Your Teen Isn't Lazy. Their Body is in Survival Mode
And $159 might save you from $5,000 of trial, error, and tears.
Last week I sat with a father and his teenage daughter who, like so many others, were stuck in that painful in-between place:
“We’ve tried everything. Nothing seems to stick. And I’m watching her shut down.”
She wasn’t being dramatic.
She wasn’t being difficult.
She was tired. Bloated. Uncomfortable in her body.
Stuck in a loop of cravings, fatigue, irritability—and shame.
And like many of the teens I see today, she’d started to believe that maybe she was the problem. That maybe her body was just “broken.”
Cue the isolation, the late-night snacking, the refusal to exercise, and the flat, defeated stare when someone mentions “eating better.”
But what if the problem isn’t her at all?
What if it’s her metabolism trying to survive?
We don’t talk about insulin resistance in teens and preteens enough.
Not just because of what it does to the body—but what it does to the mind.
And for neurodivergent kids, sensitive kids, kids recovering from trauma, kids on meds that affect appetite and hormones (like birth control or mood stabilizers), the effects are even more intense.
They become less motivated. More reactive. Less resilient.
And in that state?
Trying to talk to them about “discipline” or “getting it together” is like whispering affirmations into a hurricane.
The Hidden Cost of Doing Nothing
We rarely make decisions in a vacuum—we make decisions relative to what else is available.
So let’s zoom out. When it comes to helping your teen feel better in their body, what’s actually on the table?
Let’s break it down the way a parent would at 2am after another food fight and a slammed door:
Psych meds
$250–$500/month
Mood stabilization—but often at the cost of energy, weight gain or unnatural appetite suppression that leaves them nutritionally depleted.
Nutritionist or meal plans
$100–$300/month
Advice they may not follow (especially if they gag at “healthy food”)
Personal trainer or gym
$300–$600/month
Good in theory—if they’ll go, if they feel safe, if it doesn’t backfire on their self-esteem. And still doesn’t address the root cause.
Doing nothing
Free now—very costly later
Weight gain, chronic inflammation, worsening mood, growing resentment, parental burnout and a dire diagnosis.
The Feel Great System
$159/month (with my link)
2 daily plant-based tools that work with the body. No restriction. No side effects. No lectures.
So… Why Am I Telling You This?
As a Pediatrician, I’ve watched too many parents spend thousands of dollars chasing solutions that never quite land—meanwhile, their child’s body continues to whisper, then scream, for relief.
The Feel Great System isn’t a trendy hack or a short-term cleanse. It’s not meant to fix or shame your teen.
It’s a nervous system-friendly, zero-shame, biology-first support system that I recommend when kids (and parents) are:
Too overwhelmed to do “one more thing”
Tired of being told they just need to try harder
Needing a win that feels doable without needing perfection
And when we stabilize the inside, everything on the outside begins to soften—resistance, fatigue, anxiety, even the way they see themselves.
What’s actually in the Feel Great System?
Just two steps. That’s it.
Unimate Tea (Morning/Afternoon)
A gentle, plant-based chlorogenic acid tea your teen drinks in between meals that:
Boosts energy without the jitters
Helps regulate appetite
Reduces sugar cravings
Improves mood and focus
It tastes like lemon iced tea. They can sip it hot or cold in the morning and in between meals to avoid snacking and boost insulin sensitivity. Most teens forget it’s even part of a protocol. They just feel… better.
Balance Fiber (Before Dinner)
A fiber matrix taken before their biggest meal. It’s super delicious and it:
Keeps them full longer
Reduces sugar crashes after meals
Supports digestion and regularity
Calms the “bottomless pit” effect they feel after carbs
Both are safe, gluten-free, Canada Health and NSF approved, plant-based, patented and most importantly, teen-friendly.
No calorie counting. No food policing. Just support—that works.
So Why $159?
Let’s be real: $159 isn’t nothing.
But it’s a fraction of the money parents spend every year on failed programs, canceled gym memberships, meal plans no one uses, and supplements that don’t get past the second week.

What Happens When the Body Feels Safe Again?
Here’s what I’ve seen from real teens who have used The Feel Great System:
They stop saying “nothing works for me”
Their energy returns (without needing a Red Bull)
Their bloating, cravings, and constant snacking start to fade
They feel just regulated enough to try something else—a walk, a smoothie, maybe even a conversation
And sometimes? They finally look in the mirror and don’t wince
That’s when the real coaching begins.
But it starts with giving them hope and a low barrier to entry. And that’s what the Feel Great System provides.
Give Them Hope Before Summer’s Over
In an instant, summer vacation will be over. The school aisles will fill with new backpacks, sneakers, and carefully chosen outfits meant to help kids feel like they’re starting fresh.
But what if we gave them a real reset—not just new supplies, but a new sense of self?
In just 90 days, your teen could:
Wake up with more energy
Stop relying on snacks to regulate their mood
Feel less bloated and more confident in their skin
Start showing up for life again—not because they have to, but because they want to
New clothes can’t change their biology.
A fresh planner won’t reset their metabolism.
But this system can. And it costs less than most back-to-school shopping sprees.
Let’s give them the kind of confidence that doesn’t wash off after the first day of school.
Let’s give them a head start—while there’s still time.
