Hi 👋 I’m Dr. Taylor and I am so glad you are here! I have a PhD in nutrition, am a pediatric registered dietitian, and am a mom of 3.

In this course, I share the science (with citations – of course), my clinical experience, and a little bit of mom know-how. Each video is complete with key points, homework, additional resources, and citations (if applicable) in the caption. Some videos have PDF downloads too! A fully comprehensive course.

One of my favorite parts of this course? It’s FREE. 100% completely free. No up-selling, no saving my best info for inside a paid membership, no annoying sales e-mails. I believe that EVERY parent should have easy access to this info. So I decided to take action on that belief and create this course.
