knownwell teens was born from personal experience and a desire to do better. When our founder, Brooke Boyarsky Pratt, was just ten, a doctor suggested—within earshot—that she be sent to “fat camp.” Instead of support, she felt shame. She’s not alone.
That moment sparked a lifelong commitment to change how we care for young people with obesity. Co-founded by Brooke and Dr. Angela Fitch, a leader in weight-inclusive care, knownwell teens offers expert, insurance-covered healthcare that’s grounded in empathy, evidence, and respect.
