Listen Later

Teens often hear what to eat, but you rarely are taught the nuances of how to make your own smart choices. (at least not in a way that's healthy, realistic and reasonable). In this episode, we break down nutrition labels in a no-pressure, non-diety way—so you can stop guessing and start fueling yourself with confidence.

You’ll learn:

  • What food labels actually tell you (and what’s just marketing fluff)
  • The 3 things to check before choosing a snack or meal
  • What NOT to stress over (hint: calories aren’t the enemy)
  • A simple mindset shift to stop the guilt and start feeling good about food
  • Whether you're a confused teen or a supportive parent, this episode empowers you to read labels effectively, fostering a balanced relationship with food and boosting self-esteem and overall happiness. Tune in for truthful insights into food ingredients and nutrient values, ensuring you nourish your body with knowledge and confidence.

    🎯 Action step included at the end to help you leverage label-reading right away (without getting obsessed).
