EVENT DESCRIPTION:
This will be the second in a two-part series examining why it’s become surprisingly difficult to discuss and address the nutritional aspects of mental health.

Mood swings, difficulty focusing, disrupted sleep, irregular periods are all hallmarks of adolescence and not necessarily signs of disorder. Yet antidepressant prescriptions for teens have risen 66% in six years, ADHD diagnoses now affect more than 6 million children, and hormonal contraception is routinely prescribed to teenage girls for symptoms that may reflect normal development. Join FAIR and Dr. Kendra Kautz for a candid conversation about what parents are often not told before a prescription is written and what questions they have every right to ask. Drawing on real cases and peer-reviewed research, this webinar will explore the physiological context behind adolescent symptoms and ask what informed consent should really mean before a family agrees to a prescription that could change a developing brain.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
* Dr. Kendra Kautz, DC is a chiropractor and holistic health consultant based in Orange County, CA, with a focus on whole-body wellness. After dealing with her own struggles—burnout, gut issues, migraines, autoimmunity, and chronic injury through sports—she became passionate about helping others get to the bottom of what’s holding them back from feeling their best. Her approach combines chiropractic care and applied kinesiology, a practice that helps evaluate the body from all angles—structurally, chemically, and emotionally. By using muscle testing to assess neurological function, posture evaluation, HRV readings and lab testing when necessary, Dr. Kendra is assessing the full picture with her patients. She believes that when people really understand how all the systems in their body work together, they feel empowered to take charge of their health and create lasting change.
