Root Cause Kids Nutrition

12/12/2025

Nightly routine I’ve been trying to do before bed to keep kids well this time of year because we do NOT want sickness to ruin any Christmas plans! Going to be more consistent starting now with Christmas only 2 weeks away!

-4 sprays bee propolis throat spray
-1 spray biocidin daily defense throat spray
-xlear nasal spray (keeps viruses from replicating in the nasal cavity)
-magnesium on bottom of feet for sleep
-plant therapy immune boom on the spine

More importantly, all the foundational aspects of keeping the immune system strong: nutrition (lots of fruits and veggies), outside time, and sleep.

Dairy/gluten/dye-free dirt cups with fiber, healthy fat and protein….say what?? Made with a secret ingredient you’d never guess….AVOCADOS!

In a food processor, blend:
-4 small avocados
-1/4 c chocolate protein powder
-1/4 c baking cocoa
-1/2 cup maple syrup
-pinch of sea or Himalayan salt

Top with gf cookies (I used glutino but also love simple mills) and dye-free gummy worms (found them at Sprouts).

Happy Halloween!

What are you doing for dinner on Halloween? I always want to make sure they have their bellies filled with protein, fat and fiber before heading out the door so they’re in good moods and won’t have the appetite for as much candy. This dinner idea is super fast but fun and themed to make kids excited to eat it!

So excited to announce that after SEVERAL months of waiting I’m credentialed with Aetna!

I also will continue to take Cigna and United Healthcare. I tried to get on with BCBS and Humana but both said their network was full, unfortunately.

If you’ve been interested in working with me but didn’t know I took insurance, send me a message and I can help you check your benefits!

HOW I GOT MY 3 KIDS TO EAT SMOKED SALMON SUSHI BOWLS FOR DINNER:⁣
⁣
I bribed them with candy and threatened to take away all their Christmas presents if the didn’t eat it.⁣
⁣
JKJK. I didn’t get them to eat smoked salmon sushi bowls for dinner…not entirely. ⁣
⁣
Here are the rules I follow when we’re eating a meal with foods they aren’t yet accustomed to:⁣
⁣
-offer the foods separately versus giving them a bowl with the ingredients mixed together ⁣
-provide some “safe foods” you know they’ll like with dinner ⁣
-do not, and I repeat DO NOT force or pressure your kids to eat a food, but encourage them to try one bite of the new foo⁣d
⁣
In this example of dinner last night, along with what is pictured we also had chicken nuggets and fruit that the kids could choose which was the “safe” food I knew all kids would eat.⁣
Child 1: ate fruits, nuggets, cucumbers, avocado, seaweed, and tried but did not like the smoked salmon⁣
Child 2: ate fruit, nuggets, cucumber, tried but did not like the smoked salmon ⁣
Child 3: are fruit, nuggets, and tons of seaweed⁣
⁣
All children were full by the end of the meal. To help picky kids start expanding their palate, exposure and no pressure is key!
