community programs

, and ones in progress.
*She discusses

prenatal care

, and what to do to nurture infants who need full fat diets in the first 2 years of life, but less than that afterwards.
*She emphasizes the importance of

breakfast

(adults who eat 2000 calories at breakfast are more likely to be normal weight than those who eat the same 2000 calories at dinner)…this is food timing, and it works.
*She touches on

hormones

, including melatonin, which is related to obesity and satiety in adults.
