Just in time for graduation! Parents of High School Seniors, this one's for you!
In this episode, Maria Mayes welcomes back Anna Resende to discuss her new book, "Living Your Best Life in College: How to Avoid the Freshman 15, Stay Healthy and Thrive for Good." Anna shares how the book offers holistic guidance for college students transitioning to independent living.
The conversation explores how nutrition serves as an accessible starting point for wellness, with Anna noting that many students lack awareness about food system issues. She offers practical strategies for college students, including how to navigate dining halls, make informed fast food choices, and prepare simple dorm-friendly meals and snacks without kitchen equipment. Anna also emphasizes the importance of stress management for today's students, who face unique pressures, including social media. She encourages journaling, breathwork, and other coping mechanisms as alternatives to unhealthy habits.
From toxic nutrition, they pivot to toxic relationships, as Anna was shocked to discover young people experiencing emotional abuse in their romantic relationships. She includes this topic in her book's "Detox Your Life" chapter. Both hosts emphasize the importance of helping young adults understand they have agency in choosing what nourishes rather than numbs them, particularly regarding alcohol consumption. While the book targets college students, parents will also find valuable insights to support their children through these transitions.
