The Nourished Child

Raising a healthy eater shouldn’t feel confusing or overwhelming. The Nourished Child is your trusted guide for child nutrition, feeding kids with confidence, and navigating real-life parenting challenges — from picky eating and food-focused kids to teen appetites, nutrient needs, young athletes, and raising children in all body sizes. Hosted by Jill Castle — pediatric dietitian, author, and mom of four — this podcast blends practical feeding strategies with body-positive parenting, holistic child wellness, and the latest research on children’s physical health and emotional wellbeing. Each episode helps you build healthy habits, support your child’s relationship with food, protect their self-esteem, and create a family culture where children thrive at every size. Whether you’re dealing with an overweight child, a selective eater, a child who’s always hungry, or you simply want to nurture healthy habits and positive body image, The Nourished Child offers the compassionate, evidence-informed guidance you need to raise a well-nourished, confident, resilient child — inside and out.
