Empowering Teens & Parents
Your journey to a positively healthy life.
Book for Speaking Engagements
In functional medicine, we don’t put a bandage on the problem. We look for the root cause. When it comes to stress, more often than not, the root is an event or situation … a trigger … that happens in the external world which causes a negative mental and physical reaction.
Teenagers face an unfathomable amount of stressors, from homework and sports to peer pressure and social media. Bullying is on the rise, as are mental health issues, depression, and suicide.
With all they have to deal with, it’s no wonder they’re struggling. We haven’t exactly equipped them with a toolkit to help them cope with this increased stress and anxiety.
Until now, no more breeding a generation of anxious and insecure teenagers. They need less competition and less pressure, and more support from trusted and caring adults - namely their parents.
