Nutrition Consulting for Children in Los Angeles
Trying to get your child on a balanced diet can be tough, especially if you’re unsure which nutrients to prioritize or how to include them in meals your child will enjoy (and actually eat). We’re here to help eliminate the guess work and provide you with concrete, actionable recommendations to optimize your child’s feeding habits.
Some of the areas we address with children include:
Recommended nutrient intake: How much protein should my child have? How much fat? What about carbohydrates? Finding and implementing the correct balance of macronutrients can be a struggle.We will support you by providing you with clear nutritional guidelines to ensure your child is reaching their suggested intake.
Kid-friendly recommendations for nutritious foods: Convincing your child to eat healthy, nutrient dense foods can feel impossible. Kids so often want to eat foods full of sugar and low in the nutrients so essential to their development. We will support you by providing you with kid-approved recommendations to help your child reach their suggested intake. And, most importantly, we will help you find ways to enhance the nutritional benefit of foods that your child already loves so they enjoy what is on their plate.
Regulating sugar intake: There is no shying away from the fact that sugar impairs human health, let alone the health of children with developmental delays who are already working through behavioral and attention challenges. While sugar in the form of fruit, vegetables and properly prepared grains can be helpful to fuel physical activity, most of us are unaware of when and how to eat carbohydrates to avoid the dangerous blood sugar spikes that often trigger behavioral challenges and sleep problems.
Menu overhaul: If it’s a totally revamped menu you are after, we can help you create the optimal menu for your child to ensure that they are supported in their development. Body, mind, and soul.
