If you’ve ever wondered “Is it too late to fix my kid’s eating habits?” — this episode is your answer. In today’s raw and honest conversation, pediatric dietitians Jen Ross and Danielle Mein break down the real reasons kids struggle with picky eating, junk food cravings, overeating, and chaotic mealtimes… and why so much of it starts with parent habits, not kid habits.

We unpack the biggest questions parents ask us every single day: • When should I start healthy eating with my kids? • How do I get my partner on the same page about nutrition? • Why does my child prefer Chick-fil-A, Takis, and ultra-processed snacks over real food? • How do we stop grandparents from undoing everything at home? • Can you actually change your child’s eating habits once bad routines are already in place?

You’ll learn: ✔️ Why modeling food behaviors matters more than what you say ✔️ The surprising role of screens, marketing, and modern food culture ✔️ How inconsistent parenting creates picky eating and power struggles ✔️ The long-term impact of ultra-processed foods on kids ✔️ Simple family habits that transform eating without power struggles ✔️ How to reset your home food environment at ANY age

This episode is for you if your child won’t eat what you cook, constantly asks for snacks, eats in front of the TV, refuses vegetables, or lives on fast food and packaged foods. It’s also for parents who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to break unhealthy patterns.

The good news? It’s never too late to start — and the most powerful changes begin with you.
