Episode 08: Kids who "over-eat" and loooove food - sometimes a bit too much!

In this episode, I explore how human eating habits have evolved, and dive into the delicate hormonal signalling between the gut and the brain which orchestrates feelings of  hunger and fullness. Discover the reasons behind childhood overeating, from emotional eating to the irresistible allure of high-sugar and high-fat foods. I emphasise the pivotal role parents play in modelling healthy eating behaviours and fostering positive attitudes towards food and body image for their kids. But it's not just about identifying the issues; I provide practical strategies to curb overeating and set your child up for a healthy future.  Here's a sneak peek into the conversation: 1. Exploring Our Connection with Food: Examining its emotional, social, and physiological dimensions. 2. Hormonal Harmony: Understand the intricate balance between the hormones ( ghrelin and leptin)  that regulate hunger and fullness, influencing our eating behaviours. 4. Challenges of Childhood Overeating: Explore children's unique hurdles in today's food environment, addressing common reasons for overindulgence and the impact of high-sugar and high-fat temptations. 5. Parental Guidance and Practical Solutions: Recognising that parents play a pivotal role in modelling healthy eating behaviours, we explore the practical strategies to manage childhood overeating. From instilling mindful eating habits to ensuring a nutritional balance, empower yourself with hands-on techniques for fostering a positive relationship between children and food.  Join me as we unravel the layers of childhood overeating and discuss practical tools to foster a healthy relationship between our children and the food they consume.
