We're In This Together

It's easy to feel alone and unsure as a parent. It's the hardest job on earth and we have to learn as we go. But it doesn't have to be that way. Most of us share the same questions and concerns, so why not come together and find some clarity? Here are some of the common concerns addressed in Raising Resilience.  

I Wonder If Food Could Be Influencing My Child's Behaviour At Home And At School

There is nothing I am convinced of more than that food influences behaviour. Food interacts with the body in profound ways and both directly and indirectly effects every system of the body. So yes, food influences your child's behaviour and in Raising Resilience you'll learn exactly how to shift that to your advantage.

I Wish We Didn't All Get So Sick So Often In Our Family! Could Changing How We Eat Help?

One of the things you'll learn in this book is how food influences the immune system. By following the Three Core Strategies in Raising Resilience, your immune systems will get strong and be better able to efficiently handle illness and infection.  

I Don't Know If It's Worth Trying To Change My Family's Diet. 

There are a lot of things that are out of your control to change but food is a powerful tool at your disposal. In order to leverage it without losing your sanity you need to be systematic and strategic. In Raising Resilience I show you simple ways to change what you're already doing in order to maximize your efforts, and I share with you stories of my clients who experienced remarkable changes in mood, energy, infection, learning, sleep, aggression and growth - all by changing diet. Then you can decide if it's worth it.

My Kids Are Already So Picky About Food, There's No Way I Could Change Our Diet.  

Like any child behaviour, picky eating is a signal - something is up. You'll learn the three most common contributors to picky eating and practical ways to uproot them. As with all behaviours, when you uproot the cause, you see change.  

I Don't Even Know Where To Start. I'm Exhausted Just Thinking About This!

There is a two-step process to improving resilience. This book will walk you through this process, help you find a manageable starting point and a clear path forward. You'll learn how to find your 80/20, how to keep your eye on what's most important and how to keep things manageable. 

A Specialized Diet Was Suggested To Us But I'm Worried About Meeting My Child's Nutritional Needs. 

You're right to be concerned. While removing certain foods that stimulate the body's immune and nervous systems is an important part to improving resilience, so is improving nutrient density. Whenever you remove a food, you have to pay close attention to nutritional intake. You'll learn how to do that in this book. You'll also learn the critical steps to take so that you can eventually diversify the diet once again - this is an important piece, missed by many.

Raising Resilience pulls together almost a decade’s worth of study and practice, enhanced by the practical wisdom of a busy mother, into a nutrition plan that will save you time, money, and energy while boosting your children’s ability to relax, learn, and grow
