eating intuitively can feel confusing, overwhelming, even scary for us adults, who may have spent a lifetime battling our bodies. But we're all born with the capacity to eat intuitively, so kids have an advantage. We can support kids' growing into intuitive eaters but helping them maintain their trust and connection with their bodies, even if we feel like we have a long way to go in our own relationship with our own body. Today we talk about how to recognize those skills developing in our kids, how to support and reinforce those skills, and how learning to trust our kids can help us learn to trust ourselves.

Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. But there are strong and powerful industries at work compelling us to believe we should all be working to achieve a narrow and arbitrary standard of smallness, thinly veiled by the banner of "health." Today we will talk about how genetics, rather than behavior, is the primary driver of body size and shape, about the forces that come together that make it so difficult to let go of trying to control our bodies, and about where to go from here. Beginning to unlearn the unhelpful things that disconnect us from our bodies doesn't magically result in us suddenly loving everything about our bodies, but it is a good first step. And even if our discomfort in our bodies persists, there are actions we can take to help us cultivate a posture and a practice of respecting our bodies.

Often, it is clear what needs to happen to shift our relationship with food to be more intuitive, but our relationship with activity remains fraught and confusing. We still think of exercise as a necessary evil, something we must do to be healthy but we'd so much rather avoid altogether. Thankfully, when we establish trust and respect with our body, our approach to movement can be much more balanced and intuitive, honoring what we know about our body and what it might need at any given time. Today's episode offers specific questions and reflections for you to begin to consider what an intuitive relationship with movement might look like for you, and Katherine includes how she navigates these questions in her own approach to physical activity.

The phrase "intuitive eating" on its own may bring up all sorts of images of binging on chocolate and French fries. But the framework of Intuitive Eating and its ten principles, based on the books by registered dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, constitute a whole model of self care and body trust with food. In Part I of this three part series, we talk a bit about the foundation of body trust upon which Intuitive Eating is based, and about the ways our body faithfully communicates its needs to us, no matter what we're hearing from the myriad of outside messages telling us how to manage our bodies. We explore the concept of unconditional permission to eat and how it is the only way to strip food of power that it doesn't deserve, and learn to trust our bodies to guide us.

Today we learn all about the role of the nervous system in our experience and struggles with food and feeding. Registered dietitian Anna Lutz shares her knowledge of the nervous system and a relatively new understanding of our somatic experience known as Polyvagal Theory, bringing a whole new layer of insight and understanding to our experience at the dinner table with our families. This interview is extremely powerful in better understanding our kids' experience, and our own as well, of meal time struggles and some perhaps unexpected ways to address those challenges in ways that not only make meals more peaceful but also promote health and optimal nutrition.

Too often, eating disorders in young people are not identified before things have gotten way out of hand and we have a very sick child. And most of the time, in retrospect, parents and caregivers can look back and see the clear early warnings signs, that they just didn't know to be concerned about at the time. Today's episode goes into how to recognize those early warning signs, what to look for and how to respond if you notice changes in your child that are concerning. The more advanced an eating disorder is upon intervention, the more difficult it is to treat. Responding appropriately and early to the early signs of disordered eating offer your child the best chance of getting back on track and possibly avoiding a long, painful, and difficult course of treatment.
