Pediatric Weight Management
Healthy Weight. Healthy Habits. Healthy Future.
Weight can be a sensitive subject.
My approach is focused on health, not shame.
Every child deserves a plan that takes into account their growth, development, nutrition, activity, sleep, family history, medical conditions, and individual needs.
A Personalized Approach
We may discuss:
Nutrition
Physical activity
Sleep
Screen time
Growth patterns
Family history
Medical conditions
Behavioral and lifestyle factors
Medication when medically appropriate
Medication May Be Part of the Conversation
For some adolescents, medication may be an appropriate part of treatment.
When medically appropriate, Dr. Peek can discuss available options, including GLP-1 medications and oral medications.
Medication is only one component of a comprehensive treatment plan.
