Pediatric Obesity: Treating Obesity Early
There are currently many articles how adolescent obesity is on the rise and how they need more counselling – both are true and right now the recommendations are “less electronics and go outside more”, which is already uncomfortable when you are overweight and it also looks like your parents are making you exercise – that is close to public humiliation for a child. Children, like adults, have a hard time starting something new but children are more likely to maintain those changes easier than adults.
The FDA has approved Wegovy(Semaglutide) for weight loss in children 12 years up and older. We all want our children to experience life to the fullest and if their weight is holding them back from taking opportunities, having great life experiences, and developing relationships now, then it will only be harder for them in the future. Allow us to help your child lose weight so they can decrease the harmful mental and physical health effects that are from excess weight into their future.
