I teamed up again with Becky Blixrud to talk about nutrition tips for kids and the whole family.

As a Certified Health Coach, Becky has the blessing of working with parents who are not only making lifestyle changes for themselves but for their kids as well. Becky says, “many people have sited wanting to be a better example for their children, and not wanting their kids to fall into the same unhealthy habits that they have been stuck in for decades.”

Some questions parents often ask during health coaching with Becky are:

• “I want the whole family to start eating healthier - Where do I start?”

• “How do I know if I’m feeding my kids ‘the right’ foods?”

• “How do I get my little ones to try new foods and be open to eating a wider variety, especially more vegetables?”

Becky tackled answers to these three questions below based on her professional and personal experience.
