We know that as parents you’re striving to help your kids develop healthy eating habits, but we also know that sometimes those desires don’t always match up with day-to-day reality. Complex medical conditions or picky eating can quickly cause the family dynamics around food to get messy, emotional, and frustrating.

• Guide your family in building a healthy relationship with food
• Explore how food may play a role in your child’s medical condition and what a healthy eating pattern looks like for your child’s unique needs
• Energize your growing athlete while optimizing performance at the same time
• Help you learn to nourish your child with thoughtfulness, direction, and ease

ARFID stands for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. ARFID is characterized by highly selective eating habits, altered feeding patterns or both. Individuals with ARFID are unable to meet their nutritional needs, which can result in low weight, difficulty maintaining appropriate growth and development, nutritional deficiency, dependence on supplements, and/or difficulty functioning in social settings involving food. Individuals with ARFID may have a difficult time meeting their needs because of sensory sensitivity, lack of interest in eating, or fear of aversive consequences with eating.

• Assess anthropometric data (height/weight) to ensure maintaining appropriate growth and development
• Assess nutrition intake vs nutrition need
• Identify nutritional priority in the introduction of new foods
• Guided food exposures to aid with increasing variety and tolerance of new foods
• Create a balanced meal plan utilizing preferred foods in structure and timing of meals and snacks
• Education regarding the right balance of macro/micronutrients and the role they play in the body
