Childhood obesity is a growing concern, affecting over 1 in 5 children in the U.S. This condition not only impacts physical health but can also take a toll on emotional well-being, self-esteem, and quality of life. If your teen is struggling with their weight, we’re offering an opportunity to participate in a cutting-edge clinical trial for weight loss for teens. This study is designed to explore innovative approaches to help kids and teens achieve healthier futures.
