Feeding Kids Without the Fight: A Conversation with Lucy Upton

In this episode, Lawrence and Mat sit down with Lucy Upton, founder of The Children’s Dietitian, for an honest conversation about the often stressful realities of feeding kids. A leading paediatric dietitian and feeding therapist with over a decade of NHS and private sector experience, Lucy has supported thousands of families through challenges ranging from fussy eating and allergies to feeding difficulties linked to neurodivergence and medical conditions. Together, we unpack the daily struggle of getting children to the table, the impact of language and tone around food and how common parent-child dynamics can unintentionally fuel anxiety or resistance. With warmth and clarity, Lucy shares the evidence-based strategies she uses to help families build confidence, reduce mealtime stress and nurture a lifelong positive relationship with food.
