ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗

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.

Ep. 102 Teen Prediabetes: Why "Keep an Eye on It" Is Riskier Than You Think

"He will grow out of it." "Let's just keep an eye on it." "He is a teenager, this is normal." I hear these phrases from families all the time. And I completely understand why. Waiting feels reasonable. But when it comes to prediabetes in teenagers, the wait and se…
