As a pediatric endocrinologist, I always tell families: the early signs of type 1 diabetes in kids can be easy to miss but being aware of the symptoms and what to look out for is important.

If you are concerned, talk to your pediatrician or call our office for an evaluation.

As a pediatric endocrinologist, I treat so much more than just diabetes.

Yes, I care for children with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes — but I also help kids growing too slowly, starting puberty too early (or too late), struggling with thyroid disease, adrenal disorders, PCOS, bone health issues, and complex hormone conditions that affect how their bodies develop.

Hormones impact growth, metabolism, mood, energy, and development — and when something is off, it can affect a child’s whole world.

My goal? To help kids grow, thrive, and feel confident in their bodies at every stage.

If you’ve ever wondered whether an endocrine issue might be affecting your child, you’re not alone — and you’re not without support. 💙

As a pediatric endocrinologist, I love simple, practical tools for families — and using your child’s hand to estimate portions is one of my favorites

👋 Palm = protein
✊ Fist = veggies
🖐️ Cupped hand = carbs
👍 Thumb = healthy fats

Because their hands grow with them, portions naturally match their body’s needs. Supporting healthy growth doesn’t have to be complicated. 💛

As a pediatric endocrinologist, I’m not just looking at height and weight — I’m checking that growth is steady, consistent, and supported by a balanced diet, good energy levels, and overall health.

Tall and thin can be completely healthy — what matters most is that the child is following their curve and getting the nutrition they need to grow strong. 💙

Mid-parental height is a simple way we estimate a child’s genetic height potential. It’s a guide, not a guarantee

Boys: (Mom’s height + Dad’s height + 5 inches) ÷ 2
Girls: (Mom’s height + Dad’s height − 5 inches) ÷ 2

Remember: nutrition, health, sleep, and puberty timing all matter—and steady growth over time matters more than a single number

Type 2 diabetes in children is one of the most misunderstood diagnoses I see in my practice.

It’s often surrounded by fear, confusion—and far too much blame.

In Episode 13 of the Endo Kids Podcast, we slow the conversation down and talk honestly about what type 2 diabetes really is, why we’re seeing more of it in kids, and how families can approach treatment with support—not shame.

Type 2 diabetes is serious.
But it is manageable and no family should feel alone.

Today we celebrate National Women Physicians Day 💙👩‍⚕️

As a woman physician, I know the dedication, resilience, and heart it takes to care for patients while constantly advocating for better health and better systems. I’m proud to stand alongside so many incredible women physicians who lead with compassion, expertise, and strength—every single day.

Here’s to supporting one another, lifting each other up, and continuing to make a difference for our patients and communities.

As a pediatric endocrinologist, I’m often asked about fruit juice 🍎🧃

Here’s the truth: juice isn’t the same as fruit. One cup of juice can equal multiple servings of fruit, without the fiber that helps slow sugar absorption. That means a quick sugar spike—and often more sugar than kids should get in an entire day.

Are there exceptions? Of course—special occasions happen. But for everyday life, skip the juice. And if you do offer it, try watering it down to reduce the sugar load.

As we close out the last day of 2025, I just want to pause and say thank you. 😍Thank you to the families who trusted me ...

As we close out the last day of 2025, I just want to pause and say thank you. 😍

Thank you to the families who trusted me with their children’s health.
Thank you to the teens who showed up, asked hard questions, and kept going even when it wasn’t easy.
Thank you to the parents who advocated, learned, and partnered with me every step of the way.

This year was filled with growth — not just on charts, but in confidence, understanding, and resilience. I’m deeply grateful to be part of so many journeys involving growth, hormones, weight, thyroid health, and overall wellness.

As we head into 2026, my commitment remains the same:
✨ compassionate care
✨ evidence-based guidance
✨ meeting each child exactly where they are

Wishing you and your families a healthy, hopeful, and joyful New Year. 💛

Wondering if your child can still grow?

One of the key things we look at as pediatric endocrinologists is **growth plates**. If they’re still open, there’s usually more growth ahead. If they’re closed, height growth is mostly done.

A simple X-ray can tell us a lot. Trust your gut and ask if you’re unsure.

💬 Have you ever had your child’s growth checked?

Grateful today for my family, my patients, and the privilege of doing work that I truly love.

Wishing you a joyful and healthy Christmas
