Description
What does a healthy approach to weight management look like for a growing teenager? Adolescent obesity is not simply a matter of willpower, and meaningful care often involves looking beyond food and physical activity alone.
In this live Q&A Dr. Francesca Dimou and Dr. Alyssa Woodard, our subject matter experts in weight management and adolescent obesity, will answer your questions about the medical, emotional and social factors that can affect a young person’s weight. From explaining health conditions associated with excess weight gain to suggested lifestyle changes and the role of medications and bariatric surgery, Dr. Dimou and Woodard will cover it all. Please register to pre-submit your questions or ask them in the chat during the stream.
