Healthy Lifestyle & Risk Prevention for Teens and Adolescents

Adolescence is a time of rapid growth, new experiences, and lifelong habit-building. The choices made during these years—around nutrition, sleep, physical activity, mental wellbeing, relationships, and digital life—can have a lasting impact on health well into adulthood. Yet, young people today are also navigating an overwhelming amount of health information, much of it confusing, misleading, or driven by social media trends.

This special edition of First Check LIVE brings together leading doctors, psychologists, nutrition experts, educators, parents, and youth advocates for an engaging conversation on what it really means to live a healthy life as a teenager.

Together, we'll explore:

• Building healthy habits that last a lifetime
• Nutrition, fitness, sleep, and everyday wellbeing
• Mental health, stress, and emotional resilience
• Screen time, social media, and digital wellness
• Preventing lifestyle-related health risks early
• Separating health facts from myths and misinformation

Designed for teenagers, young adults, parents, educators, and anyone who works with young people, this interactive session combines expert insights, practical advice, and live audience questions to help participants make informed, evidence-based health decisions.

Whether you're a student looking to better understand your health, a parent supporting your child's wellbeing, or an educator shaping healthier communities, this session will leave you with practical tools you can apply immediately.
