Ever felt like your kids or teens want to do the opposite of what you recommend?
Dr. Mandy Patterson and I are both moms of teens, and we talk today about the perils of parenting and how we work around the resistance. She has some great tips for finding a way âinâ to what your kids care about when it comes to health and behavior.
Since this is a parenting podcast, Iâm guessing most of you have at least somewhat figured out âfertilityâ as it pertains to having babies - but thatâs not all itâs about! Your fertility health really is a marker of your overall health and wellness, and if you can keep your hormones balanced, youâll feel much better overall.
We get dirty on my late-night eating habit (sigh) and some best practices for women, especially in the morning.
Then we dive into how and WHY to help our tween and teen girls care for their own fertility right from the start, and the epidemic of PCOS.

I see a lot on social media about the âmental loadâ that women especially carry.
Meal planning, grocery shopping, cleaning the house, getting kids where they belong on time, making sure they have proper snacks and meals if they wonât be home for dinner, homework, emails from everywhereâŠ
Itâs a LOT.
And a lot of the mental load we home managers carry has to do with FOOD.
We gotta keep that family nourished!
Iâm pleased to share a bit of advice on one time-tested way to reduce your own mental load â by sharing it.
In my own home, I admit that the mental load still falls mainly on me, but since Iâm doing less of the physical work, it all feels lighter. Eventually, I think others in the family will think, âWhat IS for dinner tomorrow? Did someone plan dinner?â but Iâm still working on that part.
The secret to sharing it is good training, and in this episode, Iâll teach you how to pass on some cooking skills to the young people in your household so that your load is lighter â and honestly, their load over the long run of life is lighter too, because they wonât have to âfigure it outâ through trial and error once theyâre mired in adulthood.

Way back when my husband and I were new-ish parents, he read a headline that talked about parents being âbone tiredâ at the end of the day.
For years, we referred to that phrase: âWeâre BONE TIRED. Parents are all BONE TIRED.â (Put a little lilt and emphasis on âboneâ and you can hear us in your head now.)
As it turns out, Dr. Evan Hirsch would recommend that we stop with those negative thoughts, because theyâre not going to take us anywhere good. Heâs an international expert on chronic fatigue (and now long haulers), and this was an interview I was HIGHLY looking forward to. I was right!
Prepare to be fascinated by Dr. Hirschâs wisdom on:
The 33 causes of fatigueHow you KNOW you have chronic fatigue (and arenât just bone tired like every other parent out there â and itâs way easier than I expected to figure it out!)Why solving your chronic fatigue may also make you live longerWhy some people become long haulers and others donât (this has fascinated me for a while and I couldnât wait to discuss it!)Dr. Hirschâs process for helping people reverse chronic fatigue (that more or less translates to long haul)How you know if 5 jumping jacks is pushing your body too muchA simple ârecipeâ to raise healthy kids (i.e. what an integrative MD would tell you to do to prevent your kids from getting chronic illnesses and BOOST their real energy â not the sugar-laden kind â to help them live happier lives now)THE most important technique he recommends to everyone, preventative and restorative (and there are only 4 steps to it and zero cost!!!)Iâm going to be thinking about this interview for a long time ⊠canât wait to hear what you think about it.

Warning - sad statistic. :( The 2nd leading cause of death for kids ages 10-24 in America is...suicide.
I'm not okay with this!
Let's talk this Depression Awareness Month about prevention - there are research-based strategies that parents can use to reduce their kids' chances of being depressed. While depression isn't the only risk factor for suicide, it is certainly correlated.
If we can make these practices a part of American culture, we can save American kids!!
Today I'm expanding on these 3 things parents can do to raise depression-proof kids:
Control stress - in yourself and then model and teach your kids to do it for themselvesBoost self-esteem - through genuine purpose-driven work, not empty complimentsIncrease resilience - by letting kids learn to cope with failure and difficultiesThis episode is sponsored by Just Thrive Probiotics!

Note: I mention in this interview to go to episode 38, but things got switched around and it's actually 39. Sorry!
No one has to say school lunches are good or bad, healthy or unhealthy.Thatâs not my point today - although I think school lunches could use some improvement. :)
Today letâs talk about picky eating specifically - could school lunches potentially contribute to or exacerbate picky tendencies for certain kids?
I think so.
Today Iâll explore 10 reasons why school lunch might not be friendly to your picky eater. Some might apply to your family, others might not. Let me know what you think!
If youâre struggling with a child who isnât a very adventurous eater, Iâve got just the invitation for you - please join me in the No More Picky Eating Challenge kicking off October 1st and 2nd, 2024! Itâs a totally free, 5-day challenge with quick video lessons and action steps each day.
Over half of the kids in the challenge try new foods in just 5 days, but thatâs not even the point. The point is to create a less stressful environment at the dinner table, and that happens for 85+% of participants!!

If your child has ever thrown a tantrumâŠ
If youâve ever reacted, letâs say, âimperfectlyâ to that tantrumâŠ
If youâve ever wondered why your toddler or teen is having a meltdown over something seemingly inconsequentialâŠ
My friends, then this interview is a MUST LISTEN.
Ann is an incredible teacher - letâs learn about:
The impact of childhood experiences on adult relationships and parentingHow to protect our kids from being âwoundedâ in childhood and acting that out as adults!Why empathizing with a childâs big emotions is NOT the same thing as letting them get their way (with some super fun examples)How to play detective when your child has a meltdown (and how to soothe them faster than usual!)Why âmental healthâ probably isnât even an accurate term to useHow going outside to throw a ball against the wall might make you a better parentWhat to say to boys who still cry about frustrating events when you feel like theyâre âtoo oldâ for thatHow eating plays into nervous system regulation - and believe me, this one is NOT what I expected but rather almost the opposite!I couldnât stop asking Ann questions, so this episode is a little longer than usual but SO worth it.

What are your feet doing RIGHT NOW? Are you standing on them?
If not...stand up and listen to this!
I learned so much from Juliet Starrett, founder of one of first 50 CrossFit gyms in America who got passionate about kids' mobility when she saw a HUGE problem at her daughter's field day. She launched StandUpKids.org, a nonprofit dedicated to funding standing desks for schoolchildren, and she's nearing 100,000 kids standing up all day!
Think that sounds crazy? Some parents in those schools do too, but you gotta hear why teachers <3 <3 <3 it and parents all come around eventually.
Juliet taught me how to use my standing desk much better than I was already, and we even talked about food and kids and picky eaters (and our general intolerance for short-order cooking).
Whether your kids are in school or at home all day, we challenge you to get them MOVING for their health!

Bet you a million bucks youâve heard people say (or said yourself):
Itâs too complicated to get healthy - everyone says something different!Such and such diet/strategy/exercise worked for so-and-so, why isnât it working for me?I feel like Iâve tried everything and itâs so hard to figure out what works!Maybe, just maybe⊠everyone is different?
Years ago the term âbio-individualityâ began to be a buzzword, and I thought it would be the ânext big thing.â It is, sort of.
It might not be big enough.
But it still should be!
What if your genes could give you a pathway to your OWN optimal health? Not your friendâs success, not the next influencerâs advice, and not even current research?
Using genetics to make a personalized health plan sounds cutting edge, and it is - but itâs also reality.
My guest Brenda Wollenberg and I talk about gene-based holistic wellness programs today, and even more exciting, the promise and hope of epigenetics.
Epigenetics is the theory that through what we do and what happens to us - our environment - we can change our genes, basically toggle certain ones on or off. Your genes are not your destiny!
Listen in to find out how this works and even how you can apply epigenetics and gene personalization to your parenting and keeping kids healthy, even if you never get your kids' genes tested.

I learned today that I still have a lot of internal tendencies from middle school. đź
Middle school can be a foreign land and a tumultuous time, and figuring out how to parent middle schoolers is hard on parents. We want our kids to be happy, resilient, and thriving, not wilting, crying, and worrying.
As we head back to school, stresses are always high, and our kids need us to help them stay balanced and continue growing and developing. Middle school is particularly tough, but it turns out itâs very navigable with the right perspective.
Whether you have a tween in middle school now or a child who will someday be there, these parenting tools are incredible, insightful, and some will take some time to practice. Start early by parenting your tween when theyâre about 5!
Youâll learn:
Why middle schoolers are SO different from other age groupsThe many crises of pre-adolescence and WHY they all pile up at onceThe shocking difference between girlsâ and boysâ confidence and interaction with the world in middle schoolSimple stories parents can tell to improve mental well-being for their kidsThe bane of the âimaginary audience,â particularly for girls A game you can play to help reframe tween drama (and tone down its deleterious effects)How to gradually release responsibility to your pre-teen (and the disastrous impact if you ever take it back!)The 2 best ways to start every conversation with a tween (or teen)Why learning to cook can help kids try new things at school tooWhy itâs nearly impossible to teach a middle schooler to âbe yourselfâ (this one kind of breaks my heart)One practical way to help your kids choose the right friends (this is seriously gold because we all know how powerful friends are in how our kids turn out!!)A resilience coping tool that I used the very day I recorded this interview so I wouldnât forget how to do itâŠResources We Mention for Parenting Middle Schoolers

Shannon Miller is a 7-time Olympic medalist and has over 100 national competition medals in gymnastics as well, more than half the gold kind. People in our generation certainly remember her name from the âMagnificent Sevenâ team gold winners in the 1996 Olympic games, where she captured the first balance beam gold an American had ever achieved.
Sheâs no stranger to hard work and success, obviously, and she went on after gymnastics to study marketing and entrepreneurship and even earned her law degree from Boston College.
Then life got a little crazier â she had her first baby in 2009, launched her company âThe Shannon Miller Lifestyle: Health and Fitness for Womenâ in 2010, and in 2011 was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Now thatâs a full plate and plenty of challenges, but Shannon used her Olympic grit to triumph in all areas, had another child in 2013, and wrote a book to inspire others to overcome their own personal challenges.
Today we get to talk about healthy mindset and goal setting and how parents can encourage a gold medal mindset in their children, even if theyâre not into athletics.
