Living Well Radio Show #475 - Mother's Day

In this special Mother's Day episode of 'Living Well with Robin Stoloff', we raise a toast to all the moms and grandmoms, and remember those who are no longer with us. It also marks the beginning of National Women's Health Week, an initiative by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, focusing on physical, mental, and emotional well-being of women of all ages. With daily highlights on a diverse range of health topics, you can find resources available on our website, app and Facebook page.

The emphasis of estrogen's importance for reproductive, mood, and overall women's health is made, offering five key factors for maintaining estrogen and hormonal balance including a healthy diet, adequate physical activity, quality sleep, essential vitamins and carefully chosen supplements.

A conversation with personal trainer, Christina Perry, owner of Olakai Functional Fitness, brings to light the benefits of strength training for women. Beyond establishing strength and reducing injury risks, it also serves to improve heart health, blood pressure, cholesterol and circulation.

We also delve into time management techniques with Anne Del Rey, a nationally board-certified health and wellness coach. Building awareness of time allocation and building 'harmony' instead of balance are cornerstones to stress management.

In honor of Women's Checkup Day, make sure to register appointments for routine screenings and check-ups as early detection can save lives. And let's not forget to appreciate the multitasking, hard-working moms out there – a recent survey reveals that the median value of a stay-at-home mom's work is around $178,000 flat!

This special edition also includes a heartfelt tribute to Robin’s mother, a strong and resilient woman who embarked on a courageous health journey.

Join us once again next week, as we continue to empower you to live a healthier life on 'Living Well with Robin Stoloff'.
