Ep 48 - Jill Castle, MS, RD, LDN

Conversation 48:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Jill Castle, MS, RD, LDN “My parents never harped on us for whether we were eating enough or what choices we were making, there was no discussion about food. I tell all my clients now there is one thing I don’t want them to do, I don’t want them to talk about food at the table. You don’t need to educate your child about food and nutrition while they are eating, just talk about anything else because it feels like pressure.” - Jill Castle, MS, RD, LDN My conversation today is with America’s Childhood Nutrition Expert and Registered Dietitian, Jill Castle A few weeks ago, I had the privilege to listen to Jill provide a presentation to the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Since I currently do not practice in child nutrition, I was interested in learning about how this area of practice has changed.  So much of our thoughts, beliefs and practices around food start as a child and childhood nutrition is more important than ever. With the many different challenges of feeding children, Jill provides a multitude of resources for professional and families. She has always had a passion for pediatric nutrition and has published book on the topic as well as started her own podcast over the past year. I hope you enjoy my podcast with Jill as much as I did.
