Episode 87 : What I say very differently after 25 years as a paediatric dietitian

Monday, April 13, 2026 • Duration 20:32

In this episode, I'm sharing how my nutrition advice has changed over 25 years as a paediatric dietitian—and why it matters for you and your family. When it comes to navigating a healthy diet for the family, the advice out there can feel overwhelming, contradictory, and at times, just plain wrong.

Over the years, I've had to unlearn a lot. From outdated beliefs about fats and calories to what truly supports children's nutrition, this episode is about cutting through the noise and getting back to what actually works—simple, evidence-based, and grounded in real food.

In this episode, I cover:

Why I no longer fear healthy fats
Butter vs margarine: what I now recommend
How my thoughts on food additives has changed
Why a calorie is not just a calorie
Rethinking picky eating strategies

This episode will keep you up to date with the latest nutrition evidence from Karina - Paediatric Dietitian.

If you've got a picky eater or a fussy eater at home who lives on pasta, bread, crackers or beige foods, then this episode is for you.

Why kids get stuck on "white foods"
Why common feeding strategies fail
What's really driving picky eating.

Monday, November 10, 2025 • Duration 21:20

In this episode of The Easy Feed Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that so many parents quietly worry about — children who are underweight or struggling to gain weight. Whether it's a baby not feeding well, a toddler who's suddenly lost interest in food, or a teenager skipping meals, understanding the "why" behind poor weight gain is key.

From feeding issues in babies to food sensitivities, intolerances, and gut health problems in older children.

3. Supporting neurodivergent children

Monday, October 27, 2025 • Duration 23:18

Episode 75: Feeding Kids in the Fast Lane – Three Simple Tips for Time-Poor Parents

Hi all! Karina here. This week on The Easy Feed Podcast, we're talking about something I know so many of us struggle with — how to feed our kids well when life feels like a constant race. Between work, school runs, sport, and everything in between, family nutrition can quickly fall down the list. But it doesn't have to.

In this episode, I share three simple, practical tips to help you nourish your family with ease — no overhauls, no guilt, and no complicated plans. These are strategies I use myself as a mum and paediatric dietitian to keep meals balanced, nutritious, and realistic for busy families.

If you've ever found yourself reaching for takeaway because the day got away from you, this one's for you.

Five Discussion Highlights

1. Plan loosely, not perfectly
Why having a rough weekly meal rhythm — not a rigid plan — can simplify your week and reduce dinnertime stress.
2. The 3-3-3 method
How to create structure and calm
3. Shop smart, shop intentionally
How to make better supermarket choices that support a healthy diet for fussy eaters — and avoid the snack trap.
4. Connection over perfection
Why calm, connected mealtimes matter more than every bite of broccoli.
5. Small wins add up
How small, consistent changes build momentum and long-term healthy eating habits.

Episode 74: Realistic Ways to Reduce Kids' Junk Snacks

Monday, October 13, 2025 • Duration 22:38

As a Paediatric Dietician and mum, I know snacks can make or break the day. In this episode, I share three realistic, low-stress strategies to cut back on ultra-processed "sometimes foods" without going cold turkey.

We look at why kids crave salty-sweet, crunchy packets, how "fast sugars" spike and crash energy and mood, and the simple swaps that stabilise blood sugars, support gut health, and keep children satisfied. If you're juggling school runs, lunchboxes and picky or fussy eaters, this is your quick, easy food roadmap to more nutritious foods—minus the overwhelm.

Five discussion highlights

Whole-food first
Smarter packets
One homemade fix
Dopamine & "fast sugars"
Progress, not perfection

Episode 73: What You Need to Know About Pesticides in Our Food

Monday, September 29, 2025 • Duration 21:08

Welcome back to The Easy Feed. In this episode, I'm unpacking an issue that has sparked plenty of concern—pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables, and what that means for our children's nutrition.

This conversation follows my recent appearance on Sunrise Channel 7, where we explored the latest findings on blueberries and pesticide testing. The research revealed banned chemicals showing up in local samples and raised questions about outdated safety guidelines.

As a paediatric dietitian, my focus is always on keeping food both safe and nourishing. Fruit and vegetables are essential for children's health, so we need practical, evidence-based steps to reduce risks while ensuring our kids still enjoy plenty of nutritious foods.

In this episode, I'll share what the science says, how regulators are responding, and most importantly, what you can do at home right now.

Highlights from this episode:

Blueberries under review – Why recent testing has uncovered banned pesticides and what that means for families.
Safe exposure limits – How outdated data may underestimate the risks for children who eat far more berries today than 30 years ago.
Washing and soaking methods – Running water vs bicarbonate solutions: what actually works best for reducing pesticide residues.
High-risk foods to watch – The "dirty dozen" produce items that tend to carry higher residues and need extra care.
Safer swaps and balance – The lower-residue "cleaner" options you can mix into your child's diet for peace of mind.

Episode 72: From reflux and fussy eating to peace at the dinner table, this is Jemma's story.

Monday, September 15, 2025 • Duration 36:15

Easy Feed Podcast Episode 72

Today I'm joined by Nourishing Kids member Jemma, a mum of two who shares her journey from the early days of reflux and sleepless nights to navigating fussy eating and finding peace at the dinner table.

I've had the privilege of working with Jemma for several years, and her story is one that so many parents will relate to. From the guilt of wondering what's "wrong," to the relief of discovering the right support, Jemma's experience is a reminder that feeding challenges are not a reflection of failure, but a part of parenting that can be transformed with the right tools.

In this episode, we talk through the ups and downs, the small wins that built momentum (like that first bite of chicken!), and the mindset shifts that helped Jemma change her family's relationship with food. If you're raising a picky or fussy eater, this conversation will reassure you that you're not alone—and that positive change is possible.

5 Highlights from the Episode

From reflux to resilience – How Jemma's daughter's severe reflux shaped her early feeding experiences.

The role of guilt – Why so many parents feel guilt when mealtimes don't go as planned, and how to let go of it.

Mindset shifts that matter – The surprising strategies that helped Jemma reduce pressure and see her child thrive.

Small wins, big impact – Why celebrating little steps (like trying new foods) can completely change the mealtime dynamic.

Finding support and community – How sharing experiences with other mums can bring relief, hope, and encouragement.

Episode 71: Why Standard Fussy Eating Advice Does Not Apply When Feeding Neurodivergent Children

Monday, September 1, 2025 • Duration 34:32

Over my 24 years as a paediatric dietitian and 13 years as a mum to a once–fussy eater, I've seen firsthand that standard fussy eating advice simply does not work for many families in this space.

Neurodivergent children have their own feeding rules, sensory sensitivities, and unique routines. What works for one child may not work for another.

In this episode, I share the seven truths I've learnt from supporting thosands of families: why it's a long game, how to plug nutrient gaps safely, and why guilt is not helpful for parents. Most importantly, I want you to feel reassured that you are not alone, and that nutrition truly can transform your child's daily life.

What we cover in this episode

Standard advice doesn't apply – Why traditional "picky eater" strategies often fail with neurodivergent children
Progress looks different – Why food variety may expand slowly, or not at all, and why small wins count
The white diet is real – Understanding nutrient deficiencies and how to fill the gaps safely
It's not your fault – Releasing parent guilt and reframing the mealtime experience
Gut health is critical – How gut–brain connections affect mood, learning, and behaviour
Specialised strategies work – Why food chaining, texture progression and tailored nutrition make a difference
Better nutrition, better daily life – Improved energy, focus, therapy participation, and overall wellbeing

Episode 70: Protein and Protein Powders in Kids

Monday, August 18, 2025 • Duration 27:31

Hello, hello and welcome back to The Easy Feed.

Today I'm diving into a topic that so many parents ask me about—protein.
How much do our children really need? Where should it come from? And are protein powders ever necessary?

As a paediatric dietitian and mum, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to keep lunchboxes nutritious, especially when dealing with a fussy eater or a child following a vegetarian diet. While most kids easily meet their protein requirements, the real issue is often the quality of that protein.

In this episode, I unpack the difference between dairy-based proteins and those rich in fibre, iron and zinc, and why focusing on variety is key to supporting your child's long-term health.

We'll also explore whether protein powders have a place in children's diets, what to look for if you choose one, and why whole, real foods should always come first.

⭐ Highlights of the Episode

Protein needs made simple – How much protein children actually require each day and why most already meet these needs.
Quality matters – The difference between dairy protein and plant-based proteins rich in fibre, iron and zinc.
Gut health connection – Why fibre-rich protein foods support digestion, immunity, mood and learning.
Protein powders in kids – When (and if) they're useful, and how to choose a safe option.
Practical swaps and ideas – Easy, real food ways to boost protein for even the fussiest eaters.

Supporting a picky eater or fussy eater can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to balance a healthy diet for fussy eaters with the reality of busy school days.

As a children's nutritionist and paediatric dietitian, I know that parents often worry about protein. In this episode, I explain how to get enough nutritious foods into your child's diet without relying on supplements, and when quick, easy food swaps can make a big difference to their nutrition.
