The GLP-1 Debate: Eating Disorders vs Childhood Obesity

If you’ve ever been told your child just needs to eat less and move more, I want you to hear this clearly: childhood obesity is often a sign of metabolic disease, not a failure of parenting or character.

In this episode of @FatSciencePodcast , we get into the most misunderstood intersection in pediatric care: obesity, eating disorders, and the damage caused by stigma-driven medicine. You’ll hear why “diet and exercise” won’t fix a dysregulated metabolic system, why weight is a symptom and not the root problem, and why delaying care in kids can cause real harm.

We also talk about the fear around GLP-1 medications, what clinicians get wrong about eating disorders and obesity treatment, why lab work matters more than opinions, and how families can advocate when the system makes access nearly impossible.

This is a conversation for parents who feel blamed, clinicians who want to practice evidence-based medicine, and anyone who’s tired of shame replacing science.
