Emory University and Children's Healthcare pediatrician Dr. Miriam Vos discusses and signs her new book, The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids.

Join the conversation about health in the Blue Elephant on Tuesday, March 24, at 4:30 p.m.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Is your child overweight? One third of American children are, and their lives will be shorter and not as healthy as yours. Are you worried about your child's health but don't know what to do?

The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids will help you get started. Dr. Miriam Vos, a nationally known pediatric gastroenterologist, has cared for many children facing liver disease, diabetes, and other serious health issues because of obesity. She has seen the healing power of three research-supported changes: reducing sugar, increasing activity, and preparing family meals at home.

In this practical and positive guide for parents, Dr. Vos tells you how to change the habits that many families have slipped into and gives you specific ways to improve your child's health without diets, guilt trips, or power struggles.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Author and physician Miriam Vos wants to help her young patients and all families challenged by overweight or obesity. Instead of lecturing anyone, she personifies compassion and common sense—just what all families struggling with the challenges of obesity need. She currently lives, writes, sees patients, runs, and raises backyard chickens in Atlanta, Georgia. She teaches in the Department of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine, and practices at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
