NWP Episode 285: Morgan Skatz RD/N on How Parents Can Raise Children to Have a Healthy Relationship with Food & Body
Today's episode, with guest Morgan Skatz, is for the parent who wants to raise children to have a healthy relationship with food & body. Morgan’s goal as a dietitian is to end disordered eating and see everyone enjoy food again. She specializes in eating disorders, intuitive eating, and pediatrics. She wants everyone to know that they deserve a life that is not consumed by food, and food rules. She believes everyone has the ability to feel good in their body!
She loves to see disordered eating/eating disorders prevented by putting in positive work as early on as possible, so she works with families with children of all ages. She empowers parents to raise their children as intuitive eaters and to respect their bodies. She enjoys helping families work through concerns associated with limited food acceptance, baby-led weaning, family mealtimes, and more! When Morgan is not seeing clients, she is most likely spending time with her husband, hiking the trails of Lancaster County, baking sourdough bread, or mindlessly watching Netflix.
