This week we are doing something fun. We are having our last guest's husband on to talk about his perspective. Part of last week's conversation was about dealing with one parent having more flexibility in their schedule, while the other's is more rigid. By default, do more responsibilities fall onto the parent with more flexibility? We let both sides weigh in.
But Dr. Jonathan is also a colorectal surgeon! So he shares a lot of great tips about how to not take work home with you, how to manage self-care with a busy schedule, and yes also how to care for your colon.
