Ever notice how your mindset shapes your day?

Kids thrive when health is nurtured with compassion, not pressure! Supporting your child means focusing on health over weight, celebrating small victories, and encouraging balanced habits together.

When we lead with care and kindness, we help children build confidence and trust in their own journey.

We’ve all heard food “rules” passed down through generations, but not all of them support kids’ health.

This Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, we’re sharing some of the most common myths about kids and eating and the facts that can help you nurture balance, self-trust, and a healthy relationship with food.

Small, thoughtful changes today can make a lasting difference tomorrow!

Thank you to the Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce for highlighting Dr. Golden's work on obesity nationally. We are proud of the work we do and love this community!

🌟 Spotlight on Success: Dr. Leslie Golden 🌟

Watertown is home to a national leader in obesity medicine!
Dr. Leslie Golden, MD, MPH, FOMA — founder and CEO of Weight In Gold Wellness — is helping shape the future of obesity care across the country.

Recently honored as a Fellow of the Obesity Medicine Association and recipient of the prestigious Vernon Astler Award, Dr. Golden also serves on the OMA Board of Trustees and leads the Wisconsin Obesity Society.

Her latest work contributed to the newly published OMA statement, “Guiding Principles for Online Pharmacologic Management of Obesity,” which sets national standards to ensure patients receive safe, comprehensive, evidence-based care — not just quick prescriptions.

💡 Why This Matters Locally
Obesity affects nearly two out of three adults in Wisconsin. While the media often focuses on new medications, this statement clarifies what high-quality, comprehensive care should look like — and patients in and around Watertown can access that very level of care at Weight In Gold Wellness.

Right here at home, Dr. Golden and her team deliver the same standard of evidence-based treatment she’s helping set nationally — proving that smaller communities can offer top-tier obesity care close to home.

👏 Join us in celebrating Dr. Golden’s leadership and commitment to bringing world-class obesity care to our community!

Children deserve compassion, not criticism, on their health journey! Building confidence through encouragement helps kids feel supported and empowered for the long term.

When families and providers work together, lasting health becomes possible, one step at a time.

A number on the scale can’t define a child’s health. What matters most is how they feel, how they grow, and the confidence they carry with them!

This Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, let’s remember: health is about strength, energy, and joy in daily life.
