Ep. 120: When to Worry About Your Child’s Weight
Is your child’s weight something to be concerned about—or just a normal part of growing up? Pediatrician and registered dietitian Natalie Muth, MD joins me to talk about how doctors decide when a child’s weight needs attention.

Plus, we share practical tips for supporting healthy habits at home without harming your child’s self-esteem.
