Hey there! My name is Eshika Paruchuri, founder of the Healthy Teens Initiative. I am a student of Woodbridge Academy Magnet School, in New Jersey. I have a big interest in healthcare and a passion for learning about ways to improve teen health and health awareness. It has always been my interest to learn about healthy lifestyles and nutrition which inspired me to educate teens to build a healthy teens website that provides practical suggestions from well-experienced doctors globally.
As a teenager myself, I find so many things to keep up with during these years—stress from school, extracurricular activities, friendships, family expectations, and the constant motivation to stay fit and healthy.
Being a teenager today means balancing a lot: struggling to get enough sleep, steering through insecurities, trying to feel confident, and striving to do well academically. This lead me to start this podcast. I wanted to create a space where we could have honest conversations about the challenges teens face and explore practical tips for staying healthy, both mentally and physically–with advice from doctors!
On the Healthy Teens Podcast, I’ll be talking with doctors across various specializations, about mental health, fitness, diet, harmful diseases we may come across, common medical myths, statistics, and what teens can do to keep a healthy body. My goal is to provide factual and helpful content that helps us all feel more empowered to make healthier choices and take care of ourselves. Join me as we dive into topics like managing stress, building better habits, understanding mental health, and navigating the ups and downs of teen life.
" I stumbled upon this podcast, and it's been a game-changer. Each episode is like a burst of inspiration and knowledge. I can't believe how much I've learned and how entertained I am. Thank you for creating such an amazing show "
