Today’s guest is Dr. Sheila Carroll, a board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine physician who is dedicated to helping children achieve their best health. She does this by working exclusively with parents who are willing to focus on modifying their own behaviors to ultimately improve their child's health.
While Dr. Sheila and I talk a lot about parenting and establishing healthy food relationships for our children, we also talk a lot about emotional eating, the power of our thoughts, and habit change and formation that anyone will find valuable, whether you have kids or not.
Other highlights of our conversation include:
How understanding the power of her thoughts helped Dr. Sheila lose 50 pounds, tools that she learned as a life coach, not as a doctor, and how she translates these tools for families and children
What she wants you to know if you have a child struggling with a weight issue
Why cooking more at home and decreasing take out and processed food is the number one takeaway for creating positive change
Why acceptance can help you overcome resistance to anything
How to better navigate picky eating and why children no longer need to be a part of the clean plate club
