Ep. 11: The Holistic Kids on Why Nutrigenomics Helps Kids Think, Feel, Function & Thrive

In this inspiring episode of the Full Focus Podcast, host Heather Morgan sits down with The Holistic Kids—brothers Abdullah, Zain, and Emaad Ansari—to explore their mission to revolutionize teen health. As national speakers, podcasters, and co-authors of The Teen Health Revolution, the brothers share what inspired them to interview more than 200 world-class experts and turn those insights into an accessible, teen-friendly guide for real challenges like anxiety, acne, gut issues, and mood disorders.

Together, they break down how nutrigenomics, personalized nutrition, and the gut–brain axis directly shape the way kids think, feel, focus, and function. The conversation dives into methylation, genetic variants, toxin exposure, stress management, and the food and lifestyle swaps that help kids thrive in early life, setting the foundation for academic success, emotional regulation, and lifelong well-being.

The boys also discuss their simple and powerful “REVOLUTION” framework, the escalating mental health crisis among today’s youth, and the impact of technology and social media on teen wellbeing. With kid-to-kid strategies, relatable stories, and evidence-informed insights, this episode offers practical, hopeful steps families can use now to support healthier brains and bodies.

The Holistic Kids are teen podcasters and speakers who host The Holistic Kids Show alongside their mother, physician Madiha Saeed, MD (HolisticMom, MD).
