Raising Healthy Eaters: Parenting, Stress, and Food Access
Guest:
Kate Bauer
Show Notes:
What if shaping long-term health starts at home—not just with what we eat, but how families navigate food every day? This episode explores how parenting, stress, and real-world constraints shape eating habits—and what it takes to support families in building healthier, more sustainable routines that can help prevent chronic diseases like diabetes.
Guest Bio:
Dr. Bauer’s research focuses on understanding social influences on children’s eating, with particular attention to supporting effective parenting and healthy food environments for young children.
Understanding the causes and impacts of food insecurity has also been a consistent thread running through her work given the physical, mental, and emotional strain that food insecurity places on parents and children.
Question of the Day:
What challenges do you face when trying to create healthy eating habits at home?

Diet Quality & Food Security
Guest:
