Episode 1 - No Skinny Experts

Welcome to the Marian Flaxman Network Podcast! On today's episode, Marian introduces herself, and her vision for the podcast. Then she dives into the American Academy of Pediatrics newly released guidelines on childhood obesity, and uses her lived experience, along with her research, to inform her critique and commentary. Future episodes will feature interviews with experts in the fields of public health, food and nutrition, health policy, and business. Today's episode is a solo journey, as Marian explores the importance of bringing human stories into policy development, and explores the murky grey area of hot button issues.
