“Breathwork as a practice is almost like muscle memory. If we don't practice this when we're in a non-stressed state, we start to learn what it feels like to go inside.” - Jen

Is your child neurodiverse and also a picky eater? It might be more than just a phase. This episode dives into Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), a common but often undiagnosed eating disorder in children on the autism spectrum or with ADHD. Unlike anorexia or bulimia, ARFID isn't about weight control. It's about sensory sensitivities, anxieties around food, or even past traumatic experiences. The podcast episode featuring dietitian Diana Chislett unpacks the signs to look for that go beyond just a dislike of vegetables, including emotional distress around mealtimes and a limited diet that impacts growth. Learn how to tell the difference between a picky eater and a child who needs professional support, and discover resources to help your child develop a healthy relationship with food.
