    Teens, Obesity & GLP1s: What You Need to Know About Weightloss Drugs for Your Kids, with Dr. Chris Bolling

    You've no doubt been hearing the buzz about weight loss medications for kids and teens. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “Obesity remains highly prevalent among children in the United States and is associated with an ever-increasing burden of obesity-related diseases.”And effective pediatric obesity prevention and treatment requires both societal interventions and health care system innovation. One recently approved treatment is the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists –or more commonly known as GLP-1s in adolescents. In this episode we are talking about how they work, who they're for, and just as importantly, what they aren't. This conversation is your roadmap through the noise, and that's why I've invited one of our favorite guests, Dr. Christopher Bowling, a national expert on childhood obesity to break it all down. #MomTok #ParentTok #GLP1 #childhoodobesity #weightloss #genetics #weightgain #obesity Resources: From American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Pediatric and Adolescent Obesity A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORT : “The Wegovy effect”  Wegovy use among US teens up 50% as obesity crisis worsens Share your thoughts, questions, show ideas: Have questions about today’s episode, or anything else related to the health and wellness of your family?

    The Heart of Summer Sport Safety: Discussing Kid’s Cardiac Health, with Rick Hart

    Today's episode is all about youth sports. As the weather gets warmer, organized sports and outdoor activities ramp up. Although there are numerous benefits to youth sports, from physical fitness, to enhanced social skills, and from boosted self-esteem to valuable life lessons, they do come with health risks, not the least of which is SCA or “sudden cardiac arrest.” Recently, laws have gone into effect in states across the country requiring defibrillators and trained individuals to administer them during games and practices. There are many factors that come into play when we think about the health and safety of our children as they're out on the field.  On this episode of “Growing Up with Dr. Sarah” I’m joined by Rick Hart. He's a friend and founder and CEO of Jump Start Sports. He's not just building strong athletes. He's helping to lead the way in protecting them through education, policy and preparedness.
