In today's episode I break down the neuroscience behind why teens are so vulnerable to substance use—and explain what you can actually do about it.

If you're worried about your teen using alcohol, vaping, or marijuana, this episode is for you.

I explain how the adolescent brain's reward system, weak prefrontal cortex, and neuroplasticity create the perfect storm for risky behavior.

But here's the good news: the majority of teens do NOT use substances, and I'm sharing 4 science-backed strategies to help your teen stay in that majority.
