Khirma Eliazov: Getting Quality Nutrition into Picky Eaters
As a mom and practitioner, I see every day how hard it can be to get real, quality nutrition into our kids — and honestly, into ourselves. In this conversation, I sit down with Khirma Eliazov, the founder of Kika Nutrition, to talk about what's really behind picky eating, nutrient deficiencies, and why even the "healthiest" diets can still fall short. What stood out to me most is how much this comes back to the basics: absorption, gut health, and consistency. We talk about how most families are doing their best, but our food supply simply isn't as nutrient-dense as it used to be. That's where smart, simple solutions can make a real difference. I also share my own experience trying Kika at home and how easy it is to incorporate into everyday foods without adding stress to your routine. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to nourish your family well, this episode will meet you right where you are.
