Ep. 70 Can Exercise Reset Your Teen’s Hunger Hormones?

Are you wondering if exercise can help hunger hormones in teens? 

How much cardio is really enough for teenagers? 

Can too much cardio mess with puberty hormones? In this episode, I break down:

• What the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 
• The difference between moderate and vigorous activity 
• How cardio impacts hormones like leptin and insulin 
• Creative ideas to help your teen move more — even if they hate the gym 
• How overtraining can harm metabolism, especially in teen girls 

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!
