Listen Later

We are now living in this crisis of chronic diseases – talk about obesity, anxiety, and depression. People have now become addicted to this quick-fix mentality. They turn to processed, unhealthy, and obesity-inducing fast foods, and healing from pain has become synonymous with a bottle of Tylenol. In this episode, Erik and Dr. Paula Ruffin talks about the power of choosing a healthier lifestyle that is only possible through intention and action.

Dr. Paula Ruffin is not just a solopreneur, but also an amazing solo mompreneur. As a single mother, she embraced motherhood just like her mother who laid the groundwork for her to live a healthy life. At an early age, the importance of nutrition and exercise has been ingrained in her. She went on to study exercise physiology, worked in the nutrition and obesity clinic, helping people with weight loss and movement, before eventually becoming a personal trainer. Currently, Dr. Paula Ruffin is a chiropractor, certified in first-line therapy, making sure that people are upping their game, both physically and mentally.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

  • Her passion for nutrition and exercise
  • The obesity pandemic
