As many of you know, I went on my first diet when I was 13 years old.
It was Weight Watchers and it shifted how I viewed my body for a decade. I saw it as something weak and that I could control. It would take years of nutritional, mind, and body studies to realize my body was never the enemy I was taught to see it as. I sometimes wonder how things might have been different if I had learned as a kid and teenager how to interact with my body and food from a place of trust.
I eventually would see a nutritionist when I was twenty years old and it was she who told me sometimes you will overeat and sometimes you may undereat but when you zoom out over a month you'll see that your body got the nutrition it needed.
Learning this bodily trust at a younger age might have offered a framework for how to safely land inside of my body rather than constantly leaving it.
In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with The Holistic Kids, four brothers on a mission to educate and empower kids from the inside out, about:
- Their journey to learning more about holistic health
- Discovering the impact of food on their health and wellbeing
- Their revolutionize acronym
- The importance of mindfulness
- How they have navigated technology and social media when everyone around them is using it more and more
- The role of nature, stress management, and play in health

I found it fascinating to hear from four teens about what they're noticing about what it is like to be a teenager these days. So whether you're in the process of supporting a teenager or remember what it was like to be a teen, this episode will give you a peek into what the younger generations are currently navigating.
Hope you enjoy it!
With Compassion and Empathy,
