About Power Up Your Kids
Our Mission
Power Up Your Kids is dedicated to helping parents raise healthy, active children through practical nutrition strategies and evidence-based information. We believe in the “But Better” philosophy – upgrading family favorites rather than restricting them – to make healthy eating sustainable and enjoyable for the whole family.

Beyond our immediate family, we have a close-knit group of friends, all with adult children who:
- Remained active in sports through adolescence
- Pursued university education (some completing PhDs)
- Developed healthy relationships with food and exercise
- Grew into successful, balanced adults
