Are you or someone you love getting ready for college? In this episode, I sit down with my son, Jaden, as he prepares for his freshman year of college to talk about the healthy habits we're prioritizing for a healthier and happier college experience. We talk about how to simplify nutrition, protect your sleep, stay active, build meaningful friendships, and navigate the challenges of independence without feeling overwhelmed. Plus, I share the lessons I hope every student takes with them before leaving home. Get ready to build the routines that support your health, happiness, and independence.
