The Joyful Health Show: A Non-Diet Wellness Podcast for Christians

Episode 52: Candy for Breakfast? with Crystal Karges, MS, RDN, IBCLC (Part 1)


Listen Later

In this episode of the Joyful health Show, we address obsession with sweets and how to navigate this during the holidays as parents who want what’s best for ourselves and our kids. Crystal Karges, MS, RDN, IBCLC, has personally battled with eating disorders and motherhood challenges, and now shares her journey of transformation from a place of fear and control to one of connection and freedom.

We'll explore the common misconceptions around candy and the anxiety it can induce in parents. By understanding your child's unique sensory profile and allowing them to self-regulate, you can pave the way for a healthier relationship with sweets.

Learn how to approach Halloween and other candy-related events with a sense of normalcy, reducing the allure of forbidden treats. Discover why controlling your child's sugar intake can have detrimental effects and how to build a strong, faith-based foundation of trust instead. 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Focus less on the food rules and more on the child in front of you.
  2. Embrace freedom and trust in your child's ability to self-regulate their sweet intake.
  3. Normalize sweets for your children, reducing the risk of later overindulgence and disordered eating.
  4. Head here for all of today's show notes including Scriptures, social images, and resources mentioned.
