Getting Children On Board with Diet Changes
28m
Everyone knows we should eat healthy, but in the case where our medical issues stem from food allergies or intolerances, we must adhere to a strict diet – mostly for the rest of our lives. The importance of using food as medicine means starting to and sticking with a new way of life.
As infant and toddler, Keirstan was a very sick young girl. She had multiple food issues, many allergies, active asthma, horrible GI issues, and developmental delays. At the age of two years old, she was put on a strict gluten and dairy free diet and, over time, her issues resolved. Today, at 15 years old, Keirstan is an active and healthy young lady. She has stuck to her diet for the last 13 years in order to maintain her lifestyle.
Keirstan tell her story and how she “survives” eating school lunches, restaurants and friend’s parties. She will discuss and answer your questions on how she stays the course everyday including helpful tips and tricks. She knows if she can do it, so can you!
