Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine

Episode 26: Healthy Food Choices for You and Your Kids with Dr. Sheila Carroll

Ed Paget Season 1 Episode 26

In an era where fast food restaurants are seemingly on every corner, and adverts for sugary treats bombard kids daily, steering children towards healthier habits can be an uphill battle. 

Parents play a pivotal role in shaping their offspring's dietary choices and habits. Guiding kids towards a healthier lifestyle involves more than just deciding what's on the dinner table - it's about teaching them the value of nutritional balance, developing a healthy relationship with food, and instilling life-long habits beyond meal times. This journey starts at home, with parents serving as primary influencers, role models, and sustainers of these important lifestyle changes.

In today’s episode, my guest Dr. Sheila Carroll, discusses the challenging task parents face in reversing the trend of unhealthy eating habits prevalent in today's society. She discusses the necessity of providing real, unprocessed foods - ensuring children get enough proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates.

Dr. Sheila Carroll is not just your average pediatrician. Aside from board certifications in general pediatrics and obesity medicine, spending more than 20 years enlightening and aiding her patients, she is also a certified weight loss coach. Dr. Carroll's dedication to well-being doesn't end with her practice; it permeates her personal life, marking a shift in her approach to dietary health. 

Joins us to learn why mindful eating is a crucial life skill that parents can pass on to their children.
