Your host Sarah Hippert explores the parent-child feeding relationship and its consequences for child weight status with guest Dr. Erin Hennessy, New Balance Fellow in Childhood Nutrition at the John Hancock Center for Physical Activity and Nutrition.

We'll also consider the application of Erin’s research for childhood obesity policy interventions that are currently underway in Washington and throughout our nation.

Your host Mona Hdeib discusses the link between changes in eating behavior and patterns of eating due to and during times of stress, as well as how chronic stress may lead to obesity with guest Dr. Susan Roberts, scientist and professor of Nutrition as well as psychiatry at Tufts University, whose new book The “i” Diet looks at using a person’s neurobiology to control weight. She will help us discern through the scientific and popular culture information available on the topic of psychology of stress, through changes in brain chemistry, that lead to changes in how we eat during these times and how these stress-adaptation eating behaviors eventually lead to weight gain if not managed properly.
