In this episode, we sit down with Jaclyn Pederson, CEO of Feeding Matters and a dedicated mom, to dive deep into the world of pediatric feeding disorders. Jaclyn shares her personal journey as a mother navigating the complexities of her own son’s feeding challenges and the impact this had on her mission to support other families facing similar struggles. We discuss the obstacles that parents encounter—from finding accurate information and financial support to addressing the complexity of feeding. Jaclyn sheds light on the gaps in regulations, awareness, and resources that make feeding challenges even harder circumstances. Join us for an eye-opening conversation about advocacy, resilience, and what it takes to create meaningful change for families facing pediatric feeding disorders.
