Where is the one place parents can go to find credible nutrition advice?
This was the question I had after having my daughter in 2006. I was ready to start my baby on solids and searched frantically for a credible online source but came up empty-handed. As a registered dietitian craving research-based guidance, I decided to take on the topic myself. After becoming quite knowledgeable about feeding kids, I talked to other moms only to find that they weren’t getting the same vital information I had learned about.
I created Raise Healthy Eaters to give parents like you peace of mind when it comes to feeding your family. You no longer need to search google and piece together information about what your kids need to grow up healthy. Instead, come here first to get your needs met – and ask your most burning nutrition questions.

As a result, they’ll become adults who are confident, happy and healthy eaters, meaning they will be less likely to struggle with food or weight.

More about me…
I am a registered dietitian with 13 years of experience. Before having kids of my own, I worked with overweight clients whose bad habits could almost always be traced back to childhood feeding practices. And after having kids, I dedicated myself to helping moms feed their kids – and themselves – well. When done right, raising healthy eaters is prevention at its best. And it will free your kids up for living life.
