If we can get the teen years right, everything changes. That’s the foundation I want to lay in this special Teen Health Month episode. We’re often missing this crucial piece of the wellness puzzle. I sat down and pulled together the most common questions I get asked about teen health. Why teens are so moody, what’s actually happening with their hormones, how to support them through irregular periods, sleep challenges, acne, anxiety, and everything in between. This isn’t just a chat about “puberty.” It’s a call for us as parents, caregivers, and cycle supporters to lay down the scaffolding that sets them up for hormone health long after they’ve left the teen years behind. Whether your teen is struggling to sleep, won’t talk to you, or is just starting their cycle journey, this one’s for you. Key Takeaways Teen Hormones Are Still Maturing – Hormones don’t fully regulate until the early twenties, so irregularity and mood swings are totally normal. Moody Teens Are Normal – Hormone changes, poor sleep, stress, and blood sugar shifts all play a part. Daily routines really help. Teens Mirror You With Food – They won’t be told what to eat. You’ve got to lead by example and make fresh food easy to access. Anxiety Is A Signal, Not A Trait – Ongoing anxiety points to overwhelm, low iron, or gut imbalance. It’s not “just who they are.” Cycle Tracking Builds Body Awareness – Marking day one and learning ovulation cues sets teens up to understand their bodies for life. Screens Disrupt Hormones And Sleep – Late-night tech use affects melatonin, cortisol, and mood. Set up a consistent wind-down instead.
