The Aware Families Podcast takes a practical, science-based look at how to keep your family healthy using a Functional Medicine perspective. Episodes are hosted by a pediatric physician (Tom Flass MD) and a family nurse practitioner (Brittany Coburn NP-C) who are trained in both conventional and functional medicine. They are navigating the challenges of the modern world with their own families and patients and share what they have learned along the way. A range of topics that impact your family’s health are covered, including nutrition, sleep, stress and mental health, exercise and physical activity, connection and community and toxic exposures in our air, food and water. This podcast strives to deliver real-world actionable health information to other parents looking to improve their lives and the lives of their children.
In this episode Brittany and Tom discuss the 5th Pillar of Health- how human connection, community and a sense of purpose have a major impact on the health of both adults and kids.ย
