Dr. Karla is a pediatrician, life and weight coach, mom of three amazing young people, and certified diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine.  The IME Community podcast for parents, teens, and physicians is where self-love is your superpower to chase your goals and dreams.  IME Community is the only podcast where you get expertise, experience and compassion to cancel diet culture and be body positive in a body negative world.

Dr. Karla spends a lot of time on social media platforms, especially TikTok, learning about the harms of diet culture, and also coaching to disrupt weight stigma and bias in healthcare.

Coaching parents to focus on relational health and show up as loving and supportive parents for their teens, especially during the pandemic and a mental health crisis for teens, is Dr. Karla’s passion.

Whether it’s coaching on body image thoughts to think, how to stop weight bullying, how parents can help teens make big life decisions, how self-kindness is the key to your health goals or the harms of medical gaslighting due to weight stigma and bias, Dr. Karla is a fearless activist who has your back.

IME Community podcast guests include experts on community health, parenting, nutrition, childhood resilience, the power of thoughts, eating disorders, and more.
