This episode we get to hear from Dr. Lindsay Maggio as she dives into health and wellness as it relates to the trying to conceive, pregnant and postpartum! She shares how we can start to reframe the way we look at health, and tools to implement today. Website: https://www.perinatalpathwaysfl.com Instagram: @perinatal_pathways Bio: Lindsay has had a passion for medicine since she was a young girl and a passion for women's health. It was not surprising to any who knew her that she would become an ob/gyn who would then specialize in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, or high risk obstetrics. She loves what she does and loves caring for women to help them have a safe and healthy pregnancy, but recently decided she needed to help them in a different capacity. After having children as a single mom by choice, and working through her own health and wellness goals, she became board certified in Obesity medicine, Lifestyle medicine, and received training on health coaching all so that she can have the type of practice that gives women the time and assistance they need to reach their health and wellness goals. In this capacity, Lindsay is able to help her patients make even more substantial health changes, which will not only impact them and help them have a healthy pregnancy, but even beyond and through motherhood.
