How to get a significant other to eat healthier" is one of the top questions I get from clients. It varies in the delivery, but often sounds like: "My spouse doesn’t like healthy food! What do I do?" or "I’m trying to get healthy, but my partner buys junk food which makes it hard for me to eat healthy at home!"

It can be challenging when you’re trying to adopt a cleaner way of eating but can’t bring your partner along for the ride. I can relate, because I grew up a "whole wheat" girl, but I married a "white bread" guy. I was raised in the healthy-eating, organic-obsessed culture of the San Francisco Bay Area; he grew up in the deep-dish pizza-loving suburbs of Chicago. My childhood was filled with fruits, vegetables and home cooked meals–I was raised to be "picky" about what I put into my body and to eat junk food in moderation. For him, ice cream and French fries were a way of life.
