131: From picky kid to healthy eater

131: From picky kid to healthy eater

Author: Weston A. Price Foundation May 7, 2018 Duration: 31:38

It is now so common for children to be “picky eaters” that most consider it a normal childhood phase. There are special menus at restaurants and at social events shaping this whole “children’s food” culture—offering them primarily chicken nuggets, french fries, and mac and cheese. Despite parents’ best efforts, “picky kids” seem to choose carbs all day long and getting them to eat healthier foods can appear like an impossible task. But is it? Can picky eaters be “fixed”?

On today’s podcast, Jennifer Scribner, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and author of “From Mac & Cheese to Veggies, Please”, helps us understand what makes a picky eater “picky” in the first place and she gives us strategies for helping them change their eating patterns. She tells us what to expect and how to plan ahead to make the transition smooth (or at least smoother) as we navigate from picky to healthy.

Hosted by the Weston A. Price Foundation, Wise Traditions explores a path to well-being rooted in the diets and lifestyles of ancestral cultures. This podcast operates from a simple premise: that the secrets to robust health aren't found in the latest trends or synthetic supplements, but in the time-tested traditions of our ancestors. Each episode delves into practical wisdom, from preparing nutrient-dense foods and understanding the role of animal fats to exploring holistic approaches to fitness and mental wellness. You'll hear from researchers, farmers, doctors, and practitioners who are applying these principles today, offering conversations that challenge conventional health narratives. The discussions are grounded in the work of Dr. Weston A. Price, whose famous observation that "Life in all its fullness is mother nature obeyed" serves as a guiding light. Tuning in provides a deep dive into how traditional foods, regenerative agriculture, and a respectful approach to nature's design can fundamentally reshape your health. It's for anyone feeling disconnected from natural ways of living and curious about how the wisdom of the past can inform a healthier, more vibrant present. The Wise Traditions podcast is a resource for those ready to look beyond the mainstream and consider how ancestral knowledge holds critical answers for modern life.
