Neither Feast nor Famine: Weight-Inclusive Approaches to Counseling Youth with Higher BMIs
A joint webinar from the North American Society for Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology (NASPAG) and SAHM. Recorded in October 2025
Session Description: Youth who present for reproductive health care often are at risk for elements of metabolic syndrome and/or have higher BMIs. Providers often struggle with how to best counsel them about lifestyle modification without triggering poor body image or disordered eating behaviors. In this webinar, an adolescent medicine physician and a pediatric endocrinologist team up to present a weight-inclusive clinical approach that encourages beneficial behavioral changes without perpetuating weight stigma or disordered eating.
