Synopsis

This programme looks at 2 case studies: a boy who was being bullied at school because of is weight has a diet designed by a naturopath, as well as receiving low-key counselling and a homeopathic remedy. A mother talks to a clinical nutritionist about how to encourage her children to develop healthy eating habits. With Dr Winnie Chan, a nutrition expert.
