As founder and director of the Children's Primary Care Medical Group W.E.L.L. nutrition clinic, she helped thousands of families achieve healthy weight loss for kids using evidence-based strategies that work in busy, real-world settings, including prescription of obesity medications and GLP-1 agonists for teens with severe obesity.
