I’ve said for years the key for life long good health is teaching our children what it means to be healthy. I can’t think of a better podcast to start the year off right than with Dr. Madiha Saeed sharing her passion for helping families get healthy and stay healthy.Madiha is a dynamo of positive energy. How refreshing to see a conventionally trained MD, be so passionate about holistic health. I wish Jill and I had had access to a holistic physician when my kids were younger. We had to educate ourselves and come up with strategies for raising our kids to be health oriented thinkers and eaters.Our first born, Dakotah didn’t have processed sugar until her fifth birthday. It must have been a treat since she face planted into her cake and emerged with a smile and a face full of cake.My kids have grown up without ever eating at McDonald’s or other fast food restaurants. They rarely if ever drink sodas.None of us are perfect. Nor should we be. A treat here and there is fine. Harris loves sweets! Ridge loves ice cream and Jill loves but rarely eats baked goods (she’s gluten intolerant).We’ve mellowed over the years. I think that happens when you’re on number three.However, all my children understand the importance of eating healthy and making good choices. They aren’t perfect but they get the big picture.Being healthy and staying healthy is a real advantage in life, something not to be taken lightly. Eating healthy is an investment that repeatedly pays dividends over a lifetime. I enjoyed spending time with Dr. Saeed. I think you will too. About My Super Healthy Human Podcast, Guest Speaker: Dr. Madiha SaeedBorn and raised in Illinois, I completed my residency in South Bend, Indiana, after which, I joined an integrative medical practice. There, I witnessed firsthand the struggles each patient encountered, and their frustration in not knowing where to begin. With my team, which included a nutritionist, psychotherapist, exercise physiologist, chiropractor, acupuncturist and other physicians, I was determined to get to the root cause of disease for each patient and myself.Not only did I have the joy of witnessing hundreds of success stories thanks to a holistic approach, I experienced firsthand the power of healing as I lost 50 pounds and beat hypothyroidism, eczema, sebhorrheic dermatitis, acne, fatigue, alopecia, joint pain, weight and digestive issues, all while balancing a growing family and work!In 2015, I moved to my hometown and established my own practice. When I wasn’t with patients, I was researching, pulling together the puzzle pieces of true holistic health care. If I as a physician was confused, how could those suffering all over the world find healing?After four years of study, I took matters into my own hands and wrote The Holistic Rx: Your Guide to Healing Chronic Inflammation and Disease. It became a #1 best seller in multiple categories on Amazon, interpreting the best of holistic, functional and integrative medicine in ONE source for over 70 conditions across the lifespan.My enthusiasm for holistic health only continues to grow. Years of study and interactions with patients have transformed my life as a doctor, coach, wife and mother. My crazy life at home is filled with five young, very active boys (four sons and a husband), a daily reminder of my passion: helping families heal and prevent disease, despite a crazy and busy schedule.--> You can learn more about Dr. Madiha Saeed at www.HolisticMomMd.com
