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.

🧠 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?
