The Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians cordially invites you to attend a CME presentation titled, “What to Say Healthcare: Addressing Weight and Food in Pediatric Settings.” This is a one-hour live presentation created to help medical providers reduce weight stigma with pediatric patients and their families. Providers can expect to learn about eating disorder prevention, gain tips for positively addressing weight-related concerns with patients and their parents, and leave with an expert-informed toolkit of materials.
Learning Objectives:
- Better understand the prevalence of eating disorders and related outcomes, as well as the important role of healthcare providers in preventing these problems.
- Identify new methods of approaching weight- and food-related concerns they have for pediatric patients; and
- Identify new methods of addressing weight- and food-related concerns that parents have for their children (who are pediatric patients).
Registration:
Attendance is free, but registration is required.

Lisa Radzak
Executive Director of WithAll – a national organization focused on educating adults models –including coaches, parents, pediatricians, and others—on how to support young people to grow up feeling good in their body and with food because this prevents eating disorders from developing in the first place.
Radzak has more than 25 years of experience in public affairs, community relations, and law, and nearly 15 years of experience in non-profit leadership. She is a graduate of Mitchell Hamline School of Law, and a member of the Minnesota Bar.
Radzak is proud to lead WithAll, because she knows from personal experience that eating disorders are not a choice; they are deadly and rarely look like most of us think. She also knows kids are not born with harmful thoughts and actions around food or their body—and it’s our job as adults to keep it this way so they can focus their precious brains and time on things that matter.
