Holistic health addresses the whole person through both modern and ancient practices like diet, exercise, and meditation. It views the client as an active participant in improving their physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, and occupational dimensions of health. Adolescence brings rapid physical growth and hormonal changes as well as developments in abstract thinking and social/emotional skills. Both boys and girls experience distinctive puberty changes affecting their bodies, minds, and identities during this transitional period.
