Episode 43: A Holistic Approach to Nutrition with Dr. Ann Doggett Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

Today we welcome Dr. Ann Doggett, the founder of WholeBody Solutions in Braintree, MA which is a Hollistic Wellness Center focused on healing the body from the inside out using natural remedies. Dr. Ann has over 30 years of clinical experience and has helped patients across the country through chiropractic, nutrition, herbal medicine and regenerative medicine.

Dr. Ann sits down to talk with us today about what essential nutrients the female body needs, as well as those of our children. For individual problems, she analyzes the origin of health issues and identifies underlying causes of symptoms, and then customizes treatment plans for each patient with a holistic approach, rather than western medicine. The three of us are far from being "health nuts" but we know we can't use that as an excuse to neglect the nutrients our bodies need, and we're ready to start making small changes toward a healthier lifestyle.
Doing a total overhaul of your diet can be stressful and overwhelming, we get it! but Dr. Ann is here to simplify this process and inspire us all to reach our full potential for our mind, body and soul. There are so many great takeaways in this episode, and we are so grateful to have someone as intelligent as Dr. Ann on here to be a resource for us, and for our listeners.

Episode 35: Protecting Our Kids Online with Digital Health & Safety Expert Katie Greer Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

Today we are diving DEEP into the crucial world of parenting in the digital age with our special guest, internet safety expert Katie Greer! Katie is the former director of internet safety for the MA Attorney General's Office, and was directly involved with the development of one of the first internet safety programs ever.

Katie educates us on popular but problematic apps and games (ie., call of duty and discord), and some crazy stories she's encountered on them, and WOW, we were shocked to hear what really goes on behind the icons!

This episode is full of shock factors as we uncover how kids are hiding risky apps and content from their parents, and the importance of safety around technology. Our children are simply too young and not emotionally equipped to navigate that deep dark web.

We learn invaluable tips and tricks to gain insight into our children's online social lives, and strategies for reducing screen time to make sure we focus on social skills that are just so crucial for development.

The biggest takeaway for us, as parents to young children, is that the journey of safeguarding our kids begins today – don’t wait until it’s too late! Tune in now for a conversation that will revolutionize your approach to parenting in the digital era.

You can find Katie's contact information and resources through her website, https://www.klgreer.com/
