Speaking of Health & Wellness

Speaking of Health & Wellness is a podcast channel supporting parents of children with complex picky eating, both with and without neurodevelopmental differences. Hosted by Shandy Watters (formerly Laskey), an integrative Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in pediatric feeding and a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. This channel explores the connection between nutrition, feeding, development, behavior, and nervous system regulation.

Through thoughtful podcast episodes, we dive into holistic nutrition, functional medicine, low-toxicant living, and developmental strategies, with a special focus on children experiencing complex picky eating, developmental delays, and neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, Down syndrome, and more. This space is designed to help parents better understand their child’s needs and feel informed, empowered, and supported as they navigate health and development through a gentle, whole-child lens.
