In this podcast episode, pediatrician and life coach Sheila Carroll discusses helping parents improve their children's health through lifestyle changes rather than focusing on weight loss. She talks about the common health issues seen in children today like obesity, anxiety, and depression, and how things like poor nutrition, lack of sleep and exercise, and excessive technology use contribute. Sheila recommends eliminating sugary drinks, reducing ultra-processed foods, and making simple changes like improving sleep habits. She stresses the importance of parents leading by example and says children cannot successfully make health changes on their own. Sheila also discusses the power of proactive thinking, consciously choosing empowering thoughts and feelings that lead to desired actions and results. She shares the quote "when I argue with reality, I lose but only 100% of the time" and how accepting things we cannot change reduces suffering.
