About this episode

In this episode, Kelly Leveque and Dr. Lauren Hartman discuss how parents can help their children develop a healthy relationship with food and recognize early signs of eating disorders.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we talk about food, bodies, and health with our kids…and with ourselves. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Hartman to explore how parents can model kindness, trust their instincts, and help kids develop a healthy relationship with food without shame or rules. We talk about movement, social media, high sugar foods, and the small daily choices that shape how children experience their bodies. Whether you’re navigating mealtimes, worried about eating habits, or just want practical ways to support your child’s well-being, this conversation is full of insights you can actually use. We also touch on early intervention, balancing nutrition with life’s realities, and why rest, self-compassion, and awareness can make all the difference. → Leave Us A Voice Message!
