We look deeper to understand why eating feels hard…
so kids finally Eat, Grow, Thrive™

We help kids:

  • Picky Eating/Selective Eating icon

    Eat

    Picky eating · Feeding difficulties (PFD/ARFID) · Tube feeding

    Your child eats the same handful of foods (and it's been this way for a while). Whether they're picky eaters, avoiding whole food groups, anxiety around trying new foods, or dealing with something more complex like ARFID or PFD, we figure out why eating feels hard and create a plan that increases variety. We include what's happening in the gut, the nervous/sensory system, and the body - not just at the table. No pressure, no bribing, no more mealtime battles.

  • Weight concerns icon

    Grow

    Underweight · Poor growth · Failure to thrive · Low appetite

    Whether your child has low appetite, keeps falling off the growth curve, or just isn't gaining the way they should — we look at the full picture to understand what's actually getting in the way. Then we create a personalized plan to support healthy weight gain and better nutrition (even when labs look "normal" and you've been told to wait and see).

  • Functional Nutrition/Testing

    Thrive

    Digestion · Constipation · Energy · Overall health

    When a child is truly thriving, you feel it - in their energy, their mood, their focus, and how they move through the day. Constipation, anxiety, SIBO, brain fog, poor sleep - these aren't separate problems. They're usually connected. We get to the root of what's going on so your child feels better from the inside out. When deeper answers are needed, we use stool and micronutrient testing to guide what's next.

    ABOUT THE FOUNDER

    I’m Danielle, a pediatric dietitian specializing in picky eating, feeding difficulties, digestion, and growth.

    I work with families who feel stuck… where mealtimes are stressful, progress isn’t happening, and something still feels off.

    At Nourished Pediatrics, I combine functional nutrition, feeding therapy principles, and gut health to understand why eating feels hard and create a plan that actually works. I see families virtually, nationwide.

    Because food isn’t just fuel… it’s nourishment for their body, their confidence, and your connection as a family.

    You don’t need more tips.
    You need someone to actually figure out what’s going on.

    That’s exactly what we do.
