97: The worst ways parents pass on poor ...

In this episode, we discuss:

• How diet culture affects boys, as well as women and girls
• Our own childhoods and upbringings, and how these shaped our relationships with food and our bodies
• Things we want to change when raising our own children to prevent them being negatively affected by diet culture
• How to get your kids involved in the kitchen
• How to teach your children to explore and advocate for their own food choices and preferences
• Helping your children develop a healthy relationship with their body, as well as with food
• How to help your kids build trust around food, and learn to tune into their hunger and fullness cues
• Advice we’d give to parents when it comes to supporting healthy body image in their children

This vulnerable, honest conversation explores how negative relationships with food and your body can impact not just women, but men and boys too, and how you can learn from your own upbringing and your family’s shortcomings to parent your kids in a way that supports them to develop a healthy body image and relationship with food as much as possible.

For this chat, I have Joel Feren, The Nutrition Guy, on the podcast. Joel is an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Accredited Nutritionist with a passion for improving the mental and physical health of Australians - especially males. You can find Joel on Instagram here, at or his website here.
