What should teens actually be eating? In this episode of The Holistic Kid Show, hosts Zan and Ima sit down with world-renowned nutrition expert Dr. Joel Fuhrman, MD — 7x New York Times bestselling author and board-certified family physician — and his daughter Dr. Kara Fuhrman to break down the science of teen nutrition in a way that's real, actionable, and actually fun.

From the powerful G-BOMBS framework (Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries & Seeds) to the truth about food addiction, plant protein, acne, painful periods, and picky eaters — this episode is packed with wisdom every teen and parent needs to hear.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why what you eat as a teen has a bigger impact on your long-term health than what you eat as an adult

• The secret to athletic performance and longevity: shifting from animal to plant protein

• How to make healthy food actually taste amazing (yes, even ice cream!)

• Simple steps to start eating better today — including sprouting at home and making family soup nights

• Why acne, painful periods, and low energy are signs your diet needs a change — and how to fix it

Whether you're a teen trying to figure out what to eat, or a parent looking to raise healthier kids, this conversation will change the way you think about food.
