Table of Contents

(Ages 12–19 | Designed by Dr. Akanksha Sharma, MBBS, MD)

Teenagers aren’t just “small adults”—they are metabolic high-performance machines undergoing a total hormonal renovation. Generic health advice doesn’t work for them. They need a plan that respects their school schedule, their social life, and their developing brain. 🚀

The 4-Week “Bio-Hacking for Teens” Roadmap 🗺️

🧠 Week 1: Brain Fuel & Cognitive Clarity

The “Focus” Protocol: Nutrition to stabilise blood sugar and eliminate the “after-school crash.”
Dopamine Detox: Gently shifting away from ultra-processed “hyper-palatable” snacks without feeling restricted.
Hydration & Mental Sharpness: Why water and electrolytes are the secret to acing exams.

🦴 Week 2: The Growth & Bone Matrix

The Height & Bone Pillar: Maximising Calcium, Vitamin D, and Protein intake during the peak growth velocity phase.
Skin Health from Within: Managing “Teen Acne” by reducing inflammatory dairy and high-glycemic triggers.
Muscle Recovery: Nutrition for the student-athlete to prevent injury and fatigue.

🌙 Week 3: Circadian Rhythm & Sleep Hygiene

The Sleep-Sugar Connection: Understanding how late-night blue light and snacks affect morning mood and energy.
Hormonal Balance: Supporting the natural rise and fall of Melatonin and Cortisol for better emotional regulation.

🍔 Week 4: The Lifestyle Architect (Sustainability)

The “Social Eater” Strategy: How to make better choices at the mall, cinema, or school canteen without being the “weird” one.
Body Positivity & Intuitive Eating: Moving away from “diets” and toward “nourishment” for life.

Why a Doctor-Led Program for Teens? 🏥

🚫 No Calorie Counting: We focus on Nutrient Density, not restriction. We want to avoid the roots of eating disorders.
🩸 Anemia & Deficiency Screening: Guidance on identifying iron, B12, or Vitamin D deficiencies common in Singaporean/Indian teens.
🎓 Evidence-Based Habits: Teaching teens the “Science of Why” so they make better choices even when parents aren’t watching.
💬 High-Touch, Relatable Support: Communicating in a way that resonates with Gen Z—empowering, not lecturing.

The Results: A High-Performance Foundation 🎯

Sustained Energy: No more mid-day slumps or morning grogginess.
Sharper Focus: Better concentration during study hours.
Habit Formation: A lifelong, pressure-free relationship with food.
Physical Optimisation: Supporting healthy weight, skin, and height potential.
