On this episode of the STL Medical Weight Loss Radio Show, Dr. Joseph Moleski discusses the increasing problem of obesity in children. He links this issue to higher consumption of processed foods and a lack of physical activity. Dr. Joe expresses concern that unhealthy eating habits are causing serious health problems in young children, and predicts that 60% of 4 to 6-year-olds could be taking prescription medications by 2023. He talks about a weight loss medication called semaglutide, which could help treat various diseases and reduce cravings. He also talks about the "two-hit hypothesis," which suggests that genetics and poor nutrition together can lead to early onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Joe recommends early intervention and lifestyle changes to avoid depending on medication for life.
"These kids are being poisoned by high amounts of sugar, and it just makes me sad. That's why I'm on this mission to tackle weight loss early on in your life."
