  • Better together

    As both a parent and a pediatrician, I want the very best for the children in my home and in my practice. Feeding and caring for children goes far beyond counting calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This podcast brings a thoughtful, human perspective to something that should be meaningful and shared. It challenges us to grow—not only for ourselves, but for our children. I would strongly encourage any parent or anyone who works with children to take the time to listen and start the conve... more

  • Such a great podcast!

    Dr. Liz is absolutely amazing. I love how I feel like I'm talking to a best friend. As a mom, you can feel like you're trying all the things and unsure if any of it is right. It's nice to hear that you don't have to be perfect, just informed and confident. Dr. Liz brings the evidence-based guidance you actually need without the fear-based messaging that leaves you second-guessing every bite your kid takes. As a fellow dietitian and mom, I deeply respect how she helps families build a positive re... more

  • Honor the Emotions

    This podcast actually brought me to tears, finally accepting the “OKness” of my grief and feelings of failure from 45+ years ago. As a grandmother and great grandmother, I’m so happy new moms can have a different perspective on this great journey that lasts a lifetime.

    The information is priceless and I can’t wait to hear more. Thank you, Lunchbox Reformation, for your service to the children and the parents who love them.

  • Absolutely loved it!

    This first episode was such a joy to listen to. Hearing her origin story from becoming a dietician, to medical school, to motherhood, and ultimately pediatrics—gave real insight into the heart behind the care she provides. As a parent of children with multiple medical needs, we’ve seen many doctors over the years, and she truly stands out as the best. She has an incredible way of connecting with families, filling us with clear, valuable information, and equipping us with practical resources so ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Finding Joy in Cooking with Kids with Chef Dennis Littley: EP 44
Q: Do you feel like, when you are building a menu, learning about that from a classical training standpoint, are there parts of that training that transfer over and you feel like are so simple that nobody really gets?
Littley says recipes can usually be adapted to suit a family's preferences, and ingredients or seasonings children dislike can be left out. He recommends involving children in choosing food and gradually introducing them to new flavors.
Finding Joy in Cooking with Kids with Chef Dennis Littley: EP 44
Q: They make a meal and it turns out like garbage. Where do they go? How do they get the confidence to get back into the kitchen and to recover that?
Littley says failure is part of learning. Parents can help children figure out what went wrong, look for ways to improve or use the food, and practice again together without treating the mistake as a reason to quit.
EP 41: What You Might Not Know About Breastmilk with Elena Medo
Q: How is that different from donor milk, and does donor milk go through a different safety process?
Donor milk is safety-tested through milk banks with pasteurization to reduce risk, but activity of immune factors may be diminished by processing; the goal is to preserve bioactivity as much as possible while ensuring safety.
EP 41: What You Might Not Know About Breastmilk with Elena Medo
Q: What other components in the soup of breast milk do you feel like are often misunderstood?
Infant formula covers basic nutrients but misses the many bioactive, immune-supporting elements unique to human milk; formula should not be viewed as an equivalent, and breastfeeding support is crucial for access and success.
EP 41: What You Might Not Know About Breastmilk with Elena Medo
Q: What kind of things are in colostrum that you want more families to know about?
Colostrum is a complex, interactive mixture with components that work together to protect the newborn; beyond individual factors like lactoferrin, there are multiple protective elements including immunoglobulins and human milk oligosaccharides that collectively shape immune defense.
