A Huge-Hearted, Innovative Team

Scott Swift co-founded Teen Health after realizing that the problem wasn't a lack of products — it was a lack of systems to get them to youth-serving organizations that needed them.

With a background in technology startups and systems building, Scott brings a practical, operations-driven mindset to nonprofit work. He focuses on partnerships, logistics, and scalable infrastructure that strengthen existing youth services rather than duplicating them.

Scott's perspective was shaped by work with families and community organizations, as well as conversations at autism and epilepsy conferences where nutrition and dietary therapy consistently emerged as central topics because of their real-world impact.

Lisa Carlson co-founded Teen Health after seeing firsthand how foundational health support affects daily functioning and emotional regulation.

With more than 20 years in the natural products industry and lived experience as the parent of a son with autism, Lisa brings both professional and personal insight into Teen Health's mission.

She has seen how nutrition, hydration, inflammation, and biological stress shape behavior, stability, and recovery — and how limited the tools often are beyond pharmaceutical or behavioral interventions.
