When Picky Eating Isn’t a Phase — You Need a Different Kind of Plan
You don’t need more tips — you need clarity about what’s actually going on.
For parents of children who eat fewer than ~20 foods, melt down at meals, or seem anxious, sensitive, or stuck despite trying everything.
You're Here Because
-
Your child eats the same foods every day — and removing pressure didn’t help
-
New foods trigger anxiety, gagging, shutdowns, or meltdowns — even when you try to stay calm
-
Everyone keeps saying ‘it’s a phase’… but your gut says it’s not — and you’re tired of guessing
-
You’ve tried rewards, exposure, feeding therapy, or courses — and nothing truly changed
That doesn’t mean you waited too long — it means the right pieces were never fully assessed.
The Mealtime Roadmap is a personalized clinical evaluation + step-by-step plan that looks at why your child struggles — across gut health, sensory processing, oral-motor skills, and mindset.
The Foodology Mealtime Roadmap™
A personalized clinical evaluation + implementation plan
for children whose eating struggles haven’t resolved with tips, therapy, or time.
This is not a generic course.
It’s not weekly therapy hoping something eventually sticks.
The Mealtime Roadmap is a comprehensive, root-cause evaluation designed to identify why your child struggles with food — and a guided plan to help you move forward with clarity instead of guesswork.
If you’ve felt stuck, confused, or unsure what to do next — or exhausted from trying to stay calm while nothing changes — this is designed to bring clarity and direction.
We look beyond behavior to understand what’s actually driving your child’s eating challenges.
Every personalized Roadmap includes 8 guided implementation sessions with a feeding therapist.
We walk you through the plan step-by-step so you’re not guessing, Googling, or feeling overwhelmed.
Most families see progress within the first few weeks.
Who This Is For
The Mealtime Roadmap is for parents who:
-
Know their child’s picky eating isn’t “just a phase”
-
Have tried rewards, pressure removal, exposure, or therapy — with limited or short-lived progress
-
Want real answers — not more strategies to juggle
-
Are ready to do the work once they understand why it matters
This is not for parents looking for quick fixes.
It’s for parents who want to understand what’s actually going on — and fix the right things first.
What Makes This Different
Most parents who find us have already tried “doing less,” “reducing pressure,” or “just exposing more.”
When that doesn’t work, it’s not because they failed — it’s because the missing pieces were never assessed.
Most feeding approaches focus on what to do at meals.
The Roadmap focuses on why eating feels hard for your child. We assess the systems that must work together for eating to feel safe and successful:
-
-
Gut health & immune tolerance
(appetite, inflammation, discomfort, stooling, hunger cues) -
Sensory processing & nervous system regulation
(why foods feel overwhelming before a bite happens) -
Oral-motor coordination & physical skill
(chewing, endurance, fatigue, gagging) -
Mindset, anxiety, and learned patterns around food
(fear, control, shutdown, past experiences)
-
When those pieces are understood and addressed together, progress finally becomes possible — and sustainable.

Investment
$3,400
Ongoing Coaching: $400/month
Flexible payment options available
Families who choose the Roadmap aren’t paying for information —
they’re investing in clarity, direction, and a plan that actually fits their child.
What Parents Typically Spend on Feeding Therapy
-
$150–$250 per session
-
1–2 sessions per week
-
$600–$2,000 per month
-
$7,000–$25,000+ per year
- Often without gut testing, food sensitivity testing, mindset coaching, parent instruction, Safe and Sound Music Therapy Protocol, or a unified plan
- Most families spend less in a year with the Roadmap than they would in 2–4 months of traditional feeding therapy.
The Mealtime Roadmap is a structured evaluation and guided implementation plan.
Instead of weekly clinic visits, you get a personalized plan, coaching, and expert oversight—so progress happens faster and with less disruption to family life.
What To Expect
Once you purchase the Roadmap, you’ll move through a clear, structured process designed to uncover the real reasons your child struggles with food — and help you finally move forward with confidence.
This isn’t guesswork. It’s not trial-and-error.
It’s a proven system that gives you answers, clarity, and step-by-step support.
Step 1: Launchpad + Test Kits
Right after checkout, you’ll receive instant access to the Launchpad, where you’ll complete:
-
Short mindset + foundational lessons
-
Your onboarding forms
-
Feeding history + environment questionnaire
-
Photo submissions for the oral-motor assessment
Within 2 business days, both testing kits will be shipped directly to your home:
-
Gut Health Stool Test Kit
-
90-Food Sensitivity Finger-Prick Test
Both are easy to complete at home, with clear instructions and support if questions come up, and mailed back the same day.
Most families complete this step over 1–2 weeks, at a pace that fits their schedule.
Step 2: Putting Together The Data
While your test kits are being processed, you'll continue submitting all required information inside the Launchpad:
-
Feeding history
-
Sensory + mindset forms
-
Environment + routine questionnaire
-
Oral-motor photos/videos
Once we receive all lab results back, we’ll reach out to schedule your 1.5-hour virtual evaluation to review everything together.
This session connects all the pieces — test results, assessments, photos, history — so you’ll finally understand exactly what’s going on and why your child has been struggling.
Step 3: Receive Your Personalized Mealtime Roadmap™ + Begin Coaching & Implementation
Once all assessments and lab results are complete, we synthesize everything into your child’s Personalized Mealtime Roadmap™ — a clear, step-by-step plan to guide next steps.
We’ll meet again for a virtual session to:
-
Review all findings together
-
Explain what the results actually mean
-
Answer your questions
-
Walk you through your child’s customized plan
-
Make sure you feel confident about the next steps
From here, we move directly into coaching — where real transformation begins.
This is where clarity turns into action — with support at every step.

Why This Evaluation Finds What Others Miss
Most feeding evaluations look only at behavior, exposure, or sensory challenges.
But if your child’s gut is inflamed, uncomfortable, or reacting to foods,
behavior-based strategies alone often fall short
This is why your Roadmap includes clinical gut testing + a 90-food sensitivity panel — something other clinics don’t offer (or even know to look for).
90-Food Sensitivity Panel (Finger-Prick Test)
These results are never used in isolation — they’re interpreted alongside symptoms, history, and regulation patterns to guide temporary support and reintroduction.
-
Identifies delayed inflammatory reactions
-
Shows which foods the body is struggling with
-
Helps explain eczema, constipation, bloating, behavior swings, low appetite
-
Includes elimination + reintroduction recommendations
-
Processed by a CLIA-certified lab
-
Done at home in under 10 minutes

-
Inflammation markers
-
Leaky gut indicators
-
Microbiome balance
-
Parasites or pathogens
-
Enzyme levels + absorption
-
Overgrowth (yeast, bacteria)
-
Detox pathways

Why These Tests Are Essential for Eating Progress
-
Kids won’t eat well if their gut is uncomfortable
-
Food pain → food avoidance
-
Inflammation → sensory overload
-
Poor digestion → poor hunger cues
-
Constipation → fear around eating
-
Discomfort → refusing textures
-
Imbalance → crankiness, stress, dysregulation
-
Unabsorbed nutrients → low energy + low appetite
Most feeding challenges start in the gut — not the mouth.
Why Insurance Doesn’t Cover This Testing
Insurance typically covers IgE-mediated allergies (immediate reactions).
It does not typically cover delayed inflammatory responses or microbiome analysis.
-
Delayed inflammatory food reactions
-
Gut health markers
-
Microbiome analysis
-
Enzyme + digestive function
-
Leaky gut
-
Overgrowth patterns
-
Parasites/bacteria not on standard panels
These tests aren’t part of the standard medical model — but they absolutely impact how a child eats.
What It Would Cost on Your Own
Most third-party labs charge $1,000+ combined when ordered independently.
(And that does not include interpretation or a personalized plan.)
With your Roadmap, families get:
✔ The testing
✔ The interpretation
✔ The integration
✔ The plan
✔ And the coaching to implement it
…for a fraction of the cost.
This is not allergy testing.
We always recommend families complete allergy testing with their pediatrician or allergist to rule out IgE-mediated allergies.
Our testing looks at different immune pathways that affect eating, behavior, digestion, and sensory comfort.
Let's Get Started Today!
Rachel M., Mom of 6-year-old Lily
"We were stuck in a cycle of frustration, trying everything we could think of but nothing seemed to work. After taking the quiz and realizing our daughter’s picky eating might be more than just a phase, we decided to invest in the Roadmap. This was a game-changer. The food sensitivities we uncovered had been missed by previous doctors, and we also uncovered some oral motor issues that were affecting her ability to chew and swallow properly. The report was crazy thorough and long, and it gave us actionable steps and, most importantly, we felt supported every step of the way. The 1:1 consultation with Christine was invaluable—she gave us confidence that we were on the right path, and we now have a detailed plan that addresses everything from her gut health to her mindset. I’m so grateful for this program and the results we’ve seen so far. Our daughter is eating more variety, and we’re feeling more empowered as parents."
Sarah P., Mom of 4-year-old Emma
"I was feeling completely overwhelmed, like I was constantly walking on eggshells. Every mealtime was a battle, and it felt like food had become the enemy in our house. My daughter’s refusal to eat or try anything new was putting so much stress on us that I started avoiding meals together. We could no longer enjoy family dinners, and I was terrified every time we went out or to a friend’s house. I couldn’t take her anywhere without worrying about what she would eat, and that added so much pressure. I felt like a failure as a mom, and I didn’t know how to help her anymore.
Then we found the Roadmap. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the videos and easy-to-follow plan gave me the direction I desperately needed. Christine’s approach was different from anything I had tried—it wasn’t about forcing my daughter to eat, but understanding why she was avoiding food. The roadmap made me realize I wasn’t failing, I just needed a better strategy.
It’s been a few weeks now, and although we’re still working through it, there’s a noticeable difference. Mealtimes feel less tense, and my daughter is slowly becoming more open to trying new things without me feeling like I’m pulling teeth. I can finally have hope that we’ll get there, and I’m feeling more confident in my role as a mom. The best part? We can actually enjoy meals as a family again."
