If your child is a picky eater, I want you to take a deep breath with me. Because this is probably not the conversation you’re used to hearing.
You’ve likely been told it’s just a phase. That you need to be more consistent. That your child will eat when they’re hungry. That picky eating is about control, or parenting, or personality.
But culturally, we’ve failed so many families - because this narrative is simply not true.
What if picky eating isn’t a behavior or parenting problem at all?
What if it’s actually your child’s body, begging for help?
Because it is.
When your child’s gut is imbalanced (meaning there’s an overgrowth of bad bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, or parasites) it doesn’t just affect digestion. These microbes actually communicate with the brain. Through the vagus nerve, they send powerful chemical messages that shape cravings, mood, and even behavior.
These overgrowths feed on sugar, processed carbohydrates, and refined ingredients. And the more they’re fed, the more they grow. The more they grow, the louder they scream.
This is why your child might melt down at the sight of a vegetable. Why they cling to white foods. Why they act like they physically can’t eat anything else. Because in a way… they can’t. Not yet.
Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡
