If you have a teenager who struggles to get in shape… if your child is tired of trying restrictive diets that don’t work… if you are scared as a mom you will say or do the wrong thing and your teen might end up having a chronic battle with food, body image issues and eating disorder… then this message is just for your family.
Here is why…
You may have realized already that there is a cost to ignoring your teen’s struggle with their weight
If You Don't Do Something About It, The Struggle Just Gets Worse
What most teenagers do when they are unhappy with how they look and feel is try every diet that comes their way on Tik-Tok or Facebook… They may try random “detox programs”, or “magic shakes”, or starve themselves for days, only to end up overeating after a few days and gain back all the weight, feeling more frustrated, sad and desperate. That translates to stress for the whole family and tense strained relationships between you and your child.
But for most teenagers, none of that works.
- The primary problem is that restrictive diets are not sustainable.
- Teens love their independence; however, they don’t always know how to make healthy choices.
- Most teenagers are very busy with their homework and don’t know how to fit healthy habits in their busy schedule.
- And finally, teenagers are very emotional and don’t know how to handle disappointments and stress, which often leads to emotional overeating.
And what happens if you just do nothing? If your teen just keeps doing what they’ve been doing? They end up hating their body, they have poor self-esteem, they feel depressed, stressed, they isolate from friends and spend so much time in misery and self-loathing instead of feeling happy and confident.
How I created the LIfestyle For Teens – LIFT Program
I know how you feel, I was like you! Here’s the story:
When I was a teenager, I was constantly dieting in high school. That would only last a few days and then I went back to eating daily croissants. My number one priority was to get to medical school and I used food to handle the stress associated with all the exams. I was not comfortable with my body and I felt deprived. Years later, I learned about all the hormones that regulate our hunger and how healthy habits and proper food can regulate these hormones. I also discovered that a lot of the overeating happens because we can’t control our stress and disappointments. And finally, I never thought of myself as an “athletic type” and exercise was a burden. Now, I can’t imagine my life without going to the gym.
I have seen many teenagers who struggle with their weight and a lot of them already have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, body image issues and eating disorders. Most of them have tried everything out there and are looking for help from someone they trust to build healthy habits that last. And then one day I realized I needed to create a program for families like yours, because If I don’t do it, these teenagers will just continue doing the same unsuccessful strategies they have been doing so far.
There is nothing more rewarding to me than helping teens build a healthy lifestyle so they can feel happier, less stressed, and love their body again.
What people who have worked with me say
I used to overeat at lunch most days and I always found excuses for not working out. Dr. Gourgari helped me create a routine that is easy to follow, I learned how to cook healthy meals in less than 30 minutes and I never looked back at my old habits!
Losing weight used to look impossible for me before I started my health coaching program with Dr Gourgari! It's about taking small effective steps in life and seeing big results.
I am so happy I found Dr Gourgari as my Health Coach. I was seeking help with uncovering sleep issues and finding natural solutions. Dr. G cares deeply about her clients. I used to have poor sleeping habits and I felt tired all the time. After working with Dr G as my Coach, I was able to implement doable habits and finally sleep better, feel more energetic and am happier. I renewed my energy and confidence while really learning how to listen to my body to make healthier choices. I love Dr G. and highly recommend working with her! She is caring, knowledgeable and really changed my life!
