Dr Gary Leong is a paediatric endocrinologist who specialises in treatment of children suffering with obesity and diabetes and its complications. A humane and very real person — not just a medical doctor and Ph D — Gary loves working with kids and their families to help them work towards and enjoy healthier, happier lives.
This book outlines a potentially life-changing program that Dr Gary Leong has developed called the Ride to Life Program. It encourages you to courageously and honestly confront the underlying reasons for the obesity affecting your child. But it is also about parents and children taking appropriate levels of personal responsibility and then taking action to make sustainable, manageable change for a better, healthier, active and more purposeful life. This book attempts to solve the problem about what you can do as a parent when you think you have run out of options for a child suffering from obesity.
Join the Ride to Life Program now and learn to Play, Exercise and Eat more together as a family.
