Lifestyle and Weight Loss For Teens
Struggling to help your teen get to a healthy weight—without crash diets, stress, or shame?
This podcast is for teens who want to feel better in their bodies—and for parents who want to support their kids the right way.
Hosted by Dr. Jenny Gourgari, a pediatric endocrinologist, certified in obesity medicine, and teen weight loss coach with over 15 years of experience, this podcast focuses on balancing puberty hormones, building healthy habits, and understanding the real science behind teen weight and wellness.
Each week, Dr. Gourgari answers real questions like:
🧠 Why do I feel hungry all the time?
🍞 Are carbs bad for teens trying to lose weight?
🎮 Can active video games actually help with fitness?
🍓 Are smoothies helpful—or just sugar bombs?
💤 How does sleep affect my weight?
You’ll learn how puberty hormones impact your mood, metabolism, and energy—and how small changes in your routine can make a big difference.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding the why behind what’s happening in your teen body—or help your child do the same—hit follow and tune in every week.

After helping hundreds of teens struggling with their weight and hormones, I’ve created a whole new path by doing what most programs miss: balance puberty hormones naturally and create habits that actually last.
Here's what makes this different:
✅ No dieting. No calorie counting. No shame.
✅ No more food fights between parents and teens.
✅ No weight obsession—just healthy habits
✅ Real science behind how puberty hormones affect weight
✅ A safe, supportive approach that prevents eating disorders
Because when teens understand their hormones and get the right support, they don’t just lose weight—they gain strength, energy, confidence, and freedom!
