Weighty Issues

What is normal weight and are we obsessed it with it? Whether it’s the alarming growth of obesity, especially among children, or the flip side obsession with being “model thin”, Americans have issues with weight. Our guest expert, Joanna Dolgoff, MD is a pediatrician and child obesity expert. We’ll be chatting with her about food additions and food myths, body image, the negative message that normal weight Moms who diet send to their daughters, and why obesity is on the rise.
