I have been sitting on The Secret for so long and I can't hold it in any longer.

My new book, Raising Body Confident Kids, has an official release date, Tuesday, September 1st, 2026.

This book is everything I've wanted to say to parents for the last decade of practicing pediatrics wrapped up in one place.

You want your kids to love their bodies, but you're still trying to love yours and nobody handed you a roadmap for how to do both at the same time.

It's honest about diet culture, body shame, and all the very real, very hard work of breaking a generational cycle.

It's filled with 40 plus activities you can actually do with your kids, not just read about and forget.

And I realize that September 1st feels like a long ways off, but pre-orders literally change what ends up on bookstore shelves.

When you pre-order, you're telling publishers and retailers that books about body confidence matter and belong front and center in stores everywhere.

You're voting with your dollars for a different kind of message to reach families.

So if changing the next generation for anti-diet culture work means something to you, pre-order your copy of Raising Body Confident Kids, a balanced approach to breaking the cycle of body shame and diet culture.
