“He amazes us every day with examples of impulse control and self-regulation, with fewer and milder episodes of emotion. He will even say, “I almost did _____, but I stopped.” Joy!” SR

“My daughter with autism ate three foods and one was cheese pizza. She would not touch protein, and I was so worried about her. At first, I grated chicken into the pizza sauce by the teaspoon (baby bird technique, per Jan). Now, she’s eating chicken tenders and ground grass-fed beef. She’s getting second-hand salad (another Jan-ism, LOL).” LM

“My 14 yr-old son has gone from crying after online and in-person school, saying he hates himself and hates school, to being confident as he starts class in the morning. We are so grateful for your guidance and the ability to know which foods to offer him and when. It has been life-changing for S. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” SD

“I have now joined a task force that is attempting to create a lunch program in our school. Not just any lunch program! This one we hope will parallel your book, Nutrition for Development and Learning” NK

“I never knew food addiction was a thing. I was so focused on the scale, I didn’t realize I was dieting and choosing foods that set me up for failure. Thank-you for helping me create a sustainable food plan and for supporting me through my hardest moments.” DK

“Jan’s mindful chewing techniques have helped me slow down, taste my food, and get in touch with fullness. Weight loss has been consistent, but best of all, I feel so much better!” RC
