Ep. 99 Is Keto Diet Safe For Teens?

In this episode you'll learn:

• What the American Academy of Pediatrics actually says about low-carb and ketogenic diets for teens 

• Why keto can work in adults but carries different risks in growing teen bodies 

• The psychological risk no one is talking about 

• Why "what should we add?" is a smarter question than "what should we cut?"

 • The 4 simple changes that improve insulin sensitivity without ever putting a teen on a restrictive diet

By the end, you'll know exactly how to think about this — and what to do instead.

I’m Dr. Jenny Gourgari—pediatric endocrinologist, certified in obesity medicine and a health coach. 
After helping hundreds of teens struggling with their weight and hormones, I’ve created a whole new path by doing what most programs miss: balance puberty hormones naturally and create habits that actually last.

Here's what makes this different:
✅ No dieting. No calorie counting. No shame.
✅ No more food fights between parents and teens.
✅ No weight obsession—just healthy habits
✅ Real science behind how puberty hormones affect weight
✅ A safe, supportive approach that prevents eating disorders

Because when teens understand their hormones and get the right support, they don’t just lose weight—they gain strength, energy, confidence, and freedom!
