We’ve had it up to here with bad adolescent nutrition advice.
If you haven’t listened to our past episodes with Dr. Erin Ley, you’ve missed out on a lot of ranting, a lot of practical solutions and a lot of laughing. Dr. Erin Ley is one of the Naturopathic Doctors at Clarity Health, serving people all over Ontario Canada. Erin sees both our adolescent patients and our male patients (in addition to patients looking for nutrition support and hormonal health) which gives her amazing insight into the challenges of working with this unique population. Whether you’re a young person yourself or have a young person in your life, this episode will give you insight into why the discussion around nutrition has become so complicated, the role of social media and belief systems in choosing nutrition for a young person and how parents can put down the responsibility of being the expert in their young adult child’s life. We cover additional topics such as Why Jordan finds working with parents and teens so challenging. Why Erin loves it! What basic nutritional “truths there are”, and how learning these truths can make nutrition feel easier (for everyone). How to think about the pattern of your eating patterns and how they fit into your life. Why influencing a young person’s nutrition has a lasting impact on their life. Erin is accepting new patients at Clarity Health for late spring 2023 and beyond. You can submit a web request for a new patient onboarding call at www.clarityhealthburlington.ca.
