Dr. Elana interviews Bernadette Abraham, author of the book UNJUNK: How to Raise Healthy Eaters. This book is a go-to resource for parents looking to empower their children to make sound food choices for themselves.  

Bernadette educates the reader on the food industry and explains which foods to avoid, which to encourage, and how to transition to healthier eating. Her practical approach, with feeding strategies and budget in mind, recipes, and even puzzles and games for children, offers a comprehensive and entertaining platform for change. She provides guidance on how to unjunk your kitchen, buy, stock, and prepare the most balanced health-giving foods, acknowledging the inevitable resistance these changes summon. Complete with proven strategies on how to overcome negative outside influences and make a collective difference, her debut book helps you break free from society’s afflicted food culture and gives you the confidence to transform your family’s nutrition and overall health.

Topics Discussed: 

  • Tips to help parents create healthy habits in an unhealthy world

  • How to manage birthday parties in a balanced healthy way

  • Why the saying “everything in moderation” doesn’t work 

  • How to handle grandparents or relatives who undermine your healthy efforts

  • How to handle picky eaters

  • And more!
