Founder of Weigh2Rock Dr Bob Pretlow Helps Overweight Kids

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Dr Bob Pretlow explains why his website Weigh2Rock has been the best resource for overweight kids for over 11 years. Bob discovered that helping an overweight child requires the same approach that helping an addict requires. Kids are suing food as a substitute for stress, depression and boredom. The kids seem to intellectually understand that eating healthy and exercising is the way to go but they are addicted to making poor choices – and that’s why you have to treat them like you would a substance abuser to get them on a healthier path. This guy has seen all the research and has seen firsthand from the thousands of kids who frequent his website why kids are over weight and what can be done to stop this child obesity epidemic. His new book Overweight: What Kids Say is a must read if you have an overweight child in your life. Learn more at www.weigh2rock.com

How to Give Your Kids the Drugs Talk

How to Give Your Kids the Drugs Talk

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to give your kids the drug talk. The key to giving your kid any of the big “talks” – the “drug” talk, the “sex” talk and the “Grandpa’s not going to be joining us for Christmas ever again” talk is to not make it one big talk. Make it a series of little talks that happen throughout their lives. Whenever you see something on the news, or on TV or in your kids life that is an example of the dangers of drugs – that is your cue to have a little brief talk about the dangers of drugs. Use the example that is in front of you as the topic for your talk. And encourage your kid to discuss the event as a natural conversation rather than a big momentous “talk.” And get over yourself – if you think you are being a hypocrite regarding your own drug use.
