If you’re dealing with moody, anxious, or unpredictable kids, perhaps the missing piece isn’t discipline or therapy—but nourishment.


In this episode, holistic nutrition expert and author Jess Sherman reveals how food, sleep, and connection shape childhood resilience and long-term health. She shares eye-opening insights into why kids struggle with focus, energy, and emotions, and why most solutions miss the mark.


Jess explains how gut health, nutrient balance, and even playtime impact kids’ ability to thrive. Plus, she breaks down her Roadmap to Resilient Kids, a framework designed to help parents create a culture of nourishment at home—without battles, stress, or guilt.


If you’ve ever wondered why your child is constantly fatigued, struggles with emotional outbursts, or just can’t seem to focus, this episode will change how you see parenting forever.


"I'm not about fixing kids. I'm about creating a culture of nourishment in your home." ~ Jess Sherman
