Eating Mindfully for Teens

“Susan Albers has written a superb manual for teenagers that provides expert information and advice about food, mood, and mindful eating. This thoughtful book offers creative and engaging ways for teens and anyone who wants to truly understand mindful eating to learn about this important subject, but more importantly, to take action to feel more at ease with food and their bodies.”
—Carolyn Coker Ross, MD, MPH, speaker, pioneer in the use of integrative medicine for eating disorders and addictions, and author of The Emotional Eating Workbook

“Susan Albers’s new book, Eating Mindfully for Teens, is the perfect solution to navigating emotional eating challenges in teens. I love the scripts that she provides, the active journal exercises, and her suggestions for movement and other healthier solutions for when teens need more energy, or to calm their emotions. I will absolutely share this with my teen daughter, my clients, and the mothers in my practice.”
—Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, founder and CEO of The Integrative Women’s Health Institute

 “I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of Susan Albers’s new book, because I knew she had included a section on sleep (activity eight) where she correctly identifies the effect of sleep on mindful eating. In addition, she gives great activities for teens—known to be incredibly sleep deprived—to participate in. This will be a great resource for anyone working with teens and mindful eating.” 
—Michael Breus, PhD, The Sleep Doctor™

“The teen years can be challenging in so many ways, including struggles with body image, relationships, and emotions. Susan Albers’s workbook practically tackles the unhealthy relationships teens can develop with food, and provides a much-needed resource in this area. I highly recommend it for parents and professionals looking to teach teens the tools for making a lifetime of healthy choices around food, while improving self-image, resilience, and coping skills in the process.”
—Nicole Beurkens, PhD, CNS, licensed psychologist and certified nutrition specialist

“Eating Mindfully for Teens is an invaluable resource for both parents and practitioners to help children create beneficial eating habits that last a lifetime.

—Joe Tatta, DPT, CNS, bestselling author of Heal Your Pain Now

“It’s so encouraging to read a book that teaches a wise and rational approach to eating instead of another quick-fix or temporary diet. Susan Albers’s Eating Mindfully for Teens offers the effective technique of mindfulness as a method to help teens develop a healthy relationship with food that they can put into place and hopefully keep for the rest of their lives.”
