As we transition from summer to fall, it’s common to notice changes in our bodies—whether it’s slight weight gain, the loss of that “summer glow,” or a different feeling in your skin. These shifts can stir up emotions, so today, we’re having a BODY check! Joining me is Dr. Lisa Folden, a physical therapist and women’s health expert, to share body image tips for navigating the rest of the year. Listen up!

The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body. Join Valerie Agyeman, Women’s Health Dietitian as she breaks through topics surrounding periods, women’s nutrition, body awareness, and self-care.
