About
The Young and Healthy Project bridges the gap between medical professionals and youth. We provide bite-sized, science-backed, and easy-to-implement practices to support teens' long-term health—mind and body.
Our Story
Young and Healthy began with a question: what if young people had access to the same knowledge, tools, and inspiration that top health professionals do? Founded by Aeshna Chatterji, a high school student from the Bay Area with a passion for healthcare, this project was created to change the way teens engage with their well-being.
Aeshna saw how complex and inaccessible health information often felt to teens. So she decided to build a space where health could feel personal, practical, and powerful. After connecting with medical professionals, educators, and other youth leaders, she launched the Young and Healthy Project as a growing advocacy platform rooted in preventive health. Her goal? To help teens worldwide create lifelong healthy habits that are easy to understand and even easier to start.
​
Through this project, she writes, interviews experts, creates educational tools, and organizes opportunities for youth to lead their own local wellness efforts. The Young and Healthy Project is about ownership—putting the future of health in the hands of those living it.
