Help your hormones work with you, not against you!
Becoming a teen brings lots of changes, and it can sometimes feel like your brain, body, and emotions are all over the place. Hormones are a big reason why, and when they’re out of balance, things can feel even more overwhelming. In this episode, The Holistic Kids and Dr. Cassie Smith explore hormones in kids—why they matter, what affects them, and how simple daily habits can help keep them in balance.
