Healthy Habits In Times Of Change with Dr Pamela Fergusson RD

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Dr. Pamela Fergusson RD about maintaining healthy habits in times of change. Whether you are in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, or have turned 40 more than once 😉 you have been through a change in your life and you likely will again. Sometimes change is welcome and easy. Other times it can be stressful, but it usually means our routines and even our environments are changing. So how do we keep our healthy lifestyle values in check?

Pamela Fergusson gives us some really great practical ideas, as she has done it all. She became a parent, adopted 3 children at once, moved across the country and so much more. We never know what our journey will look like, so let’s get some great ideas on how to keep with things as we arrive at the different pit stops of life. Why not tag us on Instagram or Facebook @planttrainers of you taking part in a healthy habit so we can all be inspired!
