In this episode of The Model Health Show we are happy to welcome MommyMD, Jennifer Hanes. Dr. Hanes is a board certified emergency and integrative medicine physician out of Austin, Texas. We're truly excited to have her on the show today to share her insights about raising healthy kids by being healthier parents.

Illness is not always preventable, but it's up to us as parents to create the conditions to give our kids the best shot possible. This episode is going to give you an incredible foundation to keep your kids healthy and happy for many years to come.

One of the biggest secrets of raising healthy kids is to be the example of health yourself. The real key is to focus on you first. Take better care of you, so that you can take better care of them. Even when you're on an airplane they tell you to "put your mask on first before assisting your child". This is so that you are more capable and focused to do a great job when they really need you most.

If you don't take good care of yourself then you're not showing up as the best version of you for your family. When you don't have the energy, when you don't feel good, it shows. So, today it's time to get the blueprint for taking great care of yourself, and show up for your family better than you ever have before!
