The topic of concern that is currently growing in both the United States and around the world is the issue of childhood obesity. According to the CDC growth charts, the number of children and adolescents affected in the US is about 15 million, with the prevalence reaching nearly 20% between the years 2017 and 2020. This is characterized by having a BMI that is at or above the 95th percentile. In order to delve deeper into this issue, we are pleased to have Seema Kumar, M.D., a pediatric endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic, and Todd A. Kellogg, M.D., a metabolic and bariatric surgeon, joining us today.

Healthy Start: Nutrition in Early Childhood
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Angela C. Mattke, M.D.
The early years of a child are extremely important for establishing growth, maturation, and development. Good nutrition is felt to be an important component for these benefits to take place. Yet, there’s evidence that a substantial proportion of our children are not receiving the nutrition they should. Inadequate nutrition can lead to issues not only in later childhood but chronic health problems in adulthood as well. The topic for this podcast is “Nutrition in Early Childhood”. We’ll be discussing such issues as: What are the most common nutritional deficiencies our young children face? What are the potential long-term complications of inadequate nutrition in early childhood and what’s the solution to improving nutrition? My guest is Angela C. Mattke, M.D., a pediatrician from the Division of Community Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.

What You Need to Know About Eustachian Tubes and Tonsils
Tuesday May 11, 2021
Tuesday May 11, 2021
Guest: Laura J. Orvidas, M.D.
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD)
Tonsils and eustachian tubes often get taken for granted until they cause problems. Eustachian tube dysfunction is quite common and usually resolves on its own, however some patients will develop recurrent eustachian tube dysfunction and it can result in recurrent episodes of otitis media, especially in children. Although recurrent tonsillitis used to be the most common indication for tonsillectomy, more children are having this procedure for disordered breathing conditions, such as obstructive sleep apnea. In this episode, we’ll discuss disorders of the eustachian tube and tonsils with Laura J. Orvidas, M.D., an otolaryngologist at the Mayo Clinic.
Specific topics discussed:
- Purpose of the eustachian tube
- Definition of eustachian tube dysfunction
- Physical exam findings of eustachian tube dysfunction
- Recurrent eustachian tube dysfunction in children and potential for recurrent episodes of otitis media
- When pressure equalization tubes are indicated
- Relationship between pharyngitis and tonsillitis
- Viral versus bacterial causes of tonsillitis
- How to suspect a peritonsillar abscess
- Indications for tonsillectomy
- Management of tonsil stones

Host: Halena M. Gazelka, M.D. (@hmgazelkamd)
If you're fully vaccinated for COVID-19 you can travel domestically and where travel is allowed internationally, according to new interim travel guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Even with those recommendations the CDC continues to recommend not traveling unless it is essential. Regardless, the CDC strongly recommends people continue to wear a face mask, practice social distancing and sanitize their hands.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 vaccine research is continuing in teenagers. "The early data show equal safety in young people aged 12 to 16," says Dr. Gregory Poland, an infectious diseases expert and head of Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group. "I think this is going to imply that, somewhere between this fall and Christmas, we're going to be able to offer the (COVID-19) vaccine to every age group."
In this Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Poland answers a number of listener questions, including how long the COVID-19 vaccines are predicted to last and if the current transmission research still supports wiping down household items. Dr. Poland also explains why someone who has had COVID-19 should still get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Tuesday Dec 11, 2018
Guest: Arne H. Graff, M.D. (@arne_graff)
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD)
Child abuse is a serious problem, both within the U.S. and around the world. In 2012, Child Protective Services agencies estimated that approximately 9 out of 1000 children in the U.S. were victims of child maltreatment and this was felt to underestimate the true scope of the problem. A recent study by the CDC estimated that one in four children experience some form of maltreatment in their lifetimes. Today we’re joined by Dr. Arne Graff, a family physician and Division Chair of Child Abuse and Pediatrics, practicing at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
