Alicia M. Grunseit is a Pediatrician based in Westmead, NSW, Australia. She looks after children and supports parents and carers with health concerns that can be tough to navigate day to day.
In particular, her clinic focuses on obesity, including obesity in children. This can be a sensitive topic, so the approach is usually practical and calm. Many families come in wanting clear answers, not more stress. At times, it helps to talk through what’s been happening at home, what’s going on at school, and how routines like food, sleep, and activity fit together.
For kids, obesity isn’t just about weight. It can affect energy levels, breathing, mood, and confidence. Alicia works with families to understand the bigger picture, spot any health issues that may be linked, and set goals that feel realistic. Plans often focus on steady changes rather than quick fixes, because that’s what tends to work over time.
If a child is struggling, or if weight has been trending the wrong way for a while, a paediatrician can help sort out what’s normal growth and what needs extra attention. That can include checking things like general health, tracking growth, and talking about habits in a way that feels doable. Families may also want guidance on how to keep mealtimes less stressful and how to build more movement into everyday life.
Alicia’s work as a paediatrician is built around looking after kids’ health first. She also understands that families need support, not judgement. The goal is to help children feel more comfortable in their bodies and to help parents get a plan they can stick with, even when life gets busy.
Location matters for care, and being in Westmead makes it easier for local families to access a paediatrician for concerns around childhood obesity.
