Managing Stress as Health Professionals, Pregnancy Adjustments, and Aging, Episode #68

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We started this Podcast to be completely transparent about the challenges people face in their health journey and life. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode was not planned, we were supposed to have a guest on, and things didn’t work out. We always have backup topics just in case something like this happens. But on this particular day, we both had so much going on personally, we ended up pressing record and just started talking about everything that was happening in our lives.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No one is perfect, not even people in the fitness industry. Unfortunately, social media has a tendency only to portray the highlights and not the struggles. We believe that one of the ways to lead by example is by being honest and sharing our struggles openly and honestly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our clinical practice, we have found that most people won’t be completely honest about their struggles if the professional they’re working with portrays perfection. A sense of judgment can hold people back from getting to the root cause of their issues. This is why we have a realistic approach to all things related to health and wellness.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode you’ll hear about all the things</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Managing stress</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unexpected changes during pregnancy</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Supportive husbands </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thoughts about aging and procedures</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emily’s pregnancy update [2:00]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imperfect Foods [12:18]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching [12:46]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Precision Nutrition [14:37]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kelly’s initial life adjustments
