Standard treatment for obesity, based on a law of physics, assumes that all calories are alike, and that to lose weight one must simply “eat less and move more.” However, this prescription rarely works over the long term. According to the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of obesity, the metabolic condition of fat cells plays a key role in determining body weight. High intakes of processed carbohydrate raise insulin levels and program fat cells to store too many calories, leaving too few for the rest of the body. Consequently, hunger increases, and metabolic rate slows in the body's attempt to conserve energy. From this perspective, calorie-restricted, low-fat diets amount to symptomatic treatment, destined to fail for most people. Instead, a dietary strategy aiming to lower insulin secretion promises to increase the effectiveness of long-term weight management and chronic disease prevention. David S. Ludwig, M.D., Ph.D., is an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and professor of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health. For more than 25 years, Dr. Ludwig has studied the effects of dietary composition on metabolism, body weight and risk for chronic disease—with a special focus on low glycemic index, low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. Described as an “obesity warrior” by Time magazine, Dr. Ludwig has fought for fundamental policy changes to improve the food environment. He has authored more than 200 scientific articles and presently serves as an editor at the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and The BMJ.

We all have big dreams for our little people, and there are so many ways to define success: finding purpose in life and work, reaching goals (whatever those might be), surrounding yourself with loved ones, to name just a few. Psychologists have pointed to a variety of practices that can help our kids achieve these things. Spending time with your child is a major one; others include letting your child make decisions and prioritizing kindness.   Jessica Rolph welcomes Esther Wojcicki to today's episode to talk about raising successful children, her area of expertise. Her daughters, Susan, Janet, and Anne, are some of the most powerful women in Silicon Valley. They are respectively, the CEO of YouTube, a professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, and the Founder and CEO of the genetic testing company 23andMe. Esther, also known as the Godmother of Silicon Valley, is the author of How to Raise Successful People: Simple Lessons for Radical Results.   Key Takeaways: [2:17] Did Esther set out to raise CEOs? [3:24] Esther explains the acronym TRICK: Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Kindness. [5:19] What does trust look like in our modern-day society? [8:00] Perhaps we shouldn't be so worried all the time. [8:50] Esther explains why allowing babies to self-soothe can be a demonstration of trust. [12:02] How can parents of toddlers show respect? Just listen! [14:15] Don't do anything for your children that they can do for themselves. [15:12] Esther speaks about collaboration in the home. [17:30] The profound impact of kindness.   Mentioned in this episode: Brought to you by Lovevery.com Visit Raise Successful People 

Guest: Sucheta Kamath - As SLP's, we tend to focus on our specific area of expertise; language or speech production or cognition, for example. However, our guest on the show today, the wonderful Sucheta Kamath, believes that this lack of a big picture perspective is problematic and that there is a better way to do things. Sucheta has focused her career on the functioning of the brain as a whole, and the intersection between brain functioning, psychology, sociology, and education. After listening to this episode, you'll have a better understanding of executive functioning, metacognition, and the variety of factors that impact these. Sucheta shares the strategies that she utilizes to help children master executive functioning, how to determine whether a child has executive dysfunctions, as well as a few stories which highlight what can go wrong when our executive function isn't operating at its full capacity.

A private school in Miami is requiring its students who get to COVID vaccine to quarantine for 30 days in case they "shed." The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Children's Hospital association have declared a national emergency for children's mental health, stating that mental health challenges experienced by youth were made worse by the pandemic. As supply chain issues continue across the US, people have taken to hoarding food.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leading child health care groups -- including the American Academy of Pediatrics -- said Tuesday the pandemic has triggered a "national state of emergency" in mental health among U.S. youth, and policy makers need to act. The Education Department issued new guidance for how to address the crisis in K-12 schools and bolster mental health. Secretary Miguel Cardona joins Amna Nawaz with the details.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the United States, affecting almost 10 percent of all children. Sometimes referred to as "fatty liver disease," it is actually a range of diseases that all begin when excess fat gets deposited in the liver, most significantly impacting our obese patients. In today's episode we are joined by guest Shikha Sundaram, MD to discuss the clinical presentation and treatment of NAFLD, including how primary care providers can provide critical support to families making significant lifestyle changes as part of their treatment.

Does your diet allow you to go to happy hour?! What about enjoying your kid's birthday party? Or weekend getaways with friends?   Today we are on a search for science and sustainability in popular diet trends.    A lot of the time, food is more than just fuel, it is a way to connect with friends, family, and yourself! It's important to take these things into consideration when establishing your own relationship with food.  In this episode I am covering a framework that you can use to evaluate whatever diet it is that's trending to decide if it's something you actually want to do. I break down keto, intermittent fasting, detox and cleanses, and the vegan diet to see where they all fall on the sustainability spectrum. I also go over what actually happens to the body when we fall into yoyo dieting and how it may be more harmful to our health than carrying a few extra pounds.   Lots of science and fun nutrition facts coming your way!  For more in intermittent fasting be sure to check out this episode!  References: (1) Golden, N.

Join us as we discuss whether your skin rash could be a sign of lymphoma. Have you ever experienced a skin rash being a sign of something else? Tell me about it in the comments! In this episode: Can a rash start off as one thing, but become something else? How can you tell whether a rash might be an indication of something else? Why swollen lymph nodes should be assess by your doctor What is a lipoma? Could chronic hives be a sign of cancer? Quotes “Lipomas are really, really common. They're basically little fatty lumps. They're just a little bit of extra fat tissue, it's usually just under the skin.” [16:39] “There are also a whole bunch of signs that are called paraneoplastic signs. These are things that are associated with cancer.

Pediatricians are faced with many challenges when it comes to educating families about food and nutrition. They have high patient loads and limited time during visits which are often packed with a multitude of questions and concerns from parents and families. In addition, there may be limited options for referring patients to dietitians – especially in rural communities - and some patients aren't interested in visiting with a dietitian or have limited resources such as time and insurance coverage. Tune in to this episode with guest Dr. Nicole Keller, a pediatrician married to a farmer, to learn about: what pediatricians are taught about nutrition during medical school what Nicole learned about food and farming when she met her husband, a 5th generation family farmer questions and concerns about food, nutrition and farming that Nicole gets from her patients where Nicole gets information about nutrition to share with her patients what information and resources the American Academy of Pediatrics provides members how pediatricians and dietitians can work together why messages matter when educating families about nutrition what doctors want dietitians to know about their work common misperceptions about food and farming what farmers want dietitians and the public to know about the business and practice of farming Full shownotes and resources at: www.SoundBitesRD.com/193

— The long-awaited reunion of science and spirit has arrived at last. Any reasonable review of the scientific literature of the 21st century firmly establishes the existence of life after death. So why isn't this common knowledge? Simply because the current science v spirituality debate reflects the science of the 19th century debating the spirituality of the 18th century. Recent advances in end-of-life research, neuroscience, physics, an understanding of spiritual neuroanatomy and experimental research done at diverse locations including Seattle Children's Hospital and the National Warfare Institute clearly provide irrefutable evidence for the existence of life after death. It is said that dramatic claims demand dramatic evidence. That evidence currently exists.   Dr. Melvin L Morse is a pediatrician who did the first “gold standard” research documenting that, children as they are dying see an entity they call God and feel that they are leaving their physical bodies. As one young girl told me reassuringly, “you'll see Dr. Morse, heaven is fun!” I published this research in the AMA Pediatric journals. We convincingly documented that the near death experience is real, and not the result of a lack of oxygen to the brain or a by-product of the many medications given dying children. Valeria Teles interviews Dr. Melvin L. Morse — the author of “Where God Lives: The Science of the Paranormal and How Our Brains are Linked to the Universe.” Melvin L Morse, MD, is an acclaimed Pediatrician, voted one of America's Best Doctors, and author of books on near death experiences and the spirituality of death and dying. He was described by NBC News as doing more than any other scientist to prove the existence of life after death. He was an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington for 20 years. His international best seller Closer to the Light describes the near-death experiences of children. This was based on his studies at Seattle Children's Hospital under the supervision of the University of Washington's Human Subject Review Board. To learn more about Dr. Melvin L. Morse and his work, please visit: melvinmorsemd.com and melvinmorse.net     — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.
