Managing a child’s weight can be complicated and emotionally sensitive. Families are often exposed to conflicting information about nutrition, hormones, insulin resistance and newer weight-management medications.

In this parent-focused webinar, pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Rinku Mehra explains the medical concepts families should understand so they can have a more informed conversation with their child’s healthcare team.

You will learn:

• How clinicians evaluate weight and metabolic health in children

• Why weight is influenced by more than willpower

• When an endocrine condition may—or may not—contribute to weight gain
