Corridor Primary Care Pediatrics

In this week’s episode of Eat Your Greens with Dr. Black, I talk with pediatric nurse practitioner April Jones about HealthQuest — a gamified program that helps kids and parents learn healthy habits together.

What I appreciate most about her approach is that it doesn’t assume families just need more willpower. It starts with a simple barrier assessment and small SMART goals. Kids learn by taking care of a virtual dragon while building real-life skills like:

• Recognizing hunger and fullness
• Understanding emotions that drive eating
• Practicing mindful eating
• Building confidence through small wins

We also talk about why prevention works best when it’s shared — not when kids are told to “just do better.”

If you’re trying to support your child’s health in a way that feels practical, engaging, and actually doable, I think you’ll find this conversation helpful.

It’s a Fun Facts episode this week — and we’re celebrating National Broccoli Day! 🥦

Did you know:
🥦 One cup has more vitamin C than an orange
🥦 It’s packed with fiber
🥦 It forms powerful compounds when you chop it (so let it sit ≥10 minutes before cooking!)

Somethings are called "superfoods" for a reason!

Are you Team Broccoli… or still undecided?
