How to "Not Screw Up Your Kids" (Talking...

About this episode

We've been getting a lot of questions about how to talk to kids about health and fitness. On the one hand, you want your kids to eat healthy and move their body, but on the other hand, overemphasizing these topics can really backfire and have detrimental mental health effects. On this episode, we talk about what we want our health for, how to talk about bodies around kids, and finally, how to navigate a food environment at home that has been invaded by your teenagers' frozen pizzas and sodas.
