This week, I talk with Dr. Erika Siegel, a naturopathic doctor with nearly 20 years of experience. I discovered her work through a recommendation from my doctor and was immediately drawn to her two-volume book set, The Nourish Me Kitchen, which combines essential health wisdom with practical recipes. As a coach, I see many entrepreneurs burning out due to the immense physical and mental demands of their work. In our conversation, Erika shares her journey and insights on how to maintain wellness as an entrepreneur. We explore how to sustain your health, just like a professional athlete, to keep performing at your best. If you’re looking for practical tips on managing stress, taking care of your body, and making an impact without sacrificing your well-being, this episode is for you. Let’s get to it!
