What if the key to thriving as a mom isn’t “doing more,” but understanding your body better? From hormones and stress to functional medicine and genomic testing, Dr. Kristina Suntay shares how moms can take control of their health and finally feel like themselves again. From facing fertility and postpartum anxiety to tackling the constant tug-of-war of working motherhood, this conversation is a reminder that moms don’t have to suffer in silence—your health, your joy, and your career can thrive together.
“The key takeaway is that women don’t have to suffer in silence—if something feels off or you don’t feel like yourself, there are treatments that can help and even reverse many of those issues” – Dr. Kristina
What this episode offers for moms balancing it all:
- Redefining Balance – Motherhood and career don’t have to be at odds; it’s about finding harmony, not perfection.
- Your Body Knows Best – Trust your intuition. If something feels off (burnout, brain fog, anxiety), don’t ignore it—there are answers and solutions.
- Beyond Survival Mode – Stress, hormones, and even hidden inflammation can deeply affect energy, focus, and mood. Moms don’t have to “just deal with it.”
- Guilt is Real, but You’re Not Alone – The tug-of-war between career, kids, and self-care is universal. Talking about it takes away the shame.
- From Burnout to Breakthrough – Sometimes the hardest moments (postpartum struggles, career exhaustion) open doors to new ways of thriving.
- Health is Personal – Every mom’s body is unique. Precision wellness tools can uncover what your body really needs to function at its best.
- Wellness is Not a Luxury – Nourishing your body, managing stress, and prioritizing rest isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for being the mom and professional you want to be.
- Modeling for Our Kids – When moms take care of themselves, we teach our children resilience, balance, and self-worth.
