Is your teen girl moody because of her hormones? In this episode I interview Dr. Erin TeWinkel ND, a Naturopathic Doctor in Toronto who has focused her career on supporting the health of teens. We talk about the challenges facing the teen brain through puberty and adolescents, and why young females shouldn’t be labeled as “hormonal”. We give parents tools for looking critically at their teen’s emotions, talk about the barriers young women face as they move through puberty, and give take home nutrition examples for how to support your teen through diet to ensure they are thriving in their mood and mental health.
Erin hosts a Facebook group for parents to learn about connecting and raising their teen that can be found here.
Erin’s practice is at the Integrative Health Institute in Toronto. She can be contacted here.
