Episode 26 dives deep on the concept that you have to be well before you can have the energy to enact lasting change in your career, your family, your health, in others, etc. In Erica's words, for a person to have whole wellness they need to focus on 6 key things: what they eat, how much they sleep, how they move, what is their purpose, what is their community, and spirituality. Erica is the founder of Erica Ballard Health – a wellness company that optimizes individuals’ energy through food. Erica started her company after realizing health looks way different than what she thought, bought into, and sold for decades. Now, an evangelical about helping people do better, Erica teaches working professions how to truly take care of themselves despite their busy schedules. Erica has her MS from Tufts University School of Medicine, got her CHC through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, is a regular contributor to WTHR 13, and has been featured by Women’s Health, Lululemon, and the Young President’s Organization. Most recently Erica launched her own podcast, the Lies We Have Been Fed to help encourage others to pursue happiness and wellness as a packaged deal. To connect with Erica and to follow her journey please reach out through the following channels:Podcast - www.thelieswevebeenfed.com -OR- https://the-lies-weve-been-fed.simplecast.com/episodes/0-the-lies-weve-been-fed-trailer-qGkzQ_5cLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericaballard/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/elballardInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ericaballardhealthWebsite - www.ericaballardhealth.com
