"Smart Health” to Feature Brown Alpert Medical School Expert Goldstein on Healthy Eating

Brown Warren Alpert Medical School weight-loss expert Dr. Carly Goldstein will join Smart Health on GoLocal LIVE on Wednesday at 4 P.M. to talk about the latest in digital tools to help with weight-loss — as well as how to eat your favorite Rhode Island foods as part of a healthy diet. 

From calamari, stuffies, and lobster rolls — to ending a meal with chocolate cake — Goldstein will discuss how to eat local summer fare with an eye on weight management, as well as the role that digital tools can play in weight loss and overall lifestyle. 

Goldstein, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and the Weight Control & Diabetes Research Center of The Miriam Hospital.

Since granting its first Doctor of Medicine degrees in 1975, the Warren Alpert Medical School has become a national leader in medical education and biomedical research. By attracting first-class physicians and researchers to Rhode Island over the past four decades, the Medical School and its seven affiliated teaching hospitals have radically improved the state's health care environment, from health care policy to patient care.

Research in Focus

Goldstein received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Kent State University in 2015.

Her research is focused on developing and improving mHealth interventions and prevention programs for obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes utilizing novel technology. 

Much of her work involves adapting existing weight loss programs to clinical settings serving medically-complex patients including cardiac rehabilitation and primary care. She is also interested in adequate self-management such as medication adherence and cognitive impairment, and novel research methodology such as the Multiphase Optimization Strategy and dissemination and implementation science.

This spring, the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University and GoLocalProv.com teamed up to launch “Smart Health,” a GoLocal LIVE segment featuring experts from the medical school focusing on the latest in health and research impacting Rhode Island — and the worldwide community.
