EP 19 // Has your doctor asked you to keep a food diary, but you can never seem to remember? Follow these steps so your practitioner can help you reach your goals

Hello,
 
In this episode we are talking about keeping a food diary. Your doctor may have asked you to keep one of these for a multitude of reasons, but we are just focusing on how to make sure you actually do it. Because we all know, life happens, and these are the types of things that fall through the cracks. So, I wanted to help you set yourself up for success for completing this food diary. I know your doctor will be able to help you so much more if they have this data from you. 
 
We will talk about: 
 
What to use to keep track of your food 
How to set yourself up to actually remember to record your food/drink 
 
Happy journaling,
 
Kayla

Hi parents!

I am so excited about this series because I think this is a really hot topic right now. People, doctors included, are encouraging parents to be more intentional around screen time, but I think we often do not hear how to do it. So we are stuck knowing we should without any tools. 
 
Drum roll please… that’s where this series comes in! I am giving you five days of jam packed tips and tangible steps you can take to address your kids screen time. Make sure you tune into all five days and do the accompanying worksheets so that you can start making real changes in your home. 
 
Good luck, 
 
Kayla
