Struggling to balance your own health goals with teaching your kids to love their bodies? Dr. Whitney Casares sits down with Dr. Krista Gonzalez, a triple-board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist, to discuss if weight-loss medications like Zepbound, Wegovy, and Ozempic fit into a body-positive parenting philosophy.

Together, they tackle:

  • Why these medications are disrupting industries and creating conversations.
  • Addressing the stigma of weight-loss treatments in the context of self-acceptance.
  • Balancing personal health goals with the desire to model body positivity for kids.
  • How societal pressures, parenting stress, and hormones shape our body image.
  • Practical tips for talking about nutrition with your children.
