72. Examining the Harmful Implications of the AAP's Guidelines on Weight Loss Medication and Surgery for Children with Jessica Setnick, MS, RD, CEDRD-S

Join legend Jessica Setnick and me in a conversation discussing the recent AAP guidelines. The AAP has suggested weight loss medication as young as 12 and weight loss surgery as young as 13 for children they deem "obese." Naturally, as eating disorder clinicians, we'll have a reaction or two to that. Jessica never disappoints, she's highly entertaining and delivers really important information for you to become a more informed patient.    Jessica's website  Find an eating disorder dietitian at [email protected]  Ragen Chastain's research into the AAP's guidelines and authors of the guidelines  IFEDD Response  LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.
