Using Our Lifestyle to Improve Wellbeing with Shanika Esparaz (EP341)
Are you looking to make changes or improvements in your health? There may be areas in your life that you don't even realize contribute to feeling groggy or 'off' when it comes to your holistic wellbeing. It is my hope that this conversation with double board-certified physician, Shani Esparaz, will provide clarity and answers. We dive into the importance of holistic treatment and lifestyle medicine, focusing on six pillars: whole food nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, positive social connection, stress management, and avoidance of risky behaviors. Even if you're familiar with the affect of these six pillars on your life, I guarantee you'll walk away from this episode with one piece of advice you've yet to implement!
