Ep. 59: We’re figuring out how to prioritize our health as parents

Dr. Valerie Hertzog is on the podcast this week breaking down how you can actually and sustainably support your health as a busy parent.

In this episode, we talk about:

+ Dr. Valerie’s life-altering autoimmune diagnosis during medical school

+ The 4 pillars of health and how to optimize each one

+ What you need to know about your sleep and napping habits

+ The medical definition of stress and what it does to us long term

+ How you can be more active when you’re starting from zero

And honestly so much more. This episode is inspiring, and uplifting and there is NO shame or triggering happening here.

Everything Dr. Valerie shared is doable and doesn’t add a massive list to your already beefy to-dos.
