Hungry for Solutions: A Mother's Quest to Defeat Hypothalamic and Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is an epidemic in America today. In this fast-paced consumerist society, people are bombarded daily with good options that are overprocessed and addictive and barely resemble the foods that humans were meant to eat. As a registered dietician nutritionist, Marci Serota has strong opinions about the good available to our youth today, as well as the expertise to circumvent these obstacles when it comes to raising her own children. But nothing could have prepared her for a diagnosis of hypothalamic obesity in her young son---a condition that causes constant hunger and severe obesity and that does not respond to diet or exercises...until now. With immense strength, love, and sacrifice, Marci stood by her son as they both struggled to get him to his now healthy weight. In Hungry for Solutions: A Mother's Quest to Defeat Hypothalamic and Childhood Obesity, Marci provides an instructive and inspiring text full of tips, recipes, and advice for parents around the world struggling with similar diagnoses in their children, for the health-care professionals who care for them, and for anyone trying to promote a healthy lifestyle for their family.
