Did you know that high cholesterol is a lifelong, and often inherited, issue? The earlier you know your risks, the earlier you can lower them through a focused, heart-healthy lifestyle. Thank you to Northeast Wisconsin's Women Magazine for helping spread the word.

Why do pediatricians rely on BMI to determine whether a child’s weight is in the healthy range? Angela, our dietician, explains BMI and how parents can work together with their child’s doctor to have a meaningful, positive discussion about a child’s weight.

Hello again, and thank you for joining me for this next section of my blog post on my son and his obesity diagnosis. In my first post I discussed what BMI is and why this particular number is used in conjunction with growth charts to monitor children.

Imagine taking your healthy child to the doctor for a routine checkup and receiving an obesity diagnosis. Our dietician, Angela, was shocked when this happened during her 6 year-old son’s annual visit. The conversation became awkward and confusing when the doctor didn’t know how to talk about the diagnosis. Read Angela’s personal story and resources she found helpful.

For anyone who is new to Dr. Ann’s blog, let me introduce myself. My name is Angela Bilbrey and I am a registered dietitian, an avid runner, a community advocate for healthier schools and most importantly, a mom to two lovely children.
