UTAH PEDIATRICIAN LAUNCHES “NIBBLES AND SPROUTS,” A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND PRACTICE CREATED TO FILL IMPORTANT GAP IN CHILDREN’S HEALTH
Nibbles and Sprouts Gives Parents Personalized Coaching and Effective Tools to Help Their Children Overcome Barriers to Healthy Eating
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Today, Dr. Bonnie Feola, a trusted and award-winning pediatrician for more than 30 years, announced the launch of Nibbles and Sprouts, a first-of-its-kind practice created to help children overcome barriers to healthy eating. Dr. Bonnie created Nibbles and Sprouts to fill an important gap in young children’s health by offering pediatric culinary medicine coaching for parents and kids.
Over the course of her career as a board-certified and award winning pediatrician, Dr. Bonnie was frustrated by the lack of time she could devote to supporting parents in trying to raise their children to have a happy relationship with healthy food.
“I have long recognized that food is medicine, and that establishing a happy, positive relationship with healthy food, at an early age, is key to a person’s long-term health and wellness,” said Dr. Bonnie. “My desire, with Nibbles and Sprouts, is to help children overcome barriers to eating healthy and empower them so they can continue making healthier eating choices on their own.”
With the launch of Nibbles and Sprouts, Dr. Bonnie aims to provide evidence-based insights to help parents of children 10 years old and younger learn to prepare wholesome foods their children will eat, and to help children savor foods that are healthiest for them.
Dr. Bonnie, who is also a professionally trained chef, seeks to cut through the confusion and frustration many parents face around mealtime by providing simple and cost-effective nutrition solutions and personalized strategies designed to lead children to eat healthy foods without a power struggle.
“As a mom myself, I know the power struggles that often exist at mealtime when we try to help our young children eat what we know is best for them,” said Dr. Bonnie. “As a pediatrician, and now with a focus on pediatric culinary medicine, I have learned powerful strategies to help parents avoid confrontations at mealtime and help children make healthier food choices on their own, so they feel empowered at the dinner table.”
Through Nibbles and Sprouts, Dr. Bonnie is offering personal consultations and customized nutrition and behavioral eating strategies for parents with children who struggle with common challenges in which food may play a significant role. For example, if a child is a picky eater or has been diagnosed with constipation, weight concerns, ADHD, or other medical conditions, Dr. Bonnie will provide evidence-based behavioral feeding and eating strategies–paired with nutritional and cooking technique advice–to help children become happier and healthier eaters. This holistic and comprehensive approach to children’s food and health is central to the field of pediatric culinary medicine and seeks to provide healthy eating options for a child’s very specific needs.
On the Nibbles and Sprouts website, parents can choose from a variety of personal coaching options to fit their concerns regarding their child’s eating habits or health challenges.

“My goal is to provide parents with the best toolkit possible so their children will eat healthier, make better food choices and enjoy an improved quality of life,” said Dr. Bonnie. “I’m excited to teach parents about the power of pediatric culinary medicine and know that it is an absolute win-win for both parents and children.”
