How women strive to find balance in their lives by juggling their 6 roles each day; woman, partner, daughter, mother, business owner and professional. I am an Integrative General Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in helping women find solutions for managing weight, female hormone imbalances, gut issues, anxiety, depression, chronic diseases and fatigue. Stress is a significant player in the development of chronic ailments. I was inspired to start this podcast to help women become aware of the connection of stress, lifestyle and nutrition with their health and how we can support one another to achieve balance and lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
