A recent study reviewed 114 Instagram posts labelled “balanced meals” — and only three were truly balanced. In upcoming episodes, we sit down with Ms. Hala Tajrine, a Clinical Dietitian who was trained in Canada and now works with families in Dubai through clinics and school wellbeing programs.
We unpack the myths parents still believe, the truth about lunchboxes, protein fiasco, gut health, sugar, sports fueling, picky eating, emotional eating, and the everyday habits that shape a child’s long-term health.
She also opens up about managing health of children as a working mother, and why she chose to lend her voice to the Chef-a-Doodle mission.
Hala brings a rare blend of science, compassion, and real-life parenting wisdom - the perfect guide for every family trying to navigate nutrition today.
