The following podcast is a deer media production.

Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Lisa Pressman and today's episode,

and the creation of health. Dr. Bordman is also Harvard-educated Cornell trained

in the author of Everyday Vitality, where she combines the science with the practical applications

culture. And you're talking about hard science and how to incorporate that into your everyday

experiences so that you can thrive, which sometimes people think, well, I don't have time for that.

And parents, especially, except that we know that for kids to thrive, your primary caregiver needs
