About the Episode:
IN this episode Muneera shows us how the Ancient wisdom of Ayurveda can provide guidance for supporting today’s modern teenager.

Ayurveda examines health and systems through an understanding of the five elements and the way they combine in three dosas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each individual will have their own primary dosha and there are different times of day, year, and a lifetime more influenced by each particular dosha. The teenage years are particularly influenced by the fire and water elements associated with pitta. Muneera discusses diet, daily rhythm, healthy eating, and practical ways to handle stress gleaned from her years using Ayurveda with clients and her own family and teenagers.

Listen in and see how this ancient wisdom can be applicable to our modern times and teens.

Are you a parent to a teenager? For most parents, the teenage years can be the most challenging. Parenthood will make the best of us rethink our fundamental values and question our preconceived beliefs. The Raising Greener Teens podcast invites listeners to use their skills of curiosity, research, and humour to further develop as experts in the care of their family and to help guide the teens in their care to do the same.

Host Manda Aufochs Gillespie is the author of Green Mama & Green Mama-to-be, creator of the award-winning website thegreenmama.com, and founder of Folk University (folku.ca) and FolkU radio. She interviews doctors, naturopaths, sex educators, brain researchers, drug counsellors, parents who seem to be doing it better, and all sorts of interesting people in this series to provide inspiration to parents of teens and pre-teens, and—hopefully—teens themselves. Join Manda and her teenage daughter as they ask the experts: Is this the way it’s supposed to be?
