How can parents effectively combat the rising tide of pediatric obesity amidst today's culture of ultra-processed foods? Join us in this compelling episode of Cold Pressed Conversations as I sit down with Dr. Sheila Carroll, a renowned pediatrician and board-certified obesity medicine physician who has shifted her career towards becoming a certified life and weight loss coach. Dr. Carroll shares her profound journey and insights into transforming family health, stressing the critical role of parental influence in nurturing healthier lifestyles for children.

Dr. Carroll underscores the importance of parents modeling healthy eating habits and fostering a mindset focused on long-term health and enjoyment. We also discuss how coaching can revolutionize family health by helping parents adopt more supportive thoughts about food, leading to better health outcomes and a greater sense of commitment rather than deprivation.
