About this episode

We’re back with a new episode of Motherish, and this week we’re joined by Dr. Priyanka Chopra, a functional and internal medicine physician and founder of Nivaan Health. We’re talking about functional medicine, preventative care and why moms need to make their own health a priority. So often, we wait until something feels wrong before we see a doctor, rather than building a relationship with a physician who knows us, understands our history and can help us be proactive about our health. Dr. Chopra shares why advocating for yourself matters, how to ask better questions and why finding a doctor who aligns with your values can make all the difference. Because taking care of everyone else starts with making sure we’re taking care of ourselves, too.
