In recent months, the Charting Pediatrics host team has received multiple emails from pediatricians around the globe who are observing increased number of patients struggling with health weight stigma and eating disorders as the pandemic lingers on. The clinical experiences and observations of our colleagues writing in inspired today’s discussion with Jennifer Hagman, MD and Matt Haemer, MD.
