Listen Later

This episode is for you if you're a parent, teacher, or health professional concerned about teens struggling with anxiety, acne, allergies, sleep issues, focus problems, or chronic inflammation.

In 2005, the New England Journal of Medicine made a shocking prediction: our children might have shorter lifespans than us. Fast forward to 2025—nearly 1 in 2 kids now has a chronic condition. But it’s not too late to change course.

In today’s powerful episode, we’re joined by teen siblings Abdullah, Zain, Emaad, and Qasim Ansari — hosts of The Holistic Kids’ Show and co-authors of the NEW book “The Teen Health Revolution” — who share their personal journey to eating healthier and turning the tide on chronic conditions, mental health, and lifestyle struggles in teens.

What You’ll Learn:

  • ✅Why ultra-processed foods are making kids sick (and how to break free)
    ✅How real, colorful foods support the body, brain, skin, and mood

    ✅Why changing teen eating habits takes time — and patience
    The harmful side effects of social media on teen well-being

    ✅The role of nature, mindfulness, and gratitude in mental health
    ✅How habit stacking makes healthy routines stick
