    Teens & Nutrition: The Secret Weapon to Natural Energy & Hormone Balance with Dr. Christie Hafer

    “What should we feed our kids? Just a good rule of thumb: If you can't understand the ingredients, it’s probably not good information for your body, either. Your body's not going to understand it.”

As a passionate advocate for children's health and a chiropractor, Christie provides an enlightening perspective on the link between nutrition, lifestyle, and the psychology of the fight-or-flight response. They tackle the everyday pressures on our teens and the importance of arming them with the knowledge they need to make informed nutrition decisions.

    The conversation deepens as Taryn and Christie discuss the essential role parents play in shaping their children's eating habits. They shine a light on the necessity of stocking the right foods at home and how social media platforms can be a double-edged sword. They delve into the importance of educating teens on a well-rounded lifestyle that includes proper sleep, hydration, nutrition, and rest. They show you how this contributes to their physical well-being and performance, both on the sports field and in the classroom.

    They explore how stress impacts our teens’ health and hormones, and throw light on how we can use nutrition to manage these effects. They also touch on the effects of technology on mental health and how parents can help their teens establish healthy nutrition habits.

    When to Change Up your "Diet" (aka Macro Nutrition) Plan

    When to Change Up your "Diet" (aka Macro Nutrition) Plan

    Regardless of where you’re at on your wellness journey, you may find yourself needing to switch up your diet or, more specifically, your macro plan. A macro diet is not a one-and-done deal that you stick to for a short period and throw away once you’ve reached your weight goals.


    Rather, it’s a lifestyle-oriented plan that involves changing and forming new nutritional habits for the long term. Those habits need to be adaptable regardless of your current goal (ex. weight loss, building muscle, etc.).


    Listen in as I discuss the three macronutrients, how to figure out the best ratio for your unique plan, and how to track what you’re eating without the pressure of feeling that you need to restrict yourself.


    I then break down the four phases of a macro nutrition plan, how to recognize which phase you’re in, how to take purposeful next steps on your journey, and how to adjust your plan as your circumstances change.



    Key Topics:

    • Defining “macro nutrition plan” (03:07)
    • Defining “macronutrients” (05:33)
    • Tracking your macronutrient intake (09:01)
    • Why cheat days are BS (14:24)
    • The four phases of a macro nutrition plan (20:08)
    • How to recognize which phase you’re in (31:08)
    • Committing to a lifestyle change (37:54)
