Every parent knows the feeling
You’ve tried hiding vegetables. You’ve made separate meals.
You’ve used reward charts, the one-bite rule, and every tip you could find online.
And you’re exhausted because nothing has stuck.
Here’s what I want you to know: when picky eating is really anxiety, standard strategies will
never be enough. Because they’re treating the wrong problem.
Once you understand what’s driving your child’s behavior; the nervous system,
the anxiety, the emotional piece underneath, then everything changes.
That’s what we do here at Generational Wellbeing.

Dr. Lum Frundi, MD
Board-Certified in Pediatrics and Integrative Medicine · Author of The Worry Garden · Founder, Generational Wellbeing
For years I’ve sat across from parents who are doing everything right and still feeling like they’re failing at mealtimes. I understand that exhaustion deeply.
When picky eating is caused by anxiety or a dysregulated nervous system, hiding vegetables or using reward charts won’t solve it. The nervous system must come first. And once it does, the nutrition piece becomes so much more possible.
That’s the foundation of everything I teach in my course “When Nothing Works”, in my free monthly workshops, and in every free resource I create for families like yours.
My promise: I’ll meet you where you are. I’ll give you evidence-based guidance. And I’ll walk alongside you every step of the way.

What Parents are Saying...
Real families. Real results. Less stress at the table — more connection.
“I used to dread dinner every single night. After working with Dr. Lum, I finally understand why my son was refusing foods — and I have tools that actually work. Mealtimes feel so much calmer now..”
-Amanda R., mom of a 4-year-old
“Dr. Frundi doesn’t just give you advice — she helps you understand your child. That shift in perspective completely changed how I approach food in our house.”
-Jessica S., mom of two
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions? Here are the answers:
1. Who is this for?
Parents of children ages 6 months to 12 years struggling with picky eating, food refusal, food anxiety, or stressful mealtimes. If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked, you’re in exactly the right place.
2. What makes When Nothing Works different?
Most picky eating programs treat food as a food problem. When Nothing Works addresses the nervous system and anxiety underneath the behavior — which is why it reaches children that standard strategies simply can’t.
3. What are the two free resources?
I offer two free resources for parents. The Picky Eater Solution is a downloadable guide with practical mealtime strategies. The Calm Kids Checklist (calmkidschecklist.com) is a simple daily checklist to help your child feel calmer, braver, and more confident. Both are free — and both are a great starting point.
4. My child’s doctor says they’ll grow out of it. Should I wait?
Some children do. But when food anxiety is the driver, waiting often makes the safe food list shorter, not longer. If mealtimes are consistently stressful, it’s worth addressing now.
5. What’s the difference between the course and private coaching?
The course gives you the full framework at your own pace. Coaching adds personalized one-on-one support built around your specific child. Many families start with the course and add coaching for deeper support.
6. What are the free monthly workshops?
Every month I host a free live workshop on picky eating, food anxiety, and childhood emotional wellbeing. Replays at youtube.com/@KidsNutritionandPickyEating.
7. How do I book Dr. Lum to speak?
Use the Speaking section above or reach out by email. Dr. Lum speaks at parenting events, podcasts, corporate wellness programs, school programs, and community workshops.
