The Science of Stress / Essentials of Teenage Health
Requirements
- No requirements. If you’ve ever been stressed, you’re already halfway qualified! No PhD in Psychology needed, no prior experience wrestling with tigers (though that would make for a cool story).
- This course is beginner-friendly, so whether you’re a teenager navigating the stormy seas of high school or an adult trying to remember where you left your car keys (again), you’re in the right place.
- Required Skills: 1. Breathing: If you can do this, you’re good to go. Advanced inhalers and exhalers will find extra credit opportunities. 2. A Pulse: Highly recommended but not strictly mandatory—though we do suggest having one to fully engage with the content. 3. Sense of Humor: Stress is serious, but learning doesn’t have to be. A good laugh is encouraged.

If any of my content inspires curiosity and learning in you, you've made my day! Hi there! I'm Sriteja, and I believe in the power of sharing to empower teens to live healthier, happier lives. For me, it's quite fulfilling.
And that's what subtly drives everything I do. From founding a nutrition company focused on teenage health (TEJA - Teenage Eating for Joyful Adulthood) to creating courses here on teenage well-being. From connecting with teens thru my YouTube channel (Sriteja Shares) to leading initiatives in mental health with VTSeva org. Whether it's sharing knowledge thru my courses, insights thru my interviews with notable figures, or health awareness thru walkathons, I love sharing what I know, what I think is important, with all of you.
So join me on this journey of empowerment - let's learn, share, and grow together.
