BDA Baby (Before, During and After Baby)

So many parents feel helpless by the amount of technology our children find themselves on and around. Michaeleen is here to tell us that our kid's brains are actually much easier to rewire than we think they are. In her new book Dopamine Kids Michaeleen Doucleff gives parents a step-by-step guide for how to rewire their kids’ brains to seek out healthier sources of dopamine.  

Michaeleen starts today’s conversation by explaining exactly what dopamine does in our brains. It’s much more complex than just making us feel good! She also gives parents practical tips for how to swap screens for healthier sources of dopamine for our kids. Things like audio books and riding bikes can give our kids the dopamine their brains crave but in healthier ways that fulfill more aspects of their lives. Stepping away from screen time can be daunting, but Michaeleen encourages parents to remember that kids’ brains are flexible and will adapt quickly.

Eliminating painful cycles through nutrition? Yes please! As women, we often accept that uncomfortable symptoms around our cycles are normal and assumed . Lauren Chambers is here to help rewrite that narrative. As a nutrition and hormone coach, Lauren has a wealth of knowledge of how food can impact our hormones. Today, she breaks down the phases of a woman’s cycle and how nutrition can support a woman throughout her cycle.
In her new cookbook, Hormone Healthy Eats, Lauren gives recipes for every phase of our hormone cycle. Today, she breaks down the building blocks in those recipes like iron-rich foods during the menstrual phase and fresh vegetables during the follicular phase.
