Puberty & The Brain Rewire: What Every Parent and Teen Needs to Know
Sep 09, 2025
Puberty isn’t just about physical changes — it’s a complete rewiring of the brain and nervous system.
In this new episode of Master Stress with Dr. S, I explore the powerful hormonal and neurological shifts that shape how teenagers think, feel, and act.
🔍 Inside the episode:
- The HPG axis and the surge of sex hormones driving physical changes
- Why the emotional brain develops faster than the rational brain — and how this impacts behaviour
- The hidden influence of social media and academic pressures on teenage stress
- Practical tools for parents and teachers: from prioritising sleep and nutrition to modelling emotional regulation
This isn’t about “fixing” teenagers — it’s about understanding them. When we see the science behind their emotions and choices, we can replace conflict with empathy, frustration with compassion.

The teenage years don’t have to be a battleground. With the right knowledge, they can be a bridge.
