    Why Won’t My Child Gain Weight? The Real Reasons (It’s Not Just About Calories)

    Your child eats… but the scale barely moves. You’re counting bites, tracking calories, maybe even adding butter and shakes — and still, nothing changes. In this episode, Christine breaks down the real reasons kids struggle to gain weight — and why it’s rarely about calories alone. From missing hunger cues to food sensitivities, gut inflammation, thyroid and iron issues, and sensory challenges, she walks you through what to test, what to look for, and how to bring appetite back naturally. You’ll learn: • Why some kids stop feeling hunger altogether • How to tell if constipation, reflux, or inflammation are secretly blocking growth • What food sensitivities and gut testing can reveal (now included in all evaluations starting Dec 1!) • When appetite stimulants help — and when they’re just a temporary fix • How to rebuild comfort, structure, and real hunger cues at home 💡 Ready to find out what’s holding your child back? Take the free quiz at thepickyeaterstest.com to learn your child’s stage — Fearful, Stuck, or Curious — and discover the right next step. Or, if appetite and weight are your biggest concerns, skip straight to the Premium Mealtime Roadmap, which now includes food sensitivity and gut microbiome testing for a complete inside-out look at your child’s nutrition and digestion.
