It can feel so scary to think about how the world might treat our kids' based on their body. And it's so normal to want to protect them. But at the same time, what if trying to protect them will end up backfiring, in more ways than one?

Aaron Flores is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Body Trust Specialist who specializes in eating disorders and body image. He's also a dad of twins and a friend of mine, so this conversation was especially fun to record.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why wanting to protect our kids makes sense, and why weight stigma is real
• How being sent to a dietitian at 15 impacted him and his relationship with food
• Why trying to control our kids' bodies tends to backfire
• What Aaron says about bodies being machines we need to fuel
• Why he tells his clients to aim for C-level work with food
• What body trust actually means, and why it isn't the same as loving your body

If you're worried about how the world will treat your child's body, or you're still working on your own relationship with food, this episode is for you.
