From Struggling Child to Pediatric Expert 

As an overweight child and teen, I know the shame and isolation your child may be feeling. Despite my parents' best efforts - and later, my own attempts at every diet and exercise plan - the struggle followed me for decades, even through medical school and my pediatric career.

After 20 years as a pediatrician, I realized something crucial: medical school never taught me how to actually help families prevent and reverse childhood weight struggles. It only taught me to treat the diseases that result from them.

When I discovered how to apply family systems approaches to metabolic health, everything changed. I lost 45 pounds and reversed both my own and my son's insulin resistance - not through dieting, but by changing our family environment and patterns.

Now, as a pediatrician-turned-family coach specializing in childhood weight and metabolic health, I help other parents create the same transformation. Because here's what I learned: kids can't do this alone, but when parents change the family system, children naturally thrive.
