What the experts say about us

As always great :) Every new opportunity when I can listen to Jitka brings me clarification of what I've already heard, but also new aha moments, or reassurance that I'm on the right track in solving the given problem - the webinar is definitely worth participating even if, like me, you have already been present at other events organized by The Eating School.

I am delighted with the seminar, especially with the sympathetic and nice instructor, who provides interesting information and tips in an understandable form. Thank you for a pleasant educational day!

I am very excited that this method even exists. Which I had no idea in the past. I really enjoyed the seminar, it's great to see someone who is passionate about their work and very creative. The seminar broadened my horizons a lot.

The seminar was recommended to me during my internship and it perfectly complements the oral position therapy system. A very well-developed topic that I encounter in practice on a daily basis.

Thank you very much for the seminar, I am grateful for the fact that I was able to gain new inspiration and learn about a RESPECTFUL and FUN approach that helps children to effectively develop a positive relationship with food. I'm looking forward to potential teamwork!

I am very happy for this seminar, it beautifully introduced complexity and complexity. I would definitely welcome a sequel :) Thank you!

I have been sending patients to Jitka for some time now and they are always very satisfied. The course is a really good guide to expanding the children's diet. I highly recommend!

It's great and I'm glad you're doing it. I have been dealing with the topic for years, I have looked for information in every possible way and found it, but nowhere in such a comprehensive and professional way, or often with a mixture of inexpertness or gaps. You have everything together, logically and methodically functional. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the comprehensive and clear transfer of information in such a short period of time, the seminar was very beneficial and inspiring for me.

You've seen us: The Eating School at professional conferences

Conference: IX. Pediatric master course

In April of this year, the IX. Pediatric Master Course, a Nutricia accredited event that attracted experts in the field of infant and child nutrition. The congress, which aimed to present the latest recommendations and procedures for solving problems in the fields of gastroenterology, allergy and nutrition, became a place for professional exchange of opinions and inspiration for doctors and other experts.

10th Congress of Paediatrics for Practice

At the Ostrava jubilee 10. At the Congress of Pediatrics for Practice, I had the opportunity to present The Eating School and its mission to experts. My presentation on the topic: "Non-invasive diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options for children with eating disorders at an early age" was aimed at presenting to pediatricians what children can face.

Conference: childhood obesity in the context of eating disorders

In December 2023, a conference dedicated to the topic of childhood obesity and its causes was held in Prague aftermath. The program was provided by the Society for Nutrition, which brings together independent nutrition and food industry experts. And although I usually focus on eating disorders in children from the underdevelopment side, preparing for the conference led me to an interesting discovery: many children with obesity experience a strange paradox. Although they often have a limited diet, they still tend to consume large amounts of their favorite foods. So this is a completely identical problem to that of children who are not making progress. This interesting insight became the basis of my presentation, which dealt with non-invasive therapeutic approaches to the treatment of eating disorders in children.
