Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this episode, I'm joined by dietician and founder of Explore Nutrition, Kim Lawler.

Kim talks to us about her book she co wrote called 'Fat is Fat and That is That', which helps parents and children to neutralise the word 'fat', and move away from the negative connotations long associated with the word.

She discusses the importance of exposing children as early as possible to neutral language to describe bodies, to give them the best possible chance at growing up to not fear fat on their bodies, and know a long term positive body image.

You can purchase Fat is Fat and That is That from:
