Intensive Health Behavior & Lifestyle Treatment (IHBLT)

Looking for inspiring stories and practical solutions for your family? Enroll now to find out how plant-based eating can address pediatric weight concerns while also simplifying your grocery list and meal preparation.

🌱Watchful waiting is no longer recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. IHBLT can be a powerful tool in the fight against childhood obesity.  This eCourse shows how the plant-strong eating pattern can improve your child's weight status and promote their long term health. 

Discover how plant-based eating can boost a child's ability to self-regulate their intake despite social and emotional pressures.  The focus is on supporting a child in making healthier food choices, rather than a number on the scale.

The AAP has also recommended anti-obesity medicine and bariatric surgery for childhood obesity. Suddenly eating more plants does not seem so extreme!  The only side effect of plant-based eating is that your child will care more about factory farmed animals. 🐮 🐷🐥

Instructor Bio

Leigh Ettinger, MD, MS, FAAP, ABOM

www.DoctorHerbivore.com

Even though Dr. Leigh Ettinger has been a pediatric kidney specialist since 2004 he did not learn about whole food, plant-based nutrition until 2014. Changes in his own eating yielded great results! He started to share the scientific evidence of the health benefits of the plant-based diet with his patients, community groups, nurses, and other doctors. He earned the eCornell Certificate in Plant-based Nutrition in 2016. In 2017 he joined the staff of his hospital’s pediatric weight management program with the goal of addressing the pediatric obesity epidemic with the plant-based diet. In 2019 he became a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. In 2021 he founded the Doctor Herbivore telehealth practice, which offers personalized plant-based guidance for families throughout New York and New Jersey as well as eCourses for others. Dr. Ettinger enjoys helping families successfully change course to a plant-strong path for their health, for the animals, for social justice, and for the environment.
