Are you yearning to cultivate a lifestyle that promotes both your mental and physical health? Get ready to redefine self-care with this insightful discussion featuring Dr. B. Sanderbue Cannon and Dr. Delysha Haynes. Dr. Haynes reframes the act of self-care, not as a selfish indulgence, but as a necessary step in providing care for those around you. Her mantra, "fill up oneself first, and give from the overflow", encourages us to prioritize our wellbeing, thereby avoiding burnout. Dr. Cannon underlines the significance of basic self-care practices - proper sleep, nutrition, and exercise - and their role in our overall health.

But what happens when you're not a fan of conventional fitness routines? We've got you covered. The key is finding an activity you least dislike, turning a chore into a fun experience. Furthermore, we delve into the importance of diet. Taking a leaf from Dr. Buchanan's book, who successfully shed 40 pounds by steering clear of boxed foods and embracing whole foods, we discuss the hazards of overconsumption of ultra-processed foods. Tune in for an enlightening and informative conversation packed with self-care tips and strategies to enhance your mental and physical health.
