She has a Bachelor's of Science degree from Southern Illinois University, and has worked in Hospitals, Outpatient imaging centers, OBGYN offices, and now in a private Perinatology office.

Health shares aren't very well understood. Today I want to help you understand what a healthshare is, and what it can do for you.

Today's guest is Heather Eden. She is the Business Development Manager at Zion Health, affordable alternative to health insurance. Her first passion is my family. Her next passion is encouraging the best health, in all forms. She thrives on thinking outside the box-whether that is making decisions for your healthcare; or encouraging prevention by movement, nutrition, and caring for the soul; or by engaging in solutions for ongoing care for the body. She is fascinated by the human body and passionate about physical movement in all forms, most inspired by anything adrenaline-producing or by the stillness of yoga and mediation.

Full disclosure, I am an affiliate for Zion Healthshare but I am also a user, and it's the healthshare that I have found most comfortable. This link will take you to their DPC program. I appreciate it when you say you heard about them from me.

Big thanks to our sponsor Family Routines -- by getting in routines, and finding helpful partners like Healthshares -- it makes every day easier (to handle when kids get crazy). :)
