Welcome to PACT!
(Parents Actively Changing Trajectories)
A 12-week private coaching program with Dr. Sheila Carroll
Support your child’s health and future by changing what’s happening at home — with expert guidance, real solutions, and zero shame.

Is your child or teen struggling with unwanted weight, emotional eating, or feeling stuck in their body?Â
And are you…
• Worried they’re eating too much or the wrong things — but scared to bring it up in a way that might do harm?
• Exhausted from the daily food battles, emotional meltdowns, or cycles of “trying something new” only to see it fizzle out?
• Watching them grow more self-conscious, withdrawn, or unhappy — and feeling helpless to change it?
• Carrying guilt, fear, or frustration because you know something needs to change... you just don’t know how?
You are not alone. Â
And it is not your fault.
And there is something you can do.

It's Not You. Â It's Not Your Child.
Â
We’re all living in an obesogenic environment that promotes weight gain and undermines our health at every turn.
An environment full of ultra-processed foods, lots of sitting, screens, poor sleep, chronic stress, pollution, plastics and confusing messages about “health.”
This is not your fault. And it’s not your child’s fault.
The problem isn’t them — it’s the current world they’re growing up in.
But when you change what you can - your home environment — with intention, structure, and love — everything can change.
What Does Not Work
Â
-
Giving up your favorite foods
-
 Skipping mealsÂ
-
“Eat less, move more” with no attention to food quality
-
Calorie-restricted diets
-
“30 Days to a New You!”
- Joining a gym
-
Telling the child to change on their own
-
Relying on willpower Â
- Shame, blame and fear
Â
Â
Â
Â
What Does Work
- Understanding how the body stores and releases weight — it’s hormones
- Choosing foods that taste great, are satiating, and keep insulin low
- Eating when hungry, stopping at enough
- Getting good sleep (yes, it matters!)
- Stop emotional eating
- Changing together as a family
- Shaping the child’s environment for success

Why Work With Me?
I’m Sheila Carroll, MD — a double board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine physician, certified life and weight coach, and a mom.
I’ve spent over 20 years helping families — and I’ve lived- this journey myself.
As a child, I struggled with my weight and the shame and helplessness that came with it.  As a busy working mom, I relied on processed food and quick fixes.
I didn't feel good.  It wasn’t working — for me or my son.  We needed a new direction.
So I got coaching, made simple, sustainable changes — and we both got healthier together.
Now I’ve created PACT — the program I wish my parents had had that would have changed the trajectory of my weight as a child and teen.

Why Does PACT Matter?
Because your child’s health shapes their experience of their childhood — their energy, confidence, mood, focus, friendships, and future.  Everything.
Because they only get one childhood.
Because it should be free from the stress of weight and health concerns.
Our kids and teens deserve the chance to grow into who they decide they want to be — without their health holding them back.
You have a limited window of time — right now — to lead them.
To influence how they think about food, health, and themselves.
To guide them toward confidence, resilience, and wellbeing.
This is your chance.
It is very doable.
And it’s not too late.
Your Child is Already 100% Worthy
đź’› Â Your child is not a problem to be fixed.
They are whole, worthy, and lovable just as they are.
And when you strongly hold that vision for them — they will see themselves the same way. ❤️
Real change starts with that belief.
We guide and lead with love. đź’›

Your Investment
Your Investment: Â $1497
(Pay in full or 3 monthly payments of $525)
This is an investment in your child’s future.
In their mental and physical wellbeing.
In your relationship with them.
And in your peace of mind — knowing you're taking actions to transform their health.
I want every child and teen to be free of weight and health concerns,
so they can ask themselves this question:
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
— Mary Oliver
