In this episode of the Nutritionista podcast, we explore the vital role nutrition plays during puberty and how it can shape a child’s development into adulthood. Hosted by Megyn Hayes, a women’s health and hormone specialist, this episode offers practical insights for parents, guardians, and caregivers to help their children thrive during these critical years.

Whether your child is navigating growth spurts, hormonal changes, or increased physical activity, this episode provides actionable tips on how to support their health through diet and nutrition. We also dive into managing cravings, the importance of bone and liver health, and how to avoid nutrient deficiencies that can impact their overall wellbeing.

What You’ll Learn:

• The key nutrients required for healthy bone, gut, and liver function during puberty, and how to incorporate them into your child’s diet.
• How cycle syncing can help manage cravings in young girls and support their hormonal balance.
• The role of zinc in reducing body odour, supporting sperm production, and promoting healthy skin in boys.
• The increased nutritional needs of active teens and how to ensure they’re getting the right balance of macro and micronutrients.
