Listen Later

Caroline brings in another guest on this week's episode to help us understand a little more about the teenage brain and the effects of things like vaping on that powerful, though extremely vulnerable brain.  



About Miriam:

Dr. Mandel is a board-certified pediatrician. She did her internship at St Vincent’s Sisters of Charity Hospital in New York and completed her residency at Carolinas’ Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. After Moving to Ohio in January of 2003, she worked in private practice in Lake County and as a pediatric hospitalist at St. John’s Hospital in West Lake. She worked at both locations for nine years.

While working with children and raising two of her own, she came to realize the importance of mindfulness and self-soothing skills that can be nurtured from childhood into late adolescence. Building upon this foundation, her research suggests that young people can develop into more mindful adults while enhancing a sense of self-esteem using simple tools such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and a bit of understanding about habitual behaviors. She is a health and wellness coach for teens and young adults and strives to help eliminate whatever suffering these young people are going through daily. 

Dr. Mandel’s research in this area has spanned more than 13 years, and she has been honored to work with students in elementary schools and grade schools.  Additionally, she has performed education sessions for educators K-12, doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners, and university and graduate students.  This well-rounded applied research over an extensive period has provided Dr. Mandel with a unique perspective on the importance of teaching individuals to live happier, more productive, and less stressful lives.

Combining this research with her knowledge and passion for medicine, she delivers simple, effective information to help transform lives.
