How to Work as a Family to Improve Health with Guest Dr. Bleistein

Treating obesity is so much more than just working out more and eating less. This is true for every age, from children on up. With the recent release of new guidelines on treating obesity in children, I asked Dr. Abby Bleistein to join us for today's episode to tackle the most controversial recommendations in the new guidelines—the use of medications and surgery for children with obesity. Dr.  Bleistein is the founder and medical director of an obesity medicine practice that focuses on the importance of comprehensive care and a multidisciplinary approach to obesity—with primary care, along with specialists in the areas of diet, nutrition, training, psychology, sleep disorders, trauma, and eating disorders. She highlights the need to treat the underlying causes of obesity to make a lasting impact on her patients' health—thoughtfully considering factors such as nutrition, fitness, metabolic health, and lifestyle.  Get her insight and info by tuning in today!More from our guest:Abby L.
