Lifestyle and Weight Loss For TeensAuthor: Dr Jenny Gourgari, Pediatric Endocrinologist and Obesity Medicine Diplomate
Is your teen showing early signs of insulin resistance and prediabetes, gaining weight too quickly and is always hungry?Before you try another diet or cut another food group you need to hear this.Teen weight gain is rarely about willpower. During puberty, hormones like insulin, cortisol, and estrogen directly drive how your teen stores fat, feels hungry, and burns energy. If no one has explained that to you yet, this podcast is where that changes. Lifestyle for Teens with Dr. Jenny is built on one belief: No Diets. No Shame. Just Hormones That Work.Dr. Jenny Gourgari is a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist and she knows this journey personally. She spent her own teenage years struggling with weight and chronic dieting before understanding that hormones, not habits, were driving the cycle. Now she helps parents and teens do what she wished someone had helped her do sooner.HIT "FOLLOW" the podcast to never miss an episode!VISIT MY WEBSITE:https://lifestyleforteens.com?utm_sourcebuzzsprout&utm_mediumpodcast_description&utm_campaignhomepageGET FREE RESOURCES TO HELP YOUR TEEN:https://lifestyleforteens.com/free-resources/?utm_sourcebuzzsprout&utm_mediumpodcast_description&utm_campaignfree_resourcesSUBSCRIBE TO MY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:https://members.lifestyleforteens.com/f/subscribe-for-weekly-resources?utm_sourcebuzzsprout&utm_mediumpodcast_description&utm_campaignnewsletterSTART REVERSING INSULIN RESISTANCE TODAY:https://lifestyleforteens.com/reset?utm_sourcebuzzsprout&utm_mediumpodcast_description&utm_campaignmini_lift Language: en-us Genres: Health & Fitness, Medicine, Nutrition Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Ep. 105 “I’m Too Lazy to Exercise”—Why Starting Feels So Hard
Wednesday, 9 September, 2026
Do you ever say, “I’m too lazy to exercise,” or wonder why you cannot make yourself go to the gym?You are not lazy. Starting is simply harder when exercise is not yet part of your routine.After returning from my summer vacation in Greece, I struggled to get back to the gym too. I made excuses, missed workouts, and felt guilty. Then one phone call from a friend changed everything.In this episode of The Lifestyle and Weight Loss for Teens Podcast, I share what helped me start moving again—and how the same ideas can help teenagers build an exercise routine without guilt, shame, or pressure.Your teen does not need to begin with a hard workout or spend an hour at the gym. Walking the dog, swimming, dancing, playing basketball, or taking a short walk with a friend all count.The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to make starting easier.If your teen needs help building healthier habits, join the 7-Day “Healthy Weight Starts With Healthy Habits” Mini Course for $25.
