Are you feeling stuck around your child’s eating, weight, or health? Are food struggles or mixed messages about “doing it right” creating stress in your home? Family in Focus is a podcast for parents navigating family health, especially when concerns about food, body, and emotional well-being start to strain relationships at home. Hosted by Dr. Wendy Schofer, the pediatrician who helps parents lead meaningful change without harm, this podcast approaches family health in a very different way, by prioritizing connection, trust, and emotional health over control or pressure. Family in Focus centers parent-led shifts that actually last. Conversations explore how change can happen without shame, how emotions shape health behaviors, and why protecting the parent-child relationship is essential to supporting children’s well-being. This is a space for parents who want to support their child’s health without sacrificing connection along the way.

Ep 33: Drama-busting: What the Health?

Welcome to Family in Focus with Wendy Schofer, MD, Episode #33.

I help you parent without all the food and body drama.

So let's get drama-busting.

One of the biggest dramas that I had was "knowing" what was healthy and then seeing my family make other choices. And then fearing the health outcomes of their "unhealthy" choices.

No wonder I felt miserable.

In today's episode, I unpack what we know about health and bodies, and challenge you to start considering what we don't really know.

I dive into my definition of health - and how it's powering me and my family every single day (hint: check out the video game health bar - see, my kid did teach me something from video games!).

And when you're ready to start applying this in your own home, check out www.wendyschofermd.com for more information about my coaching programs, as well as the blog at www.wendyschofermd.com/blog.
