216. Your Child's 'Healthy' Snacks Aren't Always Healthy: Here's Why

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Sharon Cryan, founder of FoodNerd, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked pillars of children's health: not just what's in our food, but how it's made. Sharon shares her powerful origin story — born to a single mother with MS, watching chronic illness shape the world around her — and how that journey led her from law school to revolutionizing food manufacturing. Together, they unpack the truth about ultra-processed foods, the gap in processing transparency that even health-conscious parents miss, and why natural flavors aren't as safe as they sound. Sharon also breaks down FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology, the critical first 1,000 days of a child's life, and why their products are specifically formulated for kids on the autistic spectrum. This one will change how you read a food label — and how you stock your pantry.-----Links & Resources:Follow Sharon on Instagram: @sharonrosecryan and @foodnerdincLearn more and shop FoodNerd Products: www.foodnerdinc.com-----Key Topics & Timestamps00:07 Sharon's Origin Story: Born Into Chronic Illness 00:11 The Health Inequality Nobody Was Talking About 00:13 From Wanting to Be a Doctor to Law School 00:16 The FDA Isn't Protecting You — The Food Manufacturer Is 00:23 How to Actually Read a Food Label 00:25 It's Not Just the Ingredients, It's the Processing 00:28 The Dirty Truth About Natural Flavors 00:32 FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology Explained 00:38 The First 1,000 Days: The Most Critical Window of a Child's Life 00:48 Sulforaphane and Kids on the Autistic Spectrum-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here
