Navigating the world of pediatric health can feel like an uphill battle, especially when conventional advice falls short.
Years of feeling stuck and unsatisfied with treatment options for my child led me to question the standard practices in pediatric care.
Here's what I learned along the way:
- The impact of bias and stigma in healthcare decisions.
- The health risks associated with elevated BMI and rapid weight changes.
- The inadequacy of routine counseling in pediatric visits.
As a medical professional with a background in nutrition, pediatrics, and coaching, I felt paralyzed.
If I was struggling, who was getting it right?
How can we improve our approach to truly support children's health?
