//201: Effective Strategies for Managing Stress and Promoting Health for High-Achieving Entrepreneurs with Laurie Hammer

Are you struggling to balance your roles as a mom, entrepreneur, and wife? Have you considered how stress might be impacting your business and your health? What if there were simple changes you could make to improve your mental and physical well-being that would also impact your business?

I just had an awesome chat with Laurie Hammer: a certified nutritional therapist who also happens to be a mom, entrepreneur, wife, and podcaster. We dove into the real struggles we face juggling business and homeschooling, and how stress affects our bodies. Laurie shared her personal battles with an eating disorder and celiac disease, which led her to discover amino acid therapy and its benefits for mental health.

Have you ever heard of Amino Acid therapy before? I haven’t! 

We also tackled the need for rest amidst our hectic lives, and Laurie gave us practical tips for scheduling downtime and prioritizing sleep. Plus, she opened up about the pressures our kids face and the importance of mental health days for them. 

Her professional and practical advice on nutrition's role in brain health was a game-changer, especially her suggestions for protein-rich snacks and balanced diets.

Remember, sister friend, rest and sleep are not just luxuries—they're necessities for us to operate with excellence. 

Topics covered in the episode:

• The challenges faced by high-achieving women and its impact on the body
• Explanation of amino acid therapy and its role in addressing mental health issues
• Significance of rest and practical advice for women to prioritize rest and self-care
