On this fifth and final episode of the Picky Eating Series this week, during the launch of Naturally Navigating Picky Eating, I'm discussing the connections between anxiety, the nervous system, and your child's complex picky eating.

The episode starts with a very brief overview of the nervous system in layman's terms, how it relates to your child's anxiety generally speaking and more specifically with food + mealtimes.

Having a regulated nervous system helps children feel a sense of safety and well-being within their body and environment, which is so needed for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients ("rest and digest" state).

I'll share how you can use external supports, like changing the environment or using diet + nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help support your child's nervous system regulation.

We also cover unique cases that can be related to children with complex picky eating, where pathogens are actually causing immune system dysregulation and there's a low-level inflammatory response, impacting the nervous system -- in PANS/PANDAS conditions.

Listen in for a variety of ideas to support your child's nervous system regulation to help bring down their anxiety and improve their relationship with food + mealtimes... Starting with supporting your nervous system regulation during mealtimes.
