Join Dr. Michelle Quirk and her guest, Dr. Sara Ionescu, as they discuss the mental health benefits of running and how the mental strength carries over into other aspects of life.

Dr. Sara is a board certified family medicine physician, who is passionate about wellness, preventative care, and exercise, and she loves to inspire others to move. She was a competitive athlete growing up and continues to strive to stay physically active as she sees and feels the benefits daily. On navigating how to fit running and exercise into a busy schedule, Dr. Sara is an expert. She has four (soon to be five!) kiddos ages 6 and under, and shared all her best tips in our chat.
