“It’s just a phase, right?”
Your teen is staying up past midnight, sleeping in until lunchtime on weekends, and constantly feeling tired — but this isn’t just normal adolescence. Disrupted sleep patterns can be one of the earliest signs of deeper mental health challenges.

🧠 Sleep and mental health are deeply connected. For teens, poor sleep can:
• Worsen anxiety and low mood
• Disrupt hormone regulation
• Increase impulsivity and overwhelm
• Trigger a cascade of nervous system dysregulation

As a naturopath who supports young people, I see this all the time — and I want you to know: there’s more going on than just screen time habits.

💬 In this series, we’ll explore what’s happening underneath your teen’s sleep patterns and how natural, holistic support can help.

You’ve been so focused on their mental health…
that you’ve forgotten your own.

Parenting through this can feel like running a marathon with no finish line.
You’re tired, stretched thin, and relying on sheer willpower to keep going.

Your body needs care just as much as theirs.
Stable blood sugar, restorative sleep, replenished nutrients, and a calmer nervous system can be the difference between constant reactivity and being able to respond with steadiness.

You don’t have to “fix” yourself first — but when your energy and resilience improve, you have more capacity to support them without losing yourself in the process.

✨ What if once a week, you did a simple parent + teen check-in together?

A gentle moment to ask:
• How’s your energy been?
• Any changes in sleep, appetite, moods?
• What have you been craving (emotionally and nutritionally)?
• What’s feeling good… and what’s feeling off?

This isn’t about being clinical — it’s about connection.
It shows them they’re not alone. It creates space for honesty.
And it’s a reminder that health is a family conversation, not something they have to navigate in isolation.

🌿 And if something comes up that feels out of balance — you’re right there beside them, ready to support.

You don’t have to be perfect. Just present.
The check-in itself is the medicine.

💬 “I just don’t know how to help them anymore…”
If that’s a thought you’ve had lately — you’re not alone.
So many parents I speak to are watching their teen change before their eyes… feeling shut out, helpless, and heartbroken.

🌱 As a naturopath working in youth mental health, I see every day how deep the struggle can go — and how much healing is possible when we stop treating just the symptoms and start supporting the whole person.

✨ If you’re ready to understand what’s really going on for your teen — physically, emotionally, and neurologically — let’s start that conversation together.

Getting your tween, teen or young adult to eat well can sometimes feel like a battle, but their bodies need proper nutrition for their brain chemistry! 🧠

Every little bit helps; sneak some veggie broth into a bolognese. 🤫

Cook your rice in a veggie broth 🍚

If all they’re eating is packet noodles - cook them in this! It will add flavour and nutrients to an otherwise nutritionally empty meal.

Get creative, get sneaky, but get it into them! 😄
