#183 Be a Mom, Not a Food Cop with Katja Rowell, MD, author of Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating

Episode 183

On this week's episode of the Less Stressed Life podcast, Katja Rowell, MD, author of Helping your child with extreme picky eating, joins me to tackle the topic of how to establish a healthy feeding relationship between parents, children, and food. Dr. Rowell shares her expertise on being a mom, not a food cop. She talks about how neutralization around foods is in and bribery is out, the one-bite rule, and whether our kiddos will be forever obsessed with sweets.

Katja Rowell, M.D. is a graduate of the University of Michigan medical school and served as a family physician in urban, rural, and university student health settings. During her time in practice, she was struck by the prevalence of disordered eating and feeding, and related health problems. Rowell believes establishing a healthy feeding relationship– in essence– HOW children are fed is the missing piece in addressing disordered eating and weight dysregulation.

Described as “academic, but warm and down-to-earth,” Dr. Rowell teaches the importance of a healthy feeding relationship to health care providers, family therapists and childcare staff and consults with corporate clients, nutrition education and public health providers. She has appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Betty Crocker Blog, Parents Magazine, Kare 11 TV, Brain Child Magazine, The Utne Reader, Twin Cities Live and Mommy MD Guides, among others. Her writing has appeared in LiveWell Digest, Huffingtonpost Parenting blogs, New Moon Girls Magazine, and Adoptive Families Magazine.
