In this episode of Plateful Parenting, co-hosts Chanel Kenner, RD and Christine Santucci sit down with Jenn Benson, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and founder of 360 Nutrition Consulting. With years of experience supporting kids, teens, and families through eating disorder recovery, Jenn brings a compassionate, weight-inclusive approach to healing relationships with food and body image.
Together, we explore how to support children through early recovery, what collaboration with parents can look like, and how to rebuild trust at the table. Jenn also shares practical ways families can challenge diet culture at home while nurturing a positive body image—especially when caregivers are working through their own food relationships.
Whether you’re navigating ARFID, intuitive eating misconceptions, or those everyday “I’m not hungry” moments, Jenn offers grounded, real-world advice that helps families shift from fear to connection.
