The Teen Truth: Why letting your teen sleep in is the best medicine The Word On The Sleep

    • Medicine

Let me just open by saying this episode is SOOO good. 
If you have a teenager at home and feel like you’re white-knuckling through these years with them - listen up!
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Erin Tewinnkel - Erin is a naturopathic doctor focusing on teen health and has a lot to say about how we’re pushing our teens to the brink of exhaustion waaaayyy too early in life. 
We talked about: 
The very real and very massive shifts in brain development teens experience Why do teens NEED to go to bed late and sleep in Tips and tricks to navigate connecting and communicating with your teen Honestly, I was blown away by this conversation - and I’m not even the parent of a teenager. If you are - I hope you find the episode incredibly informative and connect with Dr. Erin from here.
About Dr. Erin, 
I’m on a mission to improve teen wellness and tear down the stigma surrounding what adolescence is really all about. I am here to help families create environments where everyone thrives through this period instead of just trying to survive it.
Part of this is working on educating teens on their ever-changing bodies! We deal with hormonal struggles, acne, painful periods, anxiety, depression, dieting/diet culture, healthy bodies, and healthy brains.
