Manage episode 379293583 series 3415408
If you're a mom or part of a family, this episode is right up your alley.
In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Toh Togolawi, a renowned family physician and double board-certified expert in lifestyle medicine, who is particularly enthusiastic about plant-based eating. We talk about lifestyle medicine and its strong focus on six foundational pillars crucial for preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic diseases.
The pillars are;
- Nutrition, with an emphasis on plant-based diets.
- Stress management.
- Regular physical activity.
- Avoidance of risky behaviors such as alcohol and tobacco use.
- Adequate sleep.
- Social connection
In our conversation, Dr. Togolawi highlights the importance of passing down these principles to children, establishing a foundation for a healthier life as they grow. Whether it's adopting plant-based nutrition, encouraging more physical activity, or teaching stress management, involving kids in these practices can have a significant impact.
Tune in for valuable insights into transforming your family's well-being.
