Hi, I'm Danielle
I'm a pediatric dietitian and the founder of Nourished Pediatrics. My career has taken me from public health and WIC to outpatient GI and feeding clinics, and today I support families nationwide with picky eating, feeding disorders, gut health, and growth. That range is what I bring to your product: an understanding of how kids eat, how families make decisions, and what providers look for before they recommend something.
- - Brand advisory for kids' food and supplement companies
- - Pediatric GI clinics: digestive tolerance and real-world symptoms
- - Interdisciplinary feeding teams: how picky eaters respond to new foods
- - Early Intervention, ages 0 to 3: babies and toddlers at home
- - Public health and WIC: what families across income levels can use
- SOS Approach to Feeding
- AEIOU feeding approach
- GI Dietitian Masterclass (SIBO Academy)
- ARFID for Dietitians
- Functional Nutrition Practitioners Institute
- Lactation
- Registered Dietitian (RD)
- Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN)
- Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC)
- Certified Gastrointestinal Nutritionist (CGN)
What I see in practice, built into your product
I work with picky eaters, feeding disorders, and GI issues every week, and that experience shapes every review.
Claims that earn provider trust
Clinical review means your messaging is grounded in evidence and easy for providers (MD, SLP, RD, OT, BCBA) to recommend with confidence.
Subspecialty depth
ARFID, PFD, tube weaning, GI nutrition, and neurodivergent feeding are where most nutrition voices go quiet. If your product touches any of these, you need someone who works in them every week.
Insight from families and providers
I support families every day and collaborate closely with their care teams, so I know what each looks for in a product.
Parent insight you can build on
I’ve gathered input from hundreds of parents about their child’s eating. Paired with my proprietary clinical framework for why kids struggle at the table, it helps your product meet families where they are.
What's missing from most pediatric product teams?
R&D teams understand ingredients. Marketing teams understand parents. But who's thinking about how kids actually respond?
A formula can look great on paper and still miss how a selective eater responds to the taste or texture. A supplement dose can be clinically appropriate but unrealistic for a toddler. An app can be beautifully designed yet offer advice that backfires at the dinner table.
That's where I come in. I bring real-world pediatric clinical experience into product development, helping brands create solutions that are evidence-based, practical, and designed for the families who actually use them.
This is a fit if you are...
- A founder building a food, supplement, or app for babies, toddlers, or kids
- A product or R&D lead who wants clinical input before decisions are locked in
- A science or regulatory team that needs claims a provider would stand behind
- An established brand adding a pediatric product line
