Our approach

Health info kids can use

Made for kids

Short lessons in plain words, built for ages 8 to 14. If a 10-year-old can't follow it, we rewrite it.

Based on real guidance

Lessons are checked against guidance from the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and other medical groups. Each one lists its sources.

Practice, not just reading

Every lesson ends with quick questions and tap-the-body-part challenges, so the habits stick.

Meet the founder

Started by a Loudoun County student

I'm Vihaan Garg, a high school student in Loudoun County. I started The Health Huddle because young athletes get hurt in ways that are often preventable, and most injury advice isn't written for them.

I build the lessons, host the show, and run free sessions for local teams. If your team could use one, I'd love to hear from you.
