Presented a lightning talk yesterday on "Disordered Eating Behaviors in Children and Adolescents Starting Obesity Treatment." Great experience at the NIDDK workshop for Pharmacotherapy for Obesity in Children and Adolescents! Great experience, great questions afterwards.

Just finished speaking on a patient panel in Bethesda. I am constantly blown away by the strength and resilience of kids/teens/adults living with obesity. So many great points made by fellow panelists.

Shout-out to @Mrs_Witherspoon for removing this book (Mom's Diet by Joy Cowley) from her school's collection. Kids (especially K-2) don't need any more exposure to #weightstigma and #dietculture.

Our commentary in @aap_peds on "Improving the Effectiveness and Equity of Child Obesity Interventions" is available now. We discuss obesity treatment in real-world settings and considerations for barriers, relationship building, dose, weight stigma, and racial/ethnic equity.

Excited to share our findings from the implementation of a clinic-based food pantry in a pediatric obesity treatment clinic. We found 50% of families using the food pantry screened negative for food insecurity! Read more here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08…

Great talk at #ObesityWeek2024 by Deanna Hoelscher, PhD, RDN, LD! A reminder that "context matters" with school health measurement. Also, as evaluators, we need to consider strategies beyond traditional RCTs (like stepped wedge designs) to capture what's happening.
