28 min - #122 - Modeling Health for Your Child: A Journey Through Nutrition with Dr. Sheila Carroll
Welcome to an enlightening episode of our podcast, where we embark on a transformative journey through the realm of health and nutrition. Join us as we sit down with Dr. Sheila Carroll, a distinguished expert in the field, to explore the art of modeling better health practices and the profound impact it can have on your children's lives.
About Dr. Sheila Carroll (In her words)
In 20 years of clinical medicine, I took care of a lot of very sick children. But to an even greater extent, I saw kids with lifestyle-induced problems. Poor sleep, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy weight, and frequently a lot of depression and anxiety were keeping these kids from living in their best health.
A child cannot be expected to change their lifestyle habits by themselves. Children need their parent's and caregiver's help. And parents need help figuring out first, exactly what to do and then, how to actually do it.This is what I help parents do. I help parents know exactly what to do to improve their child's health and I teach them the tools and skills they need to fully support their child and themselves along their journeys to better health.As a Pediatrician and Obesity medicine physician as well as a Certified Life and Weight Coach, I help children by empowering their parents to be the parents they truly want to be.Learn more from Dr. Sheila at:https://www.sheilacarrollmd.com/

About Kim Peacock (In her words)
When tragedy struck our family right after Christmas in 1998, it was a loss so deep I believed I would not survive. We witnessed the accident that took our daughter Nicole's earthly life. That event rocked the very foundation of my beliefs and my world. I had to find a way to grieve and still live life fully. After struggling in grief -feeling isolated and hopeless - I found hope and healing. I came to realize that grief and joy can co-exist. I became determined to find purpose in my pain and help others who were struggling with the deep sorrow of losing a loved one.
My book "Victorious Heart: Finding Hope and Healing after a Devastating Loss" provides useful advice, guidance, and support for those in the midst of grieving.Learn more from Kim: http://wildvictoriousheart.com

About Aaron Shelley (in his words)
It always seemed like my friends and I were primed for success. I grew up in a suburban neighborhood and there were about ten boys around that became my friends. We went to the same church. We went to the same schools. We were all in the same scout troop. We played sports in the street almost every day. We regularly played video games and board games together. Our families all had about the same amount of money. We all had two parents in the home. We were all living the American middle-class lifestyle.
After high school, we all went our separate ways, and that is when things started to go off the rails.Two years after high school, the parents of my best friend John got divorced. I had spent hours playing at their home, jumping on their trampoline, watching TV, and now with three kids still at home, they divorced. A few years later, another friend’s parents got divorced. I had played board games at their house almost every week growing up.So much for happily ever after.Learn more from Aaron at: https://thefamilyflywheel.com/bookresources
