[quote=Anonymous]Early antibiotic use is tied to later weight gain. One pp mentioned gut biome being a connector and I believe it….i feel like maybe starting with a naturopath might be a good intervention for an overweight teen.

I have 2 girls - 14 and 16. Neither are overweight so this maybe isn’t helpful but they were born with different builds for sure. The 14 year old eats much healthier than my 16 yo but is heavier. She’s 5’3 and 115lb and my 16 yo is 5’5 105. The difference I think is that the 16 yo is very small boned and could literally not eat for long stretches and not notice. She talks fast, moves fast, and food just gets in the way of her plans unless she’s eating out with friends. I usually have to make her eat something (she might just eat some crappy snack instead of a meal instead). She has a few friends who are bigger than her and have dealt with weight gain and they are food focused.

There must be some way to disrupt the constant hunger mechanism as I notice that these differences are there with my thinner friends too compared to myself. [/quote]
