📣📣 FREE CLASS

Is your child hyperactive or impulsive? Do they lack focus or concentration at school? Have a poor appetite, or sleep issues? Are they tired often? Are they pale with dark circles under their eyes? Complain of headaches? Has their weight or height become a concern and are not growing well?

It could be due to their iron levels!

If you've been around here for a while you've probably heard us talking incessantly about how important iron is for your child to thrive and that a low iron level can lead to many different health concerns and complications. But maybe you aren't sure exactly what that means for your child and if they are at risk of iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia.

Come and join Ange in the Nourished Classroom Wednesday October 18 @ 12pm EST.

We'll show you why iron is so important to your child’s overall health, learning, growth, mood, focus and behaviour.

Spots are limited so please register ASAP if you know you want to join for this one!

ATTENTION & IRON DEFICIENCY⁣
⁣
If a child is having problems with attention and focus PLUS some symptoms like:⁣
⁣
🧩poor appetite;⁣
🧩pale skin;⁣
🧩fatigue;⁣
🧩poor growth & development;⁣
🧩dizzy when standing;⁣
🧩decreased energy;⁣
🧩frequent infections;⁣
🧩or eating non food items:⁣
⁣
it could indicate an Iron Deficiency⁣.
⁣
Iron is key for carrying oxygen around their little bodies. Their muscles function, tone and endurance are dependent on iron as well. It’s a pretty big deal.⁣
⁣
Do you see any of these symptoms in your child? We’re here to help!

03/21/2023

YES!! Our advocacy is working!

We open our platform almost daily now to referrals like this one from doctors, paediatricians & other healthcare providers.

Does this sound like something you would need a referral for? Just ask your provider and and stay strong in your belief that nutrition can be part of the treatment plan for your kiddo!

A child’s brain is ~2% of their body weight, but uses 20% of their body’s energy.⁣
⁣
The brain is powerful…and seemingly hungry 😉⁣
⁣
Hungry for the good stuff.⁣
⁣
What are you feeding your child’s brain today?

02/14/2023

We know that iron is important for our kids and a deficiency can impact or contribute to:⁣
⁣
👉impaired growth⁣
👉learning and behaviour⁣
👉social withdrawal⁣
👉delayed motor skills⁣
👉muscle weakness⁣
⁣
So as parents we want to make sure our child is getting enough of it. BUT that doesn’t mean we should use a ‘just in case’ approach to giving iron supplements. Giving too much iron can cause serious side effects if not monitored.⁣
⁣
If a low iron diet and deficiency is suspected, a visit with a paediatrician and paediatric dietitian is key. They will analyze their diet and look for any signs and symptoms of iron deficiency.⁣
⁣
If a supplement is suggested, follow the directions closely and continue to be followed by the health professional so they can monitor iron status.⁣

An iron supplement geared towards children is generally low in dosage so for the vast majority is safe to take BUT its is always good practice to chat with a professional about it.

What are your iron supplement questions?

02/07/2023

Your child’s diet, nutrition and associated behaviour is as important as their ability learn math! ⁣
⁣
We know that as a parent you may feel overwhelmed or lost in the sea of nutrition advice out there.⁣
⁣
So, we are here to help guide you. ⁣
⁣

VITAMIN D QUICK FACTS

01/23/2023

HAVE YOU HAD VITAMIN D CHECKED?

Vitamin D is critical for EVERY brain function and body system!⁣
⁣
It’s a hormone found in every tissue of the body, ⁣
⁣
Kids need it for:⁣
⁣
👉immune system support⁣
👉brain development⁣
👉neurotransmitter function⁣
⁣
Because it plays such an important role in immune function and regulation of mood, low levels can cause or make mood and behaviour problems worse.⁣
⁣
Problems like:⁣
👉increased anxiety and depression⁣
👉learning difficulties⁣
👉problems with focus and attention⁣
👉increased aggression⁣
⁣
Who is at risk for Vitamin D deficiency?⁣
⁣
Children who:⁣
👉do not get adequate sun exposure⁣ (without sunscreen for short periods)
👉have darker skin pigmentation⁣
👉take certain prescription medications⁣
👉actually..pretty much every child no matter what they eat as food has very little vitamin D available.
⁣
We see many children with confirmed vitamin D deficiency even when parents thought levels would be fine. It’s a sneaky deficiency but one that if we pay attention to can be improved quite easily.
