What do Obesity Medicine Pediatricians do?
Obesity medicine pediatricians evaluate, diagnose, and treat childhood obesity by addressing its medical, genetic, and behavioral causes and related health conditions like prediabetes or high cholesterol.
They create customized treatment plans that can include nutritional support, physical activity guidance, behavioral counseling, and, when appropriate, medication or referrals for surgery.
These doctors work collaboratively and non-stigmatizingly with the family to achieve a healthy weight and improve the child’s overall well-being.
What they do
Evaluation and diagnosis: They assess a child’s weight and overall health, looking for both the causes of weight gain and any related health issues.
Treatment plan development: They create a personalized care plan that may include lifestyle changes, medication, and support for more advanced options.
Behavioral and lifestyle support: They help families make sustainable changes to diet, increase physical activity, and address other behavioral factors.
Management of related conditions: They diagnose and treat obesity-related health problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea.
Collaboration and referrals: They work with a multidisciplinary team and refer patients to other specialists, such as dietitians, psychologists, or surgeons, when necessary.
Aspects
Holistic: They address the physical, psychological, and social factors that contribute to obesity and its management.
Family-centered: The focus is on working with the entire family to support the child.
Evidence-based: They use strategies and treatments recommended by organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Collaborative goal-setting: They partner with the child and family to set realistic goals that go beyond just weight, including improvements in self-image and quality of life.
