GLP-1 medications for teens: Balancing weight loss and metabolic health

We're joined by Karla Lester, a pediatrician and certified life and weight coach. Together, we explore the journey of Lizzie and her mother, Jackie, as they navigate the complexities of health, weight, and familial dynamics. From Lizzie's insulin resistance to Jackie's journey towards a holistic understanding of metabolic health, we uncover the challenges and triumphs of their experience.

Karla Lester is a pediatrician, certified life and weight coach, and diplomate, American Board of Obesity Medicine.

She discusses the KevinMD article, "GLP-1 medications like Wegovy are effective metabolic health tools for teens with insulin resistance."
