Girls are having a rough go of it. A recent CDC report found 57% of teen girls felt persistently sad and hopeless in 2021, compared to 36% in 2011. Not only that, but a report last year found girls going to the ER for eating disorders nearly doubled during the pandemic.

2y ago24:34

24:34

We’ve all seen the article or social media post declaring the “proven” benefits of intermittent fasting. Cellular repair. Improved insulin sensitivity. A longer life with reduced risk of chronic disease. Increased metabolism and fat burning. Because of these strong claims, I’ve been wanting to do a deep dive on intermittent fasting for years now.

Women talk about lots of topics, but vaginal health isn’t typically one of them. Yet midlife is the perfect time to start the conversation because most women will experience vaginal issues.

38:25

Intuitive eating is needed more than ever during midlife. That’s because it helps redefine a woman’s relationship with food in ways that create sustainable change. Whether it’s listening to your body, avoiding all or nothing thinking about food, or denouncing diet culture, as my guest says: “it’s really something that needs to come together for mos…

Whether people realize it or not, the pandemic has shed a very bright light on nutrition.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, only 20% of adults and 6% of kids eat fish twice a week. That means many are falling short on the omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA.

A woman’s body changes at midlife as does her feelings about her body. Many women become unhappy with these changes while others find them freeing. Either way, how women choose to live in their bodies as they age is important to their health and well-being.

Run Injury Free at Midlife and Beyond with Jeff Galloway 59:56

4+ y ago59:56

59:56

A couple of years ago when I considered doing my first half marathon in years, I discovered Jeff Galloway’s book Running Until Your 100. In it, he advocates for people – especially those 45 years and older – to add walk breaks to their running. When done right, he claims that people of all ages can remain injury-free while obtaining the many benefi…

Estrogen and Women's Health with Mache Seibel, MD 1:05:32

5y ago1:05:32

1:05:32

Estrogen plays an important role in a woman’s body. During very early perimenopause, levels fluctuate and can often be higher than normal. But as women approach menopause (about 2 years before their final period) estrogen starts to decline. By two years after the final period, estrogen levels are depleted. This decline in estrogen brings on many sy…

The Menstrual Cycle and Health with Dr. Jerilynn Prior 1:03:08

5y ago1:03:08

1:03:08

When a woman considers her health, she doesn't automatically think about her menstrual cycle. Yet a woman's menstrual cycle can tell a great deal about her health, well being, and what stage of reproduction she in. Understanding one's menstrual cycle helps during puberty, the reproductive years, and perimenopause. As I experienced cycle changes in …

Getting REAL About Feeding Kids with Sally Kuzemchak 50:14

6y ago50:14

50:14

Feeding advice is everywhere. Eat together. Check. Expose children to nutritious foods. Check. Live happily ever after. No way! Here’s what no one talks about. Feeding kids is not always fun or easy. And not all kids respond the same way to the same strategies. There is a need to get real about expectations and what it really feels like to feed a f…

When a couple is expecting their first child, they’re inundated with information. But then that baby turns into a toddler that has tantrums and doesn’t like the word “no.” And all of a sudden, the well of information dries up. So where do parents turn to for advice? And how do we know what to believe? After all, expert advice is constantly changing…

Kids in the Kitchen: Overcoming Obstacles When Teaching Kids to Cook with Katie Kimball 42:42

6y ago42:42

42:42

I think most parents understand the importance of teaching their kids to cook. I believe what gets in the way are “invisible” barriers. And in order to get kids cooking, we need to tackle these barriers head-on. That’s why on episode 23 of The Healthy Family Podcast we’re spelling out what really gets in the way of getting kids in the kitchen. Our …

Mothers, Daughters, Food, and Body Image with Karen Diaz 1:09:18

1:09:18

If there’s one theme I’ve heard repeatedly regarding moms, daughters, food, and body image, it’s this: Mom has poor body image and food issues (to varying degrees). Despite this struggle, mom wants to keep her issues from infecting her daughter. She hides this part of herself, hoping her daughter never finds out the truth. She doesn’t share her unh…

After a short stint off from podcasting, I’m back. And I’ll be talking a lot about what it really takes to create a healthy family. Time off has a way of generating ideas and I had many this summer.

Over 50% of families reporting picky eating problems at home. Not knowing what to do, parents may bribe, force and pressure their child to eat.

You’ve been there, haven’t you? Your child strikes out at a baseball game, bombs a test or messes up at her dance recital and acts like it’s the end of the world.

Food and Feelings. How to Prevent or Curb Emotional Eating with Karen Koenig 1:00:36

6+ y ago1:00:36

1:00:36

From the moment we are born food and emotions are intertwined. We get fed milk while being held and enjoy connection at the family table. But as time marches on, food can all too easily be used as a way to distract us from difficult emotions or fill an emotional void. This results in dysregulated eating -- eating too much or too little, and spendin…
