This project is a 4 episode podcast on what the healthcare system and society can do to help reduce stigma and help prevent childhood obesity as well as be an educational tool for parents on what childhood obesity is. The first episode, also known as my introduction episode, ended up being about 15 minutes in length. This is where I introduced the idea of childhood obesity and what the Inspire program is. This episode is where a lot of my literature review information came into play. Next, I interviewed Dr. Ron Tuckman who is a pediatric primary care physician and the Director of the Inspire Program at Northern Arizona Healthcare. This Episode is about 25 minutes in length and provides a lot of information on what obesity is, what causes it, how we can prevent it, and can we make kids feel safer in the healthcare so they will want to get treated. For the next episode, I interviewed nurse practitioner Sherry Walka and she is the primary nurse practitioner for the Inspire program. This episode was about 30 minutes in length and She really took us into a bigger look into what the inspire program is and how they go about diagnosing and treating childhood obesity. Then to tie it all off I have a summary episode which ended up being about 5 minutes in length. This episode discusses the similarities and differences between the two interviews and what the healthcare system and society can do to help childhood obesity.
