We’re excited to welcome Nadia Abraham, a board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine physician, to our team. With more than 20 years of experience caring for children and families, she brings a thoughtful, science-based approach to pediatric weight management.

Dr. Abraham cares for children and adolescents through age 18, recognizing that every child is growing and developing in their own unique way. Her approach to pediatric weight management is about more than counting calories or telling children to eat less and move more. Her own experience with weight management growing up has also shaped the way she cares for patients. She understands that lasting change isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan—it’s finding what works for each child and their family.

Dr. Abraham balances work and home life with her husband, a busy orthopedic surgeon, and their three children. Their household also includes an energetic crew of dogs, chickens, fish, and bees. She enjoys gardening, knitting, playing tennis, and caring for her plants and animals.

Welcome to the team, Dr. Abraham!

Did you know that September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month? 🏃‍♂️🥦

According to data tracked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 in 5 children in the United States lives with obesity. This is a complex, chronic health issue. Building supportive environments and healthy routines early on is essential to set our kids up for a lifetime of wellness.

We ALL play a part in supporting the health of the children in our lives. Here are a few small, impactful changes families and communities can make together:

*** Move More: Aim for at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity through active play, sports, or family walks.

*** Eat the Rainbow: Focus meals around whole foods, vibrant fruits, and vegetables while limiting highly processed snacks.

*** Hydrate with Water: Swap out sugary sodas and juices for water as the primary beverage choice.

*** Unplug and Recharge: Set healthy boundaries around screen time to encourage outdoor play, reading, or creative hobbies.

*** Prioritize Sleep: Ensure kids get plenty of rest, which supports mental clarity, metabolic health, and school performance.
