In this podcast,  we will explore more the reasons behind summer weight gain in teens, its impact on their health, and practical strategies for parents to help their children maintain a healthy lifestyle year-round. This is a review study  that I present here  "The State of the Summer, A Review of Child Summer Weight Gain and Efforts to Prevent It," published in Current Obesity Reports in 2018.  Dr Gourgari is a pediatric endocrinologist, certified in obesity medicine expert and weight loss coach for teens with more than 15 years of experience.
