Brief Intro

Dr. Michele Mietus-Snyder, a preventive cardiologist, is co-director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Clinic at UCSF Children's Hospital and director of the Balance Weight, Energy and Lipids for Life Clinic at Children's Hospital Oakland. She is committed to developing comprehensive weight management programs, targeting high-risk, inner city populations, that emphasize exercise and physical activity with healthy eating rather than caloric restriction. These efforts are aimed at identifying effective preventive health strategies that can be adopted as a lifelong ethic for heart-healthy living. She has research experience in redox gene regulation as well as vascular reactivity as a noninvasive measure of blood vessel function and health. She is interested in the study of genetic and environmental triggers for atherosclerotic risk and in pediatric hyperlipidemias, which often coexist in overweight children. Mietus-Snyder earned her medical degree at the University of California, San Diego. She completed a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Children's Hospital Boston. She came to the University of California, San Francisco in 1992, where she is an assistant professor in Physiological Nursing and Pediatric Medicine.
